Asphalt Paving Guidelines
Thickness Recommendations
- • Pedestrian walkways: 2 inches (5 cm)
- • Residential driveways: 2-3 inches (5-8 cm)
- • Commercial parking: 3-4 inches (8-10 cm)
- • Roads and heavy traffic: 4-6 inches (10-15 cm)
- • Industrial areas: 6+ inches (15+ cm)
Planning Considerations
- • Base preparation is critical for longevity
- • Weather conditions affect installation quality
- • Proper drainage prevents water damage
- • Regular maintenance extends asphalt life
- • Local building codes may specify requirements
