Commercial Asphalt Repair That Solves the Problem — Not Just the Surface
With Florida’s intense heat, frequent rain events, and heavy commercial traffic, parking lots and paved surfaces across Stuart, FL and the Treasure Coast face constant stress. Cracks widen. Bases weaken. Small problems become expensive ones when they’re ignored or patched incorrectly. Commercial properties throughout the region turn to Asphalt Care Services LLC when asphalt repair actually needs to work — not just look fixed for a few months.
We are a commercial-only asphalt contractor with more than 40 years of field experience diagnosing and correcting pavement failures of all types. We identify what’s actually causing the deterioration — not just what’s visible on the surface — and we repair it properly the first time. That approach is what keeps our clients from calling us back with the same problem six months later.
Common Asphalt Problems We Repair
- Alligator Cracking — Interconnected cracking across a surface area, indicating base or structural failure beneath the asphalt. Surface patching alone won’t fix this — the underlying cause must be addressed.
- Edge Cracking and Deterioration — Breakdown along pavement edges and borders caused by water infiltration and loss of base support.
- Rutting and Depressions — Surface deformations caused by subbase weakness or insufficient asphalt compaction during original installation.
- Surface Raveling — Loss of aggregate from the asphalt surface due to oxidation, poor mix quality, or inadequate installation — leaving a rough, porous surface.
- Longitudinal and Transverse Cracking — Linear cracks running with or across the pavement direction, often caused by thermal movement, load stress, or joint failure.
- Failed Patching — Previously repaired areas that have failed, lifted, or deteriorated — requiring proper removal and re-installation with correct preparation.
Our Solution — Repair That Addresses the Root Cause
- Damage Assessment — We evaluate not just the visible damage but the underlying cause. Is it a base issue? Poor drainage? Thermal movement? The repair approach depends on the actual problem.
- Saw Cutting — Failed areas are saw cut to clean, defined edges. This is non-negotiable — proper saw cut lines are what allow a repair to bond correctly and not re-fail at the edges.
- Removal — Failed asphalt is removed to the appropriate depth. If base failure is present, the subbase is excavated and corrected before new asphalt is installed.
- Base Correction (When Required) — Soft or compromised base material is removed and replaced with properly compacted aggregate base before repaving.
- Hot-Mix Asphalt Installation — New asphalt is installed at the correct depth, compacted properly, and finished flush with the surrounding pavement.
- Final Inspection — We verify that edges are sealed, compaction is correct, and the repair area is level and draining properly before we leave.
What Makes Repairs Last
- Saw Cutting — Never Jackhammering Alone — Clean, straight edges from saw cutting allow proper compaction and bonding at repair margins. Jagged or irregular edges fail faster and look it.
- Addressing the Subbase — Surface repairs over a failed or soft base will fail again. We never skip the subbase evaluation and correction step when it’s needed.
- Hot-Mix Asphalt — Not Cold Patch — We use hot-mix asphalt for all structural repairs. It compacts properly, bonds well, and performs under commercial traffic loads the way cold patch never does.
- Tack Coat Application — Tack coat applied to the repair cavity walls promotes adhesion between old and new asphalt — a step that separates repairs that hold from ones that don’t.
