About Our Asphalt Resurfacing in Fredericton

For over 37 years, Elite Landscaping Fredericton has provided homeowners and businesses with a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to full asphalt replacement. As a leading paving contractor in the region, we specialize in asphalt resurfacing that addresses surface-level deterioration, alligator cracking, and fading without the expense of a complete tear-out. Our services extend across Fredericton's key neighborhoods, from Southwood Park and Lincoln Heights to Garden Creek and Nashwaaksis. We understand that a worn driveway detracts from your property's value and safety. Our approach is to restore the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of your existing pavement, providing a durable, new-looking surface that is ready to handle years of traffic and harsh weather. Our technical process is built on precision and the use of superior materials. We exclusively use high-grade hot mix asphalt (HMA) specifically formulated for the Maritime climate. This involves a carefully calibrated mix of aggregate and polymer-modified asphalt cement (binder) that offers enhanced flexibility and resistance to cracking. In our experience, applying a new layer of asphalt at a compacted thickness of 1.5 to 2 inches is critical for long-term durability. Before we lay any new material, our process includes meticulous surface preparation, from high-pressure cleaning to the application of a uniform tack coat. This bonding agent ensures the new asphalt overlay creates a monolithic bond with the old surface, preventing slippage and premature failure. Working in Fredericton presents unique environmental challenges that our team is specifically equipped to handle. The relentless freeze-thaw cycles of a New Brunswick winter are the primary cause of asphalt fatigue and cracking. Water penetrates small fissures, freezes, expands, and breaks the pavement apart. Our asphalt resurfacing techniques directly combat this. We use mixes with a lower air void content after compaction, which minimizes water infiltration. Furthermore, the polymer-modified binders we specify maintain their flexibility in cold temperatures, reducing the brittleness that leads to thermal cracking.
