Paving: There are many different factors that contribute to a good paving job. Asphalt is a material where tradeoffs need to be made in order to optimize performance. Courser material is stronger but finer material looks better. Softer material last longer and is more crack resistant but may be too soft for a specific use that a customer has in mind.

Once a mix design is chosen, the material must be placed correctly to achieve maximum durability. The asphalt must be at the proper temperature ands needs to be rolled at the just the right times to obtain both compaction and a smooth finished surface. Pavement construction is as much an art as a science and both good training and experience are important.

Petromat: Petromat is a fabric that is installed between layers of pavement to increase its strength, provide better resistance to cracking and create a moisture barrier. Petromat overlays are often the most cost effective way to renew and strengthen old asphalt. But obtain the benefits of petromat, it must be installed correctly and with the proper materials and equipment. We use Amoco brand petromat fabric and our crews are specifically trained for the installation of this product.

Sealing and Striping: Sealing helps to protect and extend the life of asphalt pavements and it is also an inexpensive way to improve the appearance of your property. An old, stained or faded parking lot can often be transformed into a new looking asset with only a fresh coat of seal.

Many other contractors save money by manufacturing their own sealer with inferior ingredients and poor quality control. This can substantially reduce the longevity and value of a sealing job.

For this reason City Service exclusively uses Guardtop sealer manufactured by Vulcan Materials, which is recognized as the highest quality product available. Vulcan Materials is an international construction materials company with Guardtop plants in Irwindale and Texas. City Service is the largest applicator of Guardtop on the west coast.
