How Berks County’s Documented Karst Geology Affects Amity Gardens
Berks County has its own PA Geological Survey karst-feature inventory, the same documentation standard applied to Lancaster and Chester counties — limestone bedrock underlies significant parts of the county. Southeastern and central Pennsylvania see 25-35 freeze-thaw cycles per season, and PennDOT officially defines the Freeze/Thaw Period as February 15 through April 15 in Publication 23. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands about 9%, and widens the crack — repeat that thirty times a winter and a quarter-inch crack becomes a pothole by spring.
What has to happen before converting gravel to asphalt?
The existing gravel needs to be graded and properly compacted as the new base — skipping this step is the number one reason gravel-to-asphalt conversions fail early.
Can you pave over an existing gravel driveway?
Yes, but it requires proper grading and base compaction first — we assess the existing material before quoting a conversion.
Will paving my driveway disrupt my whole week?
Not usually — most residential jobs wrap in a day or two, including base prep. Tony and Joe will walk you through the schedule before starting.
