Asphalte MD
Preparation and Excavation
Did You Know That the Quality of Your Asphalt Starts beneath the Surface?
Long-lasting asphalt starts well before installation. Asphalte MD prepares and excavates your site in Longueuil and throughout the South Shore to ensure every project rests on a solid foundation, because that’s what determines everything else.
Why Preparation Is the Most Important Step
1.
A Poor Foundation Costs You Twice
No matter how well it’s laid, asphalt can’t compensate for unstable soil. Without proper excavation, water accumulates beneath the surface, the ground shifts as it freezes, and the asphalt eventually cracks or lifts. What seemed like a cost-saving measure at first turns into a complete overhaul a few years later.

What We Do to Prepare Your Site
We remove the existing soil to the necessary depth, depending on the characteristics of your site. We then install a permeable geotextile membrane that allows water to pass through while preventing the mixing of materials and the growth of organic contaminants like weeds, thereby ensuring the structure’s durability.
A layer of MG20 crushed gravel is then laid and carefully compacted according to the depth of the excavation to create a stable, well-drained base that is resistant to freeze-thaw cycles.
