Reconstructing entire roads have been our latest and greatest accomplishments.  Our Grinding Crew with our new asphalt grinder can come in and in one day completely remove an entire block of deteriorated asphalt at a depth of 4 to 6  inches. This depth is usually deeper than the existing asphalt, taking out all imperfections.  The very next day the Paving Crew comes in and paves the road back and has the road open usually by 5pm making it accessible to residents coming home from work.  What so many of the residents have experienced is leaving to work with their road in bad shape,  coming home to their street having been completely removed,  leave for work the next day with the road still gone, then coming home from work to a brand new street. 

When the Streets Division Does an "overlay"  it consists of: send out written notification to businesses and residents describing the work to be done, grinding the curb & gutter to a depth of 2 inches, grind any failed areas in the existing road and replace with new asphalt, lay 2 inches of new asphalt over the existing road with our paving machine, and roll for compaction.
