Alligator Cracking in Millbrook NY Asphalt Lots: What It Says About the Base
Avello's take
This item looks at the alligator-skin crack pattern in asphalt lots in Millbrook and what it can say about the base beneath the pavement. The focus is not just how the surface looks. It is also how much the pavement has sunk. The item describes sinking depth as a way to distinguish a cosmetic issue from a deeper structural problem. We see that distinction as the central point: the visible cracks are part of the picture, not the whole picture.
For Hudson Valley property owners, managers, boards and public works teams, that distinction matters when considering a cosmetic fix or full-depth work. We believe a sensible next step is to understand the sinking depth and what it indicates about the base before deciding which kind of repair fits the condition.
That alligator-skin crack pattern in your Millbrook lot isn't just ugly, it's a warning from the base underneath. One measurement, a sinking depth of roughly half an inch, reveals whether you're facing a cosmetic fix or a full-depth structural failure.
