That’s where we came in.
At Asphalt Care Inc., we’ve helped countless property managers and commercial owners across Indiana keep their lots and lanes safe, durable, and attractive.
For Colony Bay, the issue was clear: a full-depth milling and repaving was the only way to restore long-term function and appearance.
Full-Depth Milling for a Full-On Problem
Colony Bay’s aging asphalt had reached a point where surface patching just wouldn’t cut it. The deterioration wasn’t just cosmetic—it ran deep. Potholes, cracks, and uneven surfaces were starting to compromise the drive lanes used daily by tenants, guests, and service vehicles.
We recommended a complete milling process, removing the full depth of the damaged asphalt. This approach ensures that we’re not just putting a fresh layer over a failing base, but rebuilding the surface from the ground up.
By fully milling out the affected drive lanes, we eliminated structural weaknesses and created a solid foundation for the new pavement.
Binder and Surface for Long-Term Strength
Once we had a clean, stable base, we installed new hot mix asphalt (HMA) in two layers:
- a binder course
- a surface course
This combination is the key to building a road that can handle everyday wear and tear, especially in a state like Indiana where the freeze-thaw cycle can wreak havoc on weak asphalt.
The binder provides a strong, flexible base, while the surface course offers the smooth finish and durability that tenants notice and appreciate.
By the time we wrapped up, the drive lanes at Colony Bay Apartments weren’t just repaired—they were rebuilt for years of reliable use.
