Luckily JL Enterprise your asphalt contractors in Denver Colorado have over 20 years of experience and ready to answer that question for you!


Every project is different and each project requires different tools, and different asphalt mixes for your driveway or parking lot repair in Denver, Colorado. In fact there are 5 grades available in asphalt.




1. Hot Mix

Hot mix asphalt is the standard used all over the United States. Hot mix asphalt is used for asphalt paving in Colorado and patch work. Hot mix asphalt is used for both commercial and residential, this includes high-traffic roads, interstates, and highways, to name a few.

2. Cold Mix

Cold mix is used for a quick band-aid fix but not exactly recommended. Cold mix asphalt does not require to be heated, cold mix could be poured directly and ready to compact fresh out the bag.





3. Recycled Asphalt

Recycled asphalt also known as reclaimed asphalt pavement is mostly used for quick temporary fixes like emergency pot hole repairs, used for base, and used for fill. Recycled asphalt does not bind together like hot mix. Think of recycled asphalt as a better version of loose gavel.



3.Dense Grade Mixes
