This driveway was an add on to the right side and resurface the existing driveway. We removed all unsuitable materials and installed dense graded base.

We compact the base then install 1 1/2″ of 3/8″ finish asphalt over the binder and existing asphalt.We removed all unsuitable material and installed dense graded base. We installed 3″ of state-top asphalt over graded base and compacted brown chip stones into half the driveway for a colonial look.

All work was preformed while the business stayed open.Curbing in your parking lot can play many rolls. Curbing can be used to establish the edge of the pavement so that vehicles stay on the asphalt. It is also used to direct water flow toward catch basins (storm drains). Curbing can also be used to protect islands and landscaping and to keep the landscaping from washing out in to the parking area during rains.

The cape cod asphalt berm style is becoming more popular for curbing. It has a sloped front, angling from the front base to the top of approximately 6” high back. It looks similar to a triangle. The theory behind a sloped front is when a snow plow hits the curb it will bounce over it and not just push it off the edge of the pavement.The one drawback to cape cod berm is a vehicle can hit it and drive over it a lot easier than a straight up berm. The cape cod style berm or curbing we can feel will hold up longer in the snowy New England winters. When installing an asphalt berm or curb on a new parking lot it should be installed after the binder course is installed. After the berm is installed the finish course is then paved, locking the berm into the pavement and making it harder for it to be pushed off the parking lot. If the berm is installed after the parking lot is paved it is just sitting on top of the asphalt and is easily just pushed off the pavement by vehicles.

Asphalt curbing is not like concrete or granite curbing, and it does not have a base foundation supporting it. Whether the asphalt berm is being install on a new parking lot or replacing some broken pieces, it needs to have some support behind it to help keep it in place. The area behind the berm should be back filled and compacted with dirt or stone. This will help prevent it from being pushed off the edge of the parking lot. Back filling behind concrete or granite curbing is also a very good idea. When choosing the type of curbing for your parking lot it is important to decide what type fits your budget and conditions best. It is also very important to make sure it is installed and supported properly.In New England there are basically two types of asphalt curbing or berm. The traditional berm is a 6” to 8” high straight up berm which is called the loaf. It looks like a loaf of bread. If a snow plow or vehicle hits this type of berm it can become damaged very easily.It may become cracked, pieces broken off or just pushed right off the parking lot.

Granite and concrete curbs are ideal for parking lots and roadways. They are much stronger than asphalt berms, but they are also much more expensive. Wherever your budget can afford , we would recommend installing granite or concrete curbing. If the budget does not allow it to be installed in the entire area at least install concrete or granite in areas that will be hit or run over frequently by trucks, cars and snow plows.

The curb is rounded but does not dip for driveways, forming a noticeable bump when leaving the public street. He went on to say, “Cape Cod-style berm/curbs are being installed wherever feasible in town as a means to protect adjacent properties from stormwater runoff and plow damage, protect the roadway from degradation over years from driveway seams, and provide a better product to the community.” Colson added, “The berm protects the edge of the road from deteriorating and keeps the loam and seed neatly in people’s front yards. It protects the driveways and tree belt from snow plowing.”

According to the mayor, the town has invested nearly $1.5 million into Ohio Avenue. The funding has been used to replace the water line and reconstruction of the sewer, following the gas company’s replacement of the natural gas line along the roadway, and is expected to be finished this month.According to New England Sealcoating, “The Cape Cod asphalt berm style is becoming more popular for curbing.

When the final course of asphalt is put down, the difference in elevation will be much less, while still functioning as a stormwater gutter and street curb.”“Starting off, the paving on Ohio Avenue is far from finished,” Reichelt said. “A top coat still needs to be applied to the road, then the driveways will be blended into the Cape Cod-style berm.” All of the paving is set to be finished during this construction season.Town Engineer Connor Knightly echoed Reichelt’s points, and said the berms are permanent structures and will not be removed until the next time the street needs to be repaved.
