- Coordinate with the utility contractor on backfill spec
- Saw-cut a clean perimeter 6"–12" outside the trench edge
- Verify backfill compaction or use flowable fill
- Place hot-mix in compacted lifts to full depth
- Infrared the perimeter to fuse the patch into surrounding pavement
- Compact and finish flush to surrounding grade
- Written scope with quantities, materials, and a realistic budget range you can hand to ownership, a board, or a finance director
- Pre-construction notice package with dates, affected areas, and access maps so tenants, staff, or residents are never surprised
- Post-work walkthrough with photo documentation and a punch list closed out before final invoicing
What you get

Ideal for
- Water, sewer, gas, electric, and telecom contractors

- Properties that must stay open and accessible while the work is completed
FAQ
Why does the patch keep settling?+
Almost always backfill compaction. Avello insists on flowable fill or properly tested compacted backfill before paving the surface.
Can you handle the whole restoration for our utility?+
Yes — Avello partners with utility contractors as the asphalt restoration sub on planned and emergency work.
Infrared the perimeter — why?+
Infrared fuses the new patch into the existing pavement so water can't enter the cold joint and pop the patch out.
