SKIN PATCH/OVERLAY
Areas to be surface skin patched are generally located near a source of water. In our desert, that normally means sprinklers. Constant surface water flowing over asphalt will erode and remove the surface aggregate, slowly carving and scarring the
surface of your pavement. This
surface decays, then distorts the drainage patterns, resulting in depressions, which if not corrected,
will advance the structural failure requiring full depth removal and replacement.
DEPTH REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT
Once again, water is the primary culprit. Poor drainage patterns allowing water to pool on your pavement will result in structural failure, requiring full depth removal and replacement. These failed
areas are most often identified by large blocks of alligator cracking, which if not corrected, will break
loose creating potholes.
