We Answer Your Frequently Asked Questions

The condition of your parking lot or driveway sends a message to customers. A well-paved, crack- and pothole-free driving surface says you’re concerned about appearances. It also says you're thinking about customer safety, and that you want to protect their vehicle from damage when they visit your business.

Black Diamond offers the highest quality of work and the best customer service in the greater Spokane area. Our equipment is state of the art, plus we are staffed by experienced and well-trained asphalt pavement crews. 

With a properly installed asphalt surface, using good product, customers can expect the asphalt surface to last 20 or more years. With proper maintenance, many projects can last 30+ years.

All our work is covered for 12 months if the failure is cause by incorrect preparation and application on our part.

On some occasions, it is possible to apply a new layer of asphalt over an old layer. A qualified asphalt paving professional will need to inspect the site to make that determination. Unfortunately, overlays are often done on pavement surfaces that should be repaired or replaced entirely. Black Diamond Asphalt Paving will only overlay when we are sure that option the best choice for the integrity and durability of the surface.

One crew prepares the base to make sure the sub-grade drains properly, plus is built to the required specifications to support the anticipated load bearing needs. A second crew arrives with the paving equipment and product. Asphalt is placed in one, two, or 3 layers, depending on the required specifications.

Old asphalt is returned to local asphalt plants for recycling. At one time, old asphalt was used primarily to build temporary roadways in landfill sites. Now, all recycled asphalt and “crushed reclaim” is a valuable product. Municipal projects all require a percentage of recycled asphalt in the product. The addition of reclaimed asphalt to custom mixes has been found to improve asphalt mixes, extending longevity, and enhancing performance.
