Utility trench paving from McLean Asphalt restores roads and driveways cut open for water, gas, electric, or fiber line work.
A trench cut disturbs the compacted base beneath the pavement, and a poor patch job settles or cracks along the seam within a year or two.
We recompact the base properly before repaving so the patch holds.
We match the patch to the surrounding asphalt's thickness and grade so it sits flush rather than leaving a raised or sunken seam.
Edges are sealed to keep water from working its way underneath.
If a previous trench patch has already sunk or cracked, that's typically a base problem rather than a surface one.
