Asphalt, Bitumen, Blacktop and Tarmac are just some of the terms used to describe asphalt. They are basically all the same and comprised of aggregate stone or road base, mixed with sand or gravel. A refined oil binder is added to the mix which is then heated causing it to become both pour-able and spreadable.

Preventative maintenance is key to keeping your asphalt in tip-top condition. For commercial areas, it is a good idea to budget for crack filling at least once a year. Usually, a few hundred dollars spent inspecting and repairing small problems will save you thousands down the track when and if complete resurfacing is required.
