What to Expect During a New Construction Paving Project

Jul 14, 2025 | Asphalt

Whether you’re building a new home, commercial facility, or development, quality paving is essential to your property’s long-term value and function. At Five Star Asphalt, we guide clients through every phase of the new construction paving process—ensuring a surface that’s smooth, durable, and built to last.

Step 1: Site Evaluation and Planning

Every successful project begins with a detailed site evaluation. Our team assesses the terrain, drainage conditions, and traffic needs to determine the best materials and paving thickness. We’ll also coordinate with your general contractor to align with your construction timeline.

Step 2: Grading and Base Preparation

Proper grading ensures water runs away from the paved surface, preventing pooling and premature damage. We then install and compact the aggregate base layer—typically composed of crushed stone or gravel—which forms the foundation of your asphalt surface. This phase is critical to avoid future settling or cracking.

Step 3: Binder and Surface Layers

Once the base is prepped, we apply a binder layer—a strong, coarse asphalt mix that provides structural strength. The final surface layer, made of finer asphalt, is then laid to create a smooth, even finish.

Depending on your needs, we can also install curbs, aprons, or transitions to existing pavement.

Step 4: Compaction and Final Touches

The last step involves compacting the asphalt layers using a vibratory roller. This eliminates air pockets, strengthens the pavement, and ensures a long-lasting, even surface. For commercial lots or roads, we also offer line striping, signage, and sealcoating options.
