Different Ways Paving Services Are Utilized

Jul 05, 2022

Paving services can be an excellent option for individuals, businesses, and municipalities to have their driveways, parking lots, or streets and sidewalks refurbished. As versatile as paving services may be, there are a few key ways in which people tend to work with these professionals. Knowing what to expect with each kind of paving service is essential so you have an idea of the best option for your needs and budget. Detailed below are common ways that people utilize paving services.


To Reduce Noise


Paved areas, especially those with heavy truck traffic, can be noisy. To reduce noise pollution in your neighborhood, consider paving the ground with asphalt or concrete slabs. Asphalt pavement has sufficient noise attenuating properties compared to most other pavements. According to the National Asphalt Pavement Association, asphalt-paved highways experience lower noise levels of three to five decibels than highways with noise walls, proving the noise-reducing quality of asphalt material. Avoid using surfaces like gravel that offer no sound reduction benefits whatsoever.


For Commercial Paving


People often use pavement services in commercial settings. Paved surfaces are ideal for parking lots, as it's important any clientele has a nice, smooth area to park their car while they wait for services. Parking garages are another common place to use a commercial paving surface. Paving contractors also construct sidewalks with concrete, asphalt, or compacted shale aggregate surfacing.


For Residential Paving


Like commercial paving services, you can use residential paving for driveways and parking lots. You can also use them for walkways or trails if your property allows for it. Homeowners can use the paving service to create spaces for front and back door entry, too. In some cases, there are requirements for your paving that must meet the Uniform Building Code if it is intended for residential use. Be sure to keep an eye out for this.


For Municipal Paving


In most areas of the country, concrete or asphalt is not the only choice for building pavements. In fact, in many cities and towns, concrete and asphalt are usually not used for paving services. Many municipalities offer extensive sidewalk networks of concrete, brick, or stone walkways through beautiful parks, riverside trails, and historic neighborhoods.


To Utilize Overlays


Some paving services require you to use more than one type of material. Suppose you prefer to use a complementary surface. In this case, you might consider using decorative concrete overlays. With this type of pavement, the look would be attractive and cost-effective without reducing the performance properties of the asphalt pavement itself by too much. Paved surfaces with multiple layers have additional reinforcement and damage prevention.


When it comes to the paving you want for your property, think about how you will use it. For example, consider using an asphalt slab instead of concrete if you prefer a quiet environment. Also, consider the geographical location you live in and what type of climate you live in. For more information about paving or to get started with our services, call Lee and Sons Paving LLC today.
