RESIDENTIAL RESURFACING USING HOT MIX ASPHALT (HMA) 

Commonly referred to as blacktop, hot mix asphalt (HMA) is a form of asphalt concrete that is mixed at a contractor's hot mix plant, transported to the roadway in dump trucks, placed using a paver, and compacted with steel-wheel or rubber-tired rollers. With routine preventative maintenance, HMA yields a service life between 15-20 years.
