Asphalt paving is a vital part of any property whether it is residential or commercial. Whether you are planning to get a driveway for your workplace or a walkway for your home in Staten Island, you need asphalt paving. However, many opt for DIY paving. But there are common mistakes that you might make during your project.
No planning – This is the first and most common mistake that people make in this task. It is essential that you plan every step in order to achieve desired results at the end. Planning also saves lots of your time and money as you know exactly what you have to do next.
Wrong calculation of area & material – It is a blunder that many make absentmindedly. Even if you are paying lots of attention and calculating everything, there is still a chance that you may wrongly calculate the area that needs paving or the material you require for this purpose. You may purchase excess or less material. This wrong calculation can lead to mistakes as well as loss of time and money.
Sacrificing quality – Many people believe that quality does not matter when it comes to asphalt paving. But the lack of quality starts to show just after few months with cracks, potholes etc. In DIY, many make this mistake, which only results in the waste of money, efforts, time and material.
Above mentioned are the common mistakes that many people make in a DIY paving project. In addition, you might not get desired results too as you may miss the corners or do not know how to cover them. Purchasing different equipment and tools for projects is also a waste of time and capital.
