All Services
Scope of Work
What's Included
New Asphalt Installation
Full-depth asphalt construction for new parking lots, driveways, access roads, and commercial pads — from subgrade preparation through finished surface.
Asphalt Overlays
Structural overlays that add a new wearing course over existing pavement, restoring rideability and extending service life without full reconstruction.
Milling & Resurfacing
Cold milling removes the deteriorated surface layer to a precise depth so a new asphalt lift can be placed — improving smoothness and drainage without raising grade.
Asphalt Patching & Repair
Saw-cut and remove repairs for potholes, utility cuts, and localized failures — restoring structural integrity with a permanent patch, not a temporary fix.
Parking Lot Paving
Complete parking lot construction and replacement for retail, commercial, industrial, and HOA properties across the Phoenix metro area and Maricopa County.
Drainage & Grading
Proper subgrade preparation, compaction, and drainage design ensure water sheds away from your asphalt and does not accelerate base failure.
Our Process
How We Work
01
Site Evaluation & Mix Design
We assess traffic loads, subgrade conditions, and drainage requirements to specify the correct asphalt thickness and mix design for your project.
02
Subgrade & Base Preparation
Excavation, grading, aggregate base placement, and compaction testing ensure a stable foundation before any asphalt is placed.
03
Asphalt Paving Operations
Hot-mix asphalt is placed and compacted in lifts using calibrated pavers and steel drum rollers, achieving specified density and smooth finished grade.
04
Compaction Testing & Striping
In-place density testing confirms compaction meets spec, followed by pavement marking and any final grading or cleanup.

Modern Paving Fleet
Late-model pavers, pneumatic rollers, and steel drum compactors deliver consistent mat quality and smooth finished surfaces on every project.
Compaction Quality Assurance
Nuclear density testing and core sampling verify that every lift meets ADOT or project specifications — not just visual inspection.

Asphalt Paving In Arizona
Struggling with Failing Asphalt that Needs a Real Fix?
Potholes, crumbling edges, and sunken surfaces are more than eyesores — they’re liabilities. Arizona’s heat accelerates asphalt deterioration faster than most property owners expect. When you partner with S&S Paving & Construction, you get a permanent fix, not a patch job. Tell us if you’re also dealing with:
- Potholes and alligator cracking spreading across your parking lot
- Asphalt rutting and shoving in high-traffic areas during summer heat
- Standing water collecting on your lot due to poor drainage or grade
- Asphalt edges crumbling at curbs, drains, or lot boundaries
- Previous patch repairs failing within months of installation

Frequently Asked Questions
For a standard commercial parking lot in Phoenix, we typically specify 3 inches of compacted hot-mix asphalt over 4–6 inches of compacted aggregate base. Heavier-use lots with truck traffic may require 4–5 inches of asphalt and a thicker base. The correct thickness is determined by traffic loads, subgrade conditions, and the results of a geotechnical investigation.
Arizona’s extreme surface temperatures — often exceeding 160°F in summer — soften asphalt binders and cause rutting under heavy loads. UV oxidation also hardens and embrittles the surface over time, leading to cracking and raveling. Using the correct high-temperature mix design and maintaining the surface with seal coating significantly extends pavement life.
An overlay adds a new asphalt layer over existing pavement and is appropriate when the base is still structurally sound but the surface has deteriorated. Full replacement is required when base failure, alligator cracking, or severe drainage issues are present. We perform a structural assessment before recommending either option so you only pay for what your pavement actually needs.
A properly designed, constructed, and maintained asphalt parking lot in Phoenix typically lasts 20–25 years. Regular seal coating every 2–3 years and prompt crack repair significantly extend that lifespan. Deferred maintenance is the single biggest factor in premature pavement failure across the Phoenix metro area.
Yes. We perform saw-cut and remove patching for isolated pothole repairs, utility cuts, and localized failures. When damage is limited to specific areas, patching is a cost-effective solution. However, if alligator cracking covers more than 30–40% of the surface, full replacement or an overlay is often more economical in the long run.
Yes. Cold milling removes the top 1.5–3 inches of deteriorated asphalt to a precise depth before new pavement is placed. Milling restores surface smoothness, maintains existing grades, and allows the new surface to be installed without raising curbs or drainage structures — a critical advantage on most commercial projects.
New asphalt can typically receive light vehicle traffic within 24–48 hours of placement. However, we recommend avoiding heavy trucks, sharp steering maneuvers, and point loads from jacks or kickstands for at least 72 hours. Full curing and hardening takes 6–12 months, so avoiding heavy equipment is important during that period.
