Services
New Asphalt Pavement
We install new asphalt pavements for driveways, parking lots, and roadways using high-quality materials and precise grading techniques. Our process ensures proper drainage and durability, tailored to withstand Missouri's climate. Clients benefit from long-lasting surfaces that enhance property value and safety.
Asphalt Overlay
Overlay services restore aging asphalt by applying a new layer over existing surfaces. We address drainage issues through cold milling to maintain proper grades, extending pavement life while minimizing disruption. This cost-effective solution improves appearance and performance for commercial and municipal clients.
Sealcoating
Our sealcoating protects asphalt from UV damage, water infiltration, and wear. Applying emulsion sealers every 2-4 years preserves surface integrity and delays costly repairs. This service is ideal for property managers seeking to maintain aesthetics and functionality in high-traffic areas.
Crack Sealing
Crack sealing prevents water damage by filling pavement cracks with melted asphalt. We recommend annual inspections to identify and address issues early, avoiding base erosion and potholes. This proactive approach safeguards infrastructure investments for residential and commercial clients.
Cold Milling
Cold milling removes damaged asphalt layers to prepare surfaces for overlays. This technique corrects drainage problems and ensures smooth transitions at curbs or sidewalks. Clients receive precision grading that enhances pavement longevity while reducing environmental impact through material reuse.
Questions
What services does Higgins Asphalt offer?
We provide new asphalt paving, overlays, sealcoating, crack sealing, cold milling, and pavement markings for residential, commercial, and municipal clients.
Why choose asphalt over concrete?
Asphalt is cost-effective, recyclable, and easier to repair. It withstands Missouri's climate better than concrete and offers superior drainage when properly maintained.
How often should I sealcoat my asphalt?
Sealcoating every 2-4 years, depending on traffic, maintains surface integrity and prevents water damage, extending pavement lifespan.
Do you handle municipal projects?
Yes, we work with cities and government agencies on roadways, parking lots, and infrastructure projects using sustainable practices.
What causes asphalt to crack?
Cracking results from water infiltration, freeze-thaw cycles, and base instability. Regular maintenance like crack sealing prevents escalation into costly repairs.
Can damaged asphalt be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes, localized damage can often be fixed with patching or milling. We assess each site to determine the most cost-effective solution.
