Once your asphalt material is laid down, follow the best practices below to ensure it is compacted properly.
3 factors that affect your screed depth
Most common screed error: dropping the match height lower than the main screedThe match height adjusts the extension up or down in relation to the main screed. It needs to be adjusted in order to get the perfect mat. However, if you drop it lower than the main screed, you will get material starvation on your main screed. Soon after you will see shadowing or tearing behind your main screed and the screed will start to dive because it doesn't have any material to ride on. To avoid this from happening, you should set the extension match height to the point where you start to see a small line coming off the corner of your main screed. Once you have that, you can leave it there, because this will typically roll out easily. However, if you want that perfect look, bump your match height down slightly to remove your line. Don't go too far, however, or you will have the same problem stated above. Contact Pittman Tractor for more information on asphalt paving and asphalt compaction!

My favorite part of this article is that your could receive better compaction result when mixing a hotter function. My brother told me the other day that he and his wife were looking for a contractor that could pave layers of asphalt in their driveway because of cracked parts and potholes, and he asked if I had any idea what would be the best option to consider. Thanks for helping me with an informative article, I'll be sure to tell him that consulting a trusted asphalt company can help them provide more information about the asphalt operation.

I want to make sure that I get my asphalt floors put together, but I'm not sure how to go about it. It makes sense that I would want to get a professional to help me out with this! They would have the equipment necessary to ensure that it gets installed correctly.

My cousin is interested in using asphalt to remodel his house's exterior next weekend, but he is not a professional and doesn't have the equipment for the job. I'm glad you mentioned that your base type and condition affect the compaction levels required during an asphalt project, so I think that my cousin must read this to change his mind about doing his project in a DIY style. I appreciate your tips on asphalt compaction and how your asphalt layer position affects it.

Thanks for helping me understand that the result would be better when the mix is hotter, since the compaction will be better as well. I will share this information with my husband if we are hiring asphalt services to construct the driveway for our new home. We wanted to choose that material because we have two pickup trucks we use, since it is the type of vehicle we both wanted.

It's interesting when you said that prioritizing appropriate procedures for your equipment process could help with a faster asphalt project timeline. A few nights ago, one of my parent's friends told us he was looking for an asphalt service that could help pave their driveway because of cracked parts and potholes. He asked if I had any idea what would be the best option to consider. Thanks for helping me understand. I'll tell him that consulting asphalt paving services can provide more information about the process.
