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.
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.
