  • Resurfacing Asphalt Instead of Complete Replacement

    Resurfacing your parking surface is a good alternative to complete replacement. Regular maintenance, including seal coating and crack filling, can extend your asphalt surface’s life enabling you to get the best possible return on your investment without having to break the bank.


    The difference between seal coating and resurfacing lies within finding the root of the problem with your pavement. Structural issues can result if your pavement does not have a proper foundation. In order to strengthen it, Larsco can help you to resurface the problem areas without having to do a complete overhaul of your space.

  • Resurfacing Adds Years of Life to Your Asphalt

    Not every space can be resurfaced, which is why our staff will do a full assessment on how to best serve your needs for the most beneficial investment. If done properly, resurfacing can add 10-15 years to the life of your asphalt. If youd like more information on resurfacing, please call us today or fill out our contact form.

What Is Asphalt Resurfacing?

Asphalt resurfacing, also known as an overlay, involves applying a new layer of asphalt over an existing surface. It’s ideal for situations where the pavement is worn or faded but the base is still intact. Unlike sealcoating, which simply protects the surface, resurfacing adds a new structural layer to restore performance and appearance.


The process begins with a site evaluation. Our team checks for surface wear, drainage issues, and any signs of base instability. If the underlying structure is sound, we prepare the surface by cleaning and milling where needed. Then we apply a new hot-mix asphalt layer, compact it thoroughly, and confirm that water drains properly from the finished surface.


The result is a clean, smooth asphalt finish that looks fresh and functions like new, all at a lower cost and with less disruption than full removal and replacement.

  • When Resurfacing Makes Sense

    Resurfacing is not a fix for every asphalt issue, but when it’s appropriate, it’s a smart investment. It’s most effective when the pavement has moderate surface wear such as cracking, fading, or oxidation while the foundation remains stable. Surface-level imperfections are covered and sealed by the new layer, which also helps reinforce the entire structure.


    We don’t use guesswork. Every project starts with a thorough inspection. We’ll walk the site with you, examine the condition of the base, and discuss whether resurfacing will give you the performance and lifespan you expect. If not, we’ll explain why another approach might be better.

  • Our Approach to Asphalt Resurfacing

    Proper resurfacing takes more than just pouring new asphalt on top of old. Our process is designed to ensure strong bonding, even drainage, and long-term durability. 


    We start by removing loose debris and cleaning the surface thoroughly. If necessary, we mill high spots or edges to allow for a seamless transition. We treat cracks and voids to prevent them from resurfacing through the new layer. A tack coat is applied to help the new asphalt adhere properly, and then we pave and compact the overlay using commercial-grade rollers. 


    As we finish, we check grading and water flow to ensure proper drainage. On commercial properties, we include new line striping and signage to restore a clean, organized look. On residential driveways, we ensure smooth transitions to sidewalks, garages, and the street. 


    This attention to detail makes a major difference in how your resurfaced asphalt performs in the years ahead. We approach every project with care and precision, just as we would for our own property.

  • Resurfacing vs. Sealcoating and Replacement

    It’s common to confuse resurfacing with sealcoating or even full replacement, but these services have very different purposes.


    Sealcoating is a preventative maintenance step. It helps protect asphalt from oxidation, water, and oil damage, but it won’t repair deep cracks or surface damage.


    Replacement is for pavement that has failed structurally. If the base is unstable or heavily damaged, laying new asphalt on top won’t solve the underlying issues. In those cases, we recommend complete removal and rebuilding to provide a stable, long-lasting surface.


    Resurfacing, on the other hand, restores function and appearance without the full cost of replacement. It bridges the gap between routine maintenance and major reconstruction, extending the life of your pavement when conditions are right.

Why Resurfacing Works

Done correctly, resurfacing can add 8 to 15 years of usable life to your lot or driveway. It also:


  • Restores a smooth driving or walking surface
  • Reduces tripping hazards and improves safety
  • Prevents small issues from growing into large, expensive ones
  • Enhances curb appeal and overall property value
  • Offers a more budget-friendly alternative to full replacement


Resurfacing projects also take less time to complete and typically cause less disruption. For many clients especially businesses trying to minimize downtime, this is a major advantage.

Maintaining a Resurfaced Surface

A newly resurfaced driveway or parking lot still needs regular care to remain in good shape. After the first full season of weather, we recommend applying sealcoat to protect the surface. Sealcoating every 2 to 3 years helps prevent fading, oxidation, and moisture intrusion.


Addressing small cracks early is another key to maintaining performance. Over time, weather and traffic can create surface stress. Our maintenance team offers crack sealing and minor patching to address these issues before they spread.


We partner with property owners to create long-term maintenance plans that keep resurfaced asphalt performing its best. You’ll know exactly what to expect and when to call us for help.

FAQ: Resurfacing Asphalt Services

  • How do I know if my lot or driveway qualifies for resurfacing?

    We’ll inspect the surface and foundation. If the base is stable and damage is mostly superficial, resurfacing is often the best option.

  • Is resurfacing disruptive?

    Not usually. Most resurfacing jobs take one to two days. We work efficiently to minimize interruption, especially for businesses that need to stay open.

  • Can you resurface just part of a lot or driveway?

    Yes. Partial resurfacing is possible if the rest of the surface is still in good condition. We’ll ensure the new surface blends seamlessly.

  • How soon can I use the resurfaced area?

    In most cases, you can walk on it within 24 hours and drive on it after 48 to 72 hours. We’ll give you specific timing based on your project.

  • Will resurfacing eliminate all cracks?

    It covers most cracks, but some deep or active cracks can reflect through over time. We use proper prep and treatment to minimize this risk.
