PAVING ON THE FARM
POINTS TO CONSIDER
A homeowner or farmer should
seek expert advice before making
the final decision to have any
paved surface installed. Professor
3. Pos, School of Ell gineerth:.1:,
I,Tniversity of Guelph, outlines
some of the main points to Con-
sider.
First, • consider the cost, espec-
ially if the area to he. covered is
large, Compare the cost of asphalt
and concrete, taking the trucking
distance from the plant into con_
sid eration.
Drainage is most important.
Crushed stone under the paved
surface will provide proper under,
drainage so water will not collect
beneath the surface and cause
frost boils or heaves in the
winter. "A good subbase is
essentiaV says Professor Pos.

to a. depth of about,. six inches,
then apply a. crushed stone base.
On top of this base, a well-coin_
patted asphalt to a depth of 2,i/2 •,to
3 . inches is required."
Another imporant point to con_
eider is the use of a total-kill
herbicide to discourage „any liege_
tation growth beneath the paved
surface. Vegetation can some-
times lodge in the control cracks
Of concrete pavement, but in as_
phalt, dandelions, fungus, or
other plants ten grow up right
through the surface, soiling the,
appearance.
Concrete should be cast in
sections so that cracking will take
place 21-ne controlled joints.
Place rin expansion joint every 1.5
to 20 feet.
Ceacks are less common in
asphalt However, the surface
doee Move, around and heave. A
attire! ntial base with tt finish
ef finer material can combat
this, tinfortunntelY, this, entails,
a twoetoat operation and often
'he finish ooat is not applied.
rgost paving contractors use a
iftilitY mix whieh combines the
base and finish coat. Generally,
after a year or two, the hienae-
Menet must apply a seal coat of
liquid asphalt or asphalt spray.
If possible, hire t't: contractor
who uses a one-ton "VibtaePack"
roller. This alenost gunranteee
