Resurface: This is when a top layer of asphalt is added over existing driveway, and NO excavation or base repair is done. Remove and Replace: This is when the old driveway is excavated and removed; a new base is created and compressed, then new asphalt is added and compressed. Repair: This is when a small damaged area is heated (usually with a blow torch) and re-compacted to fix holes, repair cracks, and correct drainage problems or aesthetic issues.
