Stone Base Installation for Commercial Properties

Why Is A Proper Stone Base Essential To Developing A Good Foundation For Commercial Properties?

Stone base installation is a crucial first step in ensuring the durability and longevity of any commercial paving project. The stone base provides a solid foundation that supports the asphalt or concrete surface, preventing future cracking, shifting, or damage caused by heavy loads or weather conditions. At C.M. Ayres, we specialize in installing high-quality stone bases that provide the stability your commercial property needs for parking lots, driveways, roads, and other paved areas.

6 Ways We Provide Professional Asphalt Maintenance

1.

Initial Site Assessment
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your commercial property to determine the specific needs of the project. This includes assessing soil conditions, drainage requirements, and load-bearing capabilities.

2.

Excavation and Site Preparation
Our team will carefully remove any existing surface materials and clear the area to prepare for the stone base. This step ensures that we have a clean, level area to work with.

3.

Grading and Leveling
The subgrade is then graded and leveled to create an even surface. Proper grading helps ensure proper drainage and prevents pooling water, which can compromise the stone base’s integrity.

4.

Stone Delivery and Placement
After preparing the site, we deliver and place high-quality crushed stone to create the base. The stone is distributed evenly to achieve the required depth and compaction.

5.

Compaction and Layering
The stone is compacted in multiple layers to ensure stability and prevent future settling. Each layer is compacted thoroughly before the next is added, ensuring optimal support for the top paving layer.

6.

Final Inspection and Adjustment
Once the stone base is installed, our team performs a final inspection to ensure proper compaction, levelness, and drainage. Any necessary adjustments are made before proceeding with the top paving layer.

6 Signs You NEED Stone Base Installation for Your Commercial Property

  • Frequent Potholes or Cracks
    If your paved surface is showing signs of potholes or cracks, it may indicate that the underlying stone base is unstable or compromised. Installing a new stone base can help address this issue and prevent further damage.
  • Poor Drainage
    Standing water or poor drainage on your commercial property is often a result of an inadequate stone base. A proper installation can improve water flow and prevent future flooding.
  • Uneven Surface
    An uneven or bumpy parking lot or driveway can be a sign that the stone base has settled unevenly. Installing a new stone base can help level the surface and restore proper stability.
  • Heavy Traffic Load
    If your commercial property experiences heavy traffic or large vehicles, your existing stone base may not be able to support the load. A reinforced stone base can help prevent surface damage under pressure.
  • Shifting Pavement
    Shifting or moving pavement is a clear indicator that the stone base underneath is unstable. Installing a new stone base ensures the pavement stays in place and prevents future displacement.
  • New Construction or Expansion
    When building a new commercial property or expanding your current space, proper stone base installation is critical to ensure the long-term durability of your new paved areas.
