Frequently Asked Questions About Services in Shrewsbury, MA
Q: How does S. Phaneuf & Associates construct retaining walls on steep lakeside slopes in Shrewsbury, MA?
S. Phaneuf & Associates excavates a base trench into stable earth below the frost line and backfills with a 12-inch base of compacted angular crushed stone. Masons build the wall using structural concrete units or natural stone, placing continuous perforated drain pipes behind the wall enveloped in filter fabric. This design releases groundwater pressure, preventing slope failure and frost heave along Lake Quinsigamond properties.
Q: What is the process for asphalt driveway resurfacing in Shrewsbury, MA?
S. Phaneuf & Associates cleans the existing asphalt surface, mills down transitioning edges at garage aprons and roadways, and repairs cracks with hot-pour rubberized sealant. Crews apply a liquid tack coat bonding agent followed by a 1.5-to-2 inch overlay of dense top-course hot-mix asphalt, compacted with heavy vibratory rollers for a seamless finish.
