Keep traffic controlled with properly built asphalt speed bumps that stay put and drain right. Serving since 2019, Apex Asphalt Lakewood installs and repairs asphalt speed bumps for HOAs, apartments, retail lots, warehouses, and private roads in Lakewood.
Good speed bumps start with prep and base, not just a pile of hot mix. We layout height and placement, sawcut and remove failed asphalt, then proof-roll the area and correct soft spots before paving. For new installs we clean to a tight edge, apply asphalt tack coat for bond, and place hot mix asphalt in lifts so the bump has structure instead of cold joints. When the subgrade is weak, we recommend a compacted Class 6 road base layer with proper moisture conditioning and compaction to reduce shifting and cracking.
Front Range freeze-thaw, de-icing salts, and UV exposure punish asphalt that is too thin or poorly compacted. We shape smooth ramps for predictable braking, keep transitions tight to reduce plow strike points, and build the crown and edges to move water off the bump instead of trapping it. After placement, the surface is compacted with steel drum and plate compaction where needed, then checked for ride quality and consistent profile. Striping and markings can be added after cure using durable traffic paint so drivers see the bump day or night.
Lakewood property managers choose us because we install asphalt speed bumps like pavement, with measured layout, clean joints, and compaction you can feel. Our crews show up with the right equipment for small and large sites, including sawcutting tools, asphalt lute and rakes, a plate compactor, and roller support when access allows. You get clear options for new bumps versus repairs, including remove-and-replace, overlay rebuilds, and tie-ins that stop raveling at the edges. We stay focused on minimizing disruption, coordinating work windows for businesses, and keeping entrances usable whenever possible.
Before we wrap up, we do a walkthrough with you to confirm placement, ramp smoothness, drainage, and any paint or signage needs. You receive a written scope, measurements and quantities, and straightforward maintenance guidance, including when to sealcoat nearby pavement and how to avoid plow damage. For repairs, we document the cause, whether it is base failure, water intrusion, or shear from turning movements, so the fix lasts. The result is a speed bump that slows vehicles without shaking buildings, breaking asphalt at the edges, or creating ponding.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that lists the scope, materials (hot-mix asphalt, tack coat, crack sealant, sealcoat), and an expected schedule.
Light foot traffic is often possible the same day, and vehicle traffic is typically allowed after the asphalt cools and gains initial stability. We give site-specific guidance based on thickness, temperature, and turning movements.
Often, yes. We can do targeted repairs like saw-cut remove and replace, full-depth patching, or infrared patching, then blend the repairs into a maintenance plan such as crack filling and sealcoating.
Yes. We can restripe after paving or sealcoating, including stall lines, fire lanes, directional arrows, and accessible markings, based on your layout and requirements.
Prep typically includes demolition or milling if needed, grading for drainage, compacting aggregate base, addressing soft spots, applying tack coat where new asphalt meets existing pavement, and compacting hot-mix with vibratory rollers for density.
Asphalt speed bumps are one of the fastest ways to reduce speeding in parking lots and private drives, but only if they are built on a stable base and tied into the existing pavement. Apex Asphalt Lakewood installs new speed bumps and repairs failed bumps that have cracking, raveling edges, low spots, or loose material. We handle commercial properties, HOAs, apartment communities, churches, schools, and industrial yards where traffic control needs to be effective, visible, and durable through Colorado weather.
Installation typically starts with layout and surface evaluation. If the pavement is sound, we clean the area and apply tack coat so the new asphalt bonds tight to the existing mat. Where bumps have failed, we sawcut, remove damaged material, and rebuild the section so the repair has full-depth support. On soft subgrade or high-turning areas, we may recommend a compacted Class 6 base to stabilize the footprint before paving.
We build the bump profile with consistent height and smooth approaches, then compact thoroughly to reduce future rutting and edge breakdown. Colorado freeze-thaw cycles make density and tight joints especially important, because water infiltration quickly turns into cracking and spalling. If your site needs visibility upgrades, we can add striping and markings after the asphalt has cooled and cured enough for paint adhesion.
If you are comparing options, asphalt speed bumps offer a quieter, more permanent solution than temporary rubber units, and repairs are straightforward when issues are caught early. Tell us your traffic pattern, plow practices, and problem areas, and we will recommend a scope that fits your site and budget.
