"We love the looks of it…haven’t driven on it yet.  We hate to get it dirty😆.

All the workers were so pleasant and friendly.  Everyone was so respectful of our property and our neighbors’.  They did a great clean up job also. Very good experience.  I did videos because my son and grandson are diesel mechanics and anything involving big equipment interests them.  

Thank you for the excellent work and your promptness in keeping in touch with us throughout the whole process."


— Nancy and Lawrence Malone

"We were so pleased with the wonderful workmanship of the whole crew-- and had a fun time remembering with the 'foreman' that when the crew was here in 2011 to do the initial paving of our driveway, that was the day there was an earthquake in Virginia that was felt out here! 😉

THANKS so much for helping coordinate things!! The new sections for 'pull-off parking' are just wonderful!"

One of the most common ways of repairing asphalt pavements is to use asphalt patching. It’s a quick and easy method of repairing any asphalt surface, particularly if it’s been damaged by vandals. However, as with all repair work, asphalt patching can leave behind potentially compromising marks that can be hard to remove. That’s why it’s especially important to apply the right type of material, and to use the right tools, to ensure the greatest success.

Before you can patch your asphalt, it must be thoroughly cleaned. This means getting out all the grit and grime that can be seen on the surface. If possible, you should choose a high-pressure water jetting system to wash the asphalt down. If you’re not in a position to do this yourself, call in a reputable company. They’ll likely require a large area of land to work on, so make sure yours is big enough. The cost of this service will depend on the size of the repair job and the frequency of use.

Once your asphalt has been washed down, then you can begin patching. The first tool you will need when doing this is a sharp blade. You should use something that will cut through the asphalt without too much difficulty. Asphalt patching can be quite messy, so you want to make sure you are wearing suitable footwear when working on the asphalt. The safest choice might be to wear work boots.

Another tool you will want to have handy is a paint sprayer. This is especially handy if you don’t want to damage or crack in the asphalt that you are patching. A paint sprayer is also useful in making sure you use the right material. If you have a piece of metal fencing that is exposed to the elements, you can use the sprayer to apply the paint.

After you have everything you need, you will want to start your job. One way to make sure the asphalt patch you are applying is the correct shape is to lay it out on the ground and look at it from different angles. You can also use a spirit level to ensure the height and distance between the asphalt patch and the surrounding area is correct. When you are happy with the height and distance, apply the asphalt. When the asphalt is dry, you can begin working on the next section of asphalt.

There are many ways that you can complete these tasks, but the most commonly used method involves using heavy-duty sponges that are driven onto the asphalt. The sponges will then roll off to the side as the area of the asphalt to be patched is being patched. Make sure you wear suitable safety equipment when doing this.

Once the material has been patched, you will need to cover up the area that was not patched. One way to do this is to use pavement paint. Pavement paint can provide a durable, long-lasting covering for small areas of sidewalk or driveway. If you have a lot of extra space, you can use a large sheet of asphalt that is left unadorned. Just make sure to use caution in order not to damage your sidewalks and driveways.

Asphalt patching can be a big job. It can also be a messy process, especially if there are several layers to patch. If you are going to hire someone to patch your driveway, it is important that they know how to properly patch an asphalt surface. This can make the job go much more smoothly.

Before hiring a contractor to do asphalt patching for you, make sure he or she has the proper equipment. Some of the most important tools he or she will need to include: a spade, steel wool and an angle grinder. A spade will be used to dig up the affected area, followed by steel wool to remove the ground material. After the material has been removed, the spade is used to pave the newly patched area. A grinder is used to smooth out the rough edges between the different layers of asphalt. Most importantly, the crew will need an angle grinder to ensure a neat, even finish.

Before hiring someone to do asphalt patching for you, make sure he or she is licensed and that he or she uses the proper materials and techniques. Ask for before and after photos of previous jobs that he or she has done. You can even ask for references so you can check out the work history of the contractor. You can also ask neighbors and friends and family members who have had the same job done before.

There are many things to consider when hiring contractors for asphalt patching. First and foremost, make sure you get the right person. Don’t choose your friend just because he or she is nearby or has good references. Also, you want someone who will be honest and punctual so there will be no problem if something gets done on time. Finally, choose a contractor who offers a reasonable price for quality work.

Asphalt Patching in Mt. Lebanon, PA

About Mt. Lebanon, PA

Mount Lebanon (Arabic: جَبَل لُبْنَان, jabal lubnān, Lebanese Arabic pronunciation: [ˈʒabal lɪbˈneːn]; Syriac: ܛܘܪ ܠܒ݂ܢܢ, ṭūr leḇnān, Western Syriac pronunciation: [tˤur lewˈnɔn], ṭūr lewnōn French: Mont Liban) is a mountain range in Lebanon. It averages above 2,500 m (8,200 ft) in elevation, with its peak at 3,088 m (10,131 ft).

The Mount Lebanon range extends along the entire country for about 170 km (110 mi), parallel to the Mediterranean coast. Their highest peak is Qurnat as Sawda', at 3,088 m (10,131 ft). The range receives a substantial amount of precipitation, including snow, which averages around 4 m (13 ft) deep.

Lebanon has historically been defined by the mountains, which provided protection for the local population. In Lebanon, changes in scenery are related less to geographical distances than to altitudes. The mountains were known for their oak and pine forests. The last remaining old growth groves of the famous Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani var. libanii) are on the high slopes of Mount Lebanon, in the Cedars of God World Heritage Site.

The Phoenicians used the forests from Mount Lebanon to build their ship fleet and to trade with their neighbors. The Phoenicians and successor rulers consistently replanted and restocked the range; even as late as the 16th century, its forested area was considerable.

The name Mount Lebanon traces back to the Semitic root LBN, meaning "white", likely a reference to the snow-covered mountains.

Mount Lebanon is mentioned in the Old Testament numerous times. King Hiram I of Tyre sent engineers with cedar wood which was abundant in Mount Lebanon, to build the Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. Since then the cedar species known scientifically as Cedrus libani is often associated with Mount Lebanon. The Phoenicians used cedar to build ships in which they sailed the Mediterranean, thus they were the first to establish villages in Mount Lebanon and would live from cutting down Cedars and sending them to the coast.

Eusebius records that the Emperor Constantine destroyed a temple of Venus 'on the summit of Mount Lebanon.'
After the 5th century AD, Christian monks who were followers of a hermit named Maron, arrived from the Orontes valley in Northern Syria and began preaching their religion to the inhabitants of the northernmost parts of the mountain range. In the late 8th century a group known as the Mardaites (also Jarajima) settled in North Lebanon following the order of the Byzantine Emperor; their mission was to raid Islamic territories in Syria. They merged with the local population, refusing to leave after the emperor struck a deal with the Muslim Caliph of Damascus; thus, they became part of the Maronite society. In 1291 after the fall of Acre, the last crusader outpost in the Levant, the remnants of the European settlers who succeeded in escaping capture by the Mamelukes, settled in the Northern part of Lebanon and become part of the Maronite society.

Mount Lebanon was visited and called home by many Muslim ascetics and Sufis since the 7th century, mentioned by many travelers to the region, few of which are known by name such as Shiban al-Muallah and Abbas al-Majnun. In the 10th century, Twelver Shia Muslim communities were likely established in Keserwan and the adjacent area to the north when Shia Islam was in the ascendant in Tripoli and the Islamic world at large. In the 13th century, a significant Shia population dominated Keserwan stretching out as far north as Dinniyeh, where reportedly the Shia feudal lord family, the Hamadas, were entrusted with tax-collecting in 1470. Subject to harsh military campaigns and state policies put-forth by the Mamluks and Ottomans over the centuries, this Shia population decreased over time and was driven to settle in Southern Lebanon and the Bekaa valley, becoming a small minority in Mount Lebanon by the 19th century.

In the 9th century, tribes from the "Jabal el Summaq" area north of Aleppo in Syria began settling the southern half of the mountain range. These tribes were known as the Tanoukhiyoun and in the 11th century they converted to the Druze faith and ruled the areas of Mount Lebanon stretching from Metn in the north to Jezzine in the south. This entire area became known as the 'Jabal ad-Duruz'. In the early 17th century, Emir Fakhr-al-Din II was entrusted as the main tax-collector and land-assigner in the Druze part of the mountains known as the Chouf. In an effort to re-populate the Chouf after the 1585 Ottoman expedition, Fakhreddine opened the door to Christians and in particular the Maronite settlement of the Chouf and Metn.

Throughout the 18th century and into the 19th century more and more Maronites settled in the Druze regions of the Mount. The Druze viewed these Maronite settlements as a threat to their power in Mount Lebanon and in a series of clashes in the 1840s and 1860s, a miniature civil war erupted in the area resulting in the massacre of thousands of Christians. The Druze won militarily, but not politically, because European powers (mainly France and Britain) intervened on behalf of the Maronites and divided Mount Lebanon into two areas; Druze and Maronite. Seeing their authority decline in Mount Lebanon, a few Lebanese Druze began migrating to the new Jabal ad-Duruz in southern Syria. In 1861, the "Mount Lebanon" autonomous district was established within the Ottoman system, under an international guarantee.

For centuries, the Maronites of the region have been protected by the noble Khazen family, which was endowed the responsibility by Pope Clement X and King Louis XIV and given Cheikh status in return for guarding the princes Fakhr-al-Din II and Younès al-Maani. The Khazen crest reflects the family's special closeness to Mount Lebanon, with snowy mountains and a cedar tree depicted.

Mount Lebanon also lent its name to two political designations: an semi-autonomous province in Ottoman Syria that was established in 1861 and the central Governorate of modern Lebanon (see Mount Lebanon Governorate). The Mount Lebanon administrative region emerged in a time of rise of nationalism after the civil war of 1860. France intervened on behalf of the local Christian population and Britain on behalf of the Druze after the 1860 massacres in which 10,000 Christians were killed in clashes with the Druze. In 1861, the "Mount Lebanon" autonomous district was established within the Ottoman system, under an international guarantee. The Maronite Catholics and the Druze founded modern Lebanon in the early eighteenth century, through the ruling and social system known as the "Maronite-Druze dualism" in Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate.

For decades, the Christians pressured the European powers to award them self determination by extending their small Lebanese territory to what they dubbed "Greater Lebanon", referring to a geographic unit comprising Mount Lebanon and its coast, and the Beqaa Valley to its east. After the First World War, France took hold of the formerly Ottoman holdings in the northern Levant, and expanded the borders of Mount Lebanon in 1920 to form Greater Lebanon, which was to be populated by remnants of the Middle Eastern Christian community. The Christians ended up gaining territorially, but the new borders merely ended the demographic dominance of Christians in the newly-created territory of Lebanon.
