The Strength Beneath the Surface
A paved surface is only as good as the base it sits on. At Mahaffey Asphalt, we treat aggregate base installation with the same care as the final finish. Without a properly compacted base, even the best asphalt or concrete will fail prematurely.
Our team uses industry-standard compaction methods and high-quality local materials to create a foundation that resists shifting, settling, and water damage, extending the life of your asphalt or concrete.
The Installation Process
1. Material Placement
We spread the aggregate in uniform lifts to ensure consistent density and prevent segregation of materials.
2. Moisture Conditioning
Adding the correct amount of moisture is critical for achieving maximum density during compaction.
3. Compaction & Testing
We compact the base to meet strict density requirements, creating a solid platform for the final surface course.
