Full-Depth Asphalt Replacement Services in New Jersey
When pavement sustains serious damage, you need a rigorous process to restore it to full functionality. Full-depth reclamation is an effective way to recover a damaged foundation while reducing operational and material costs. American Asphalt offers reclamation services to customers throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. With over 120 years of experience serving our area, you can rely on us to get the job done right.
What Is
Full-Depth Replacement?
When surface deficiencies are left uncorrected, full-depth repairs may be required. Pavement damage can sink deep enough to affect the base course in some cases. With deep cracks or severe heaving, simple surface course repairs may not be sufficient to restore your pavement’s integrity.
Full-depth reclamation delivers a more complete repair than is possible with surface treatments. This process involves removing the entire driveway or parking lot, down to its subgrade. The existing material is removed using various methods, including milling machines and excavators. The existing subgrade is fine-graded and compacted. Soft spots may be excavated and replaced with suitable materials meeting compaction standards. Base course asphalt is installed and finished with a smooth surface course.
These features make full-depth a long-term solution to severely damaged pavement. Meanwhile, your parking lot has a structurally strong foundation that will stand up to years of use.
Our Full-Depth
Paving Process
When customers trust American Asphalt with their asphalt reclamation, we approach their project with a high level of professionalism and precision. Each job follows the same rigorous process, with care taken at every step to ensure the best possible results:
- Inspection, we take a core sample to inspect the material and determine the depth of the existing asphalt. This includes the subgrade materials as well.
- Removal: Using specialized equipment, we remove the existing pavement down to the subgrade.
- Stabilization: Existing subgrades are evaluated, graded, compacted, and proof-rolled using a loaded triaxle to ensure stability.
- Application: Base course asphalt is installed and compacted.
- Resurfacing: After the base course is installed, a tack coat is applied and surface paving begins, ensuring a smooth finished surface at proper grades.
- Finishing: Finally, we prepare your driveway, parking lot, or other pavement surface for use with new line striping and road markings using a variety of products.
Safety is our priority at every stage of this process. We hold to rigorous safety protocols, and all our employees go through ongoing training. We also maintain a hardworking quality assurance team to ensure that every finished project meets our standards of excellence, allowing us to promise our customers the durable and attractive product they expect.
Frequently Asked Questions About Full-Depth Reclamation

Is full-depth paving environmentally friendly?
Full-depth removes existing asphalt layers. This material is reclaimed and recycled into future hot asphalt mixtures and subgrade materials.
How durable is a road after full-depth reclamation?
Full-depth removal and replacement are often superior to previously existing conditions. The process ensures subgrades are suitable and compacted, a strong even base course is intact, and a uniform, well-draining surface course is present.
The newly installed asphalt can last 20 years or more with proper maintenance, depending on traffic load and weather.
What kind of maintenance is required after full-depth reclamation?
Standard maintenance such as sealcoating and crack sealing should be performed as needed.
