A Plus Asphalt & Concrete provides commercial and residential concrete; asphalt paving, repair, and maintenance; and excavation services to the Austin, TX, metro area.
They went above and beyond to get our driveway repaired. We had a large live oak that was removed a couple of years ago but the enormous root system was still in place and they dug it all up to prevent future issues. I just knew that would add to our estimate but it didn't! They were friendly and responsive. Thank you so much!

Frequently Asked Questions About A Plus Asphalt & Concrete
Will I have to close my business during a project?
This can generally be avoided. We will work with you to make sure your clients and customers can still access your building. A large project can be completed in phases to allow this to happen.
Can work be scheduled on the weekend?
We will try our best to accommodate our customers’ needs. We complete projects around a business’ schedule to cause the least amount of disruption; this includes working during the weekend and/or nights.
Will you barricade my parking lot?
We will set up barricades and traffic cones to block off traffic to areas being worked.
What is the difference between asphalt resurfacing and seal coating?
The key difference is that resurfacing/ rehabilitation is a structural repair that will extend the useful life of your asphalt surface. Resurfacing involves the patching (if necessary) and resurfacing of the entire driveway with a new overlay of 1 ½” to 3″ of hot bituminous asphalt. Seal coating is not a structural repair and may be likened to painting your house. The seal coat protects and extends the life of your asphalt, but does not correct structural flaws. Seal coating, accordingly, is substantially less expensive than resurfacing your drive.
How soon can I drive on new asphalt pavement?
While asphalt surfaces typically take 30 days to fully cure, it can typically be driven on almost immediately. Care should be taken though to prevent tire damage (caused by turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is stationary) during this initial period.
What are the pros and cons of using asphalt versus concrete?
Asphalt looks sharper and is easier to see the lines on the road. It is also flexible and can flex with use.
Concrete costs a lot more to install but is more low-maintenance than asphalt. It relies on its strength to loads and weaknesses in its base.
However, care should be taken to prevent power steering marks (caused by turning steering wheel while vehicle is stationary) during this initial period.
Why should I seal coat my parking lot?
Besides improving the look of your asphalt pavement, a seal coat also protects the asphalt from the harmful effects of weather, water, oil, and gas which can prematurely lead to the failure of your asphalt parking lot.
How often should I seal coat my parking lot?
Your parking lot should be seal-coated every 36 months at a minimum. Heavy traffic and element exposure may require your parking lot to be seal-coated sooner.
Will a seal coat make my parking lot slippery?
A Plus Asphalt and Concrete uses a sand-slurry blend that will not make your parking lot slippery.
How many coats of seal coat should be applied?
We apply two coats of seal coat to all asphalt surfaces. This helps ensure the seal coat will last longer and protect your parking lot.
Will seal coat cover oil stains?
Seal coat will not properly adhere to oil stained surfaces without first treating the oil stained area. We apply oil spot primer to all oil stained areas of a parking lot prior to seal coating.
Can seal coat be applied in any type of weather?
No. Seal coat should be applied when temperatures are at least 50 degrees and rising. Care should also be taken to avoid rain during or shortly after seal coat is applied. Generally, three hours is long enough for the seal coat to set and adequately prevent washing out the seal coat.
Will my concrete slab crack?
While all concrete has the potential to crack, we do take measures to prevent excessive cracking. This includes proper rebar reinforcement, compaction of sub-grade, and proper use of control and expansion joints.
How soon can my new concrete be used?
Weather dictates this to some extent. In warm and hot weather concrete can safely be used for pedestrian within 24 hours. Vehicular traffic should be avoided for a period of 4 to 7 days.
What exactly is concrete?
In simplistic terms, concrete is a mixture of Portland cement, a fine aggregate (sand), a course aggregate (gravel), water and several chemical additives. When water mixes with the cement, a process known as ‘hydration’ takes place that binds the whole mixture together.
What kind of sub-base should I have?
All topsoil must be removed. Then a granular sub-base should be installed and compacted to uniform thickness. Proper sloping should be used to allow adequate water drainage.
Will I have to close my business during a project?
This can generally be avoided. We will work with you to make sure your clients and customers can still access your building. A large project can be completed in phases to allow this to happen.

Yes, we set up barricades and traffic cones to block off areas being worked on to ensure safety and manage traffic flow.
What is the difference between asphalt resurfacing and seal coating?
Resurfacing is a structural repair involving patching and applying a new asphalt overlay, extending pavement life. Seal coating protects the asphalt surface but doesn't fix structural issues and is less expensive.

Asphalt can typically be driven on almost immediately, but full curing takes about 30 days. Avoid tire damage by minimizing stationary turning during the initial period.
