Can Asphalt Works co-exist with andscaping and Gardens?
Asphalt and bitumen car-parks and walkways tend to be "plain Jane" but do they have to be? Local Government regulations mean that minimum (and maximum) vehicle parking must be allocated relevant to various residential and commercial parking applications. This doesn't mean that attractive and environmentally attractive, sustainable and eco-helpful landscaping cannot co-exist with car-parks and walkways.
Driveway repair
After our recent storms wreaked havoc, this week we were asked to complete a new driveway to turn a muddy track into a durable weather-proof surface. Due to the large amount of water the area had washed away and left ruts and potholes everywhere. Now the owner can enter and leave the property without risking car damage or injury.

Rain and how it affects asphalt and bitumen
RAIN! We need it here in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast and all over QLD. However, we live in the land of droughts and flooding plains and I must say that I believe in climate change and it is having an effect on asphalt and bitumen also. The longevity of your asphalt and bitumen car-parks, walk-ways and all asphalt and bitumen areas is directly determined by sun, wind and rain as well as the wear and tear of vehicle and foot traffic.
- Rain - seeps under asphalt if it doesn't have runoff ...
- Rain - seeps into cracks and disperses the underlying sand, soil and screenings and corrodes rea also ...
- Rain - seeps into potholes ...
- Rain - washes out road base if it is not sealed ...
- Rain - feeds weeds that grow into asphalt ...
- Rain - feeds trees roots that lift and split asphalt and bitumen surfaces ...
All of the above result in costly asphalt and bitumen repairs if left unchecked. Avoid the risk of unnecessary major asphalt and bitumen repairs by contacting Budget Asphalt now.

Fixing drain problems
Do you have water sitting on the driveway and not getting to the drain? In this job we solved the problem for the customer by saw cutting the area, lowering the drain and reinstating the asphalt with fall to the drain. With only 20mm fall to get the puddled water to drain away properly it was tight, but we succeeded thanks to our great team.

When water is left sitting on asphalt, over time it will soften the sub base and cause large holes to appear. You will save time and money by getting it fixed early to avoid a major issue down the track. Contact us now!
