Restore any asphalt surface to its prime condition with the expert team at Solve Civil. Our dedicated specialists have years of training and experience in asphalt overlay, delivering our high-quality products to government bodies and industrial projects across Sydney. Resurfacing efforts have breathed new life and integrity into car parks, driveways, roads, and many more civil projects. When an existing surface is in need of a new layer of asphalt, book a consultation with Solve Civil.
With years of use and changing weather conditions, it’s natural for the top layer of an asphalt application to experience wear and tear. However, minor cracks and uneven surfaces don’t require the complete replacement of an existing asphalt project.
Asphalt resurfacing provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for worn-down structures. It’s the middle-ground between asphalt repair and replacement, ensuring minimal work and resources with maximum outcome. This is because the existing surface doesn’t need to be torn up for replacement or continuously patched when problem areas appear.
Instead, resurfaced asphalt maintains the integrity of the existing structure while giving it new life. It does so by milling the top layer of asphalt to remove damaged surfaces and add grooves. The new layer will use these grooves for proper and long-lasting adherence.
Before application, the milled surface is swept to remove debris. Then, a new surface layer of asphalt is applied, levelled out and rolled. Leaving a renewed top layer that maintains the support and thickness of the old asphalt.
Noticing signs that your asphalt paving needs resurfacing is crucial for not just the durability of the area, but also ensuring the health and safety of pavement users.
Regular inspections can aid in early intervention efforts, which can be used to schedule a resurfacing service from a trusted civil construction provider.
Once asphalt is laid, it should look and feel smooth to the touch. Disruptions to this level surface are one of the first and most notable signs your asphalt may need resurfacing.
Common visible indications of surface deterioration include:
When the surface integrity of the top asphalt layer begins to deteriorate, it’s not just its appearance that’s affected. The issues can continue to the sub-base structure, threatening more extensive damage that can cause issues with users’ well-being.
Drainage is one of the more common indications of a structural issue in asphalt. When water begins pooling on top of the paving or along the sides, this shows the layers have lost proper sloping or developed low spots.
The standing water caused by this improper drainage can speed up the deterioration of pavement materials. Over time, this leads to more potholes, which increases the likelihood of base issues in the paving.
Professional assessment of these kinds of issues is required to determine if resurfacing is sufficient or if more extensive asphalt services are needed.
Several factors can cause asphalt integrity to degrade, including:
However, its age and a lack of maintenance are one of the more common causes of asphalt repairs. With regular use and time, asphalt driveways, roads and car parks can begin to show signs of wear.
Scheduling professional appointments, like regular road maintenance, can prevent surface-level damage from becoming costly repairs. Consider booking a comprehensive asphalt health assessment from the efficient team over at Solve Civil.
Step 1: Consultation & Site Assessment
Our asphalt resurfacing services begin with an on-site assessment and detailed consultation. With years of experience as head contractor for various asphalt projects, we have a strong understanding of operational, safety, and access compliance requirements.
Step 2: Planning, Design & Approvals
Once we have a clear idea of the current condition and desired outcome of your project, we can begin planning our part.
Solve Civil takes care of every step in the asphalt resurfacing process. This includes preparing all project design documents, lodging all necessary approvals on your behalf, and filling in any knowledge gaps you may encounter. We take care of the hard work so you don't have to.
Step 3: Health, Safety & Risk Management
The Solve Civil team is trained and experienced in the latest work health and safety requirements in NSW. This allows us to identify and minimise any risks on-site, keeping every project member safe throughout the resurfacing task.
Step 6: Finalisation & Handover
Once construction work has been completed, our team will provide final quality checks and clean up the site. We then provide formal handover procedures, including as-built documentation, compliance records, and even maintenance instructions for future use.
Step 5: Construction Management
Our oversight capabilities extend to supervising the construction work required for asphalt resurfacing, including those necessary from other teams. These collaborative efforts strive for long-term performance expectations, not just immediate completion of our work.
This way, your final asphalt product provides a long-lasting surface that integrates into the larger-scale product seamlessly.
Step 4: Programme Coordination

The longevity of resurfaced asphalt varies between projects, based on factors such as: the amount of work needed, the previous structural integrity, the surrounding climate, traffic levels, and more.
However, a resurfaced asphalt pavement should last for an additional 8 to 15 years. However, proper maintenance from a trusted construction company may extend this renewed lifespan further.
Unfortunately, it’s not advised to resurface asphalt in wet weather. This is because rain and moisture can get into the materials, preventing the laid asphalt from properly bonding or adhering to the existing surface.
To prevent disruption to the surface’s integrity, it’s best to resurface asphalt during dry weather.
Asphalt patching provides localised and temporary repairs to small cracks and potholes in the material. While it’s an affordable solution to damage, it often lasts for only a few years and detracts from the pavement’s visual appeal with its dark patches.
In contrast, resurfacing completely renews the topmost layer of an asphalt surface. It’s a long-term solution that blends in well with existing work. It also adapts well to widespread damage, which may become more costly and uneven when done with patching.
If the base is structurally sound and issues are minor, it’s best to choose the more affordable option of asphalt resurfacing.
However, a complete replacement of an asphalt project may be required if damage is extensive and extends to the base.
Yes, resurfacing can handle the strain involved with heavily trafficked areas when applied by a trusted professional. So long as the base is strong and damage is restricted to the surface, even highways can have their asphalt resurfaced.
Yes, Solve Civil handles all traffic management for road resurfacing projects. With careful planning and certified traffic controllers, we keep vehicles and pedestrians safe while works are carried out, ensuring minimal disruption to site operations.
