I am looking to having the road to my house repaved. The current asphalt road is showing some "rutting" and other cracking. Its not huge but I thought it best to repave before it gets so bad that it needs to be replaced.
The contractor I have talked with has recommended putting down petrotac and petromat first and then topping with 1.5 inches of new blacktop.
Has anyone had experience with the petromat and petrotac products? My current road was paved with an inadequate base. Amoco, the manufacturer of the Petrotac and Petromat products claims these products will make up for not having an adequate base by making the existing road the new base. The Petromat and Petrotac products will spread the weight on the road and keep water from penetrating.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
