If speeding cars or fast forklifts are a problem, asphalt speed bumps are a durable, low-maintenance way to control traffic flow. Apex Asphalt Mesa has served Mesa since 2017, installing and repairing speed bumps for HOAs, retail lots, apartments, schools, and industrial yards.
Prep and base work decide whether asphalt speed bumps hold their shape or rut out. We start by verifying placement, length, and height, then sawcut and remove failed material as needed. The area is cleaned with brooms and blowers, tack coat is applied for bond, and we correct soft spots with full-depth asphalt patching or aggregate base (ABC) re-compaction. For new installs, we build a stable platform with proper compaction using a vibratory plate compactor or roller so the bump does not settle at the edges.
Mesa heat, UV, and monsoon runoff punish asphalt, so the finish has to be tight and well-drained. We place hot mix asphalt and form the profile with lute work and steel rakes, then compact to lock in density and reduce raveling. Where drainage is critical, we shape transitions so water does not pond upstream of the bump, and we correct dips that cause splash and premature cracking. For repairs, we blend new mat into surrounding pavement with clean seams and uniform compaction so tires do not catch an edge.
Mesa property managers choose us because we keep the work simple, predictable, and compliant. You get a clear plan for traffic control and staging, plus a written scope that spells out sawcut limits, mix placement, and compaction steps. Our crews are licensed and insured, and we focus on long-wearing asphalt speed bumps that are built like pavement, not temporary piles. If your speed bump problem is really a base failure or drainage issue, we address the root cause instead of just re-shaping the surface.
At closeout, we walk the site with you and verify the bump profile, transitions, and any patch tie-ins. You receive a clean work area, marked locations (as requested), and straightforward care guidance, including cure time before heavy turning or trash-truck loading. We can also coordinate follow-up services such as crack sealing, sealcoating, or spot repairs to keep the lot consistent. The goal is simple: asphalt speed bumps that slow vehicles smoothly and stay intact through daily traffic.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after a site visit so we can verify square footage, access, and what prep is required.
Light foot traffic is often possible the same day, but vehicles should typically stay off for at least 24-48 hours depending on temperature, mix, and thickness. We’ll give you a specific reopen time at the jobsite.
Yes. We correct grades with milling, regrading, and asphalt leveling where appropriate, then pave to establish consistent slope and proper tie-ins at concrete, gutters, and entries.
Yes. We handle parking lot paving, overlays, patching, crack sealing, and sealcoating, and we can phase work to keep access open.
Crack sealing typically includes cleaning and sealing cracks with rubberized crack filler to reduce water intrusion. Sealcoating applies a protective coat over the surface after prep work, but it does not correct failed base or deep structural cracks.
Asphalt speed bumps help control vehicle speeds in parking lots, private streets, and loading areas without the constant maintenance of loose materials. Apex Asphalt Mesa installs new asphalt speed bumps and repairs damaged ones using proven paving practices: sawcut removal when needed, tack coat bonding, hot mix asphalt placement, and compaction with the right equipment. Whether you manage an HOA, retail center, apartment complex, or industrial yard, we focus on a bump profile that slows traffic smoothly while protecting the surrounding pavement from rutting and edge failure.
Many speed bump failures come from what you cannot see: soft subgrade, loose aggregate base, or poor bonding between lifts. Our installation process starts with surface prep, verifying the existing pavement thickness and correcting unstable areas before we build the bump. When bumps are placed on thin or cracked asphalt, we typically recommend localized full-depth patching first so the bump has a stable platform. That reduces shifting at the edges, minimizes cracking, and keeps the profile consistent under repeat braking and turning.
Mesa’s summer heat and UV exposure can dry out asphalt binders, and monsoon storms can exploit low spots around traffic calming devices. We shape transitions so water can move and tires do not “hit” a sharp edge, then compact thoroughly to reduce raveling and shoving. If your existing asphalt speed bumps are crumbling, flattening, or creating puddles, repair often means more than adding mix. We remove failed material to sound pavement, rebuild the base where needed, and tie in the new asphalt so it performs like part of the lot, not a patch on top.
If you need asphalt speed bumps installed or repaired, we will review the site layout, traffic patterns, and any striping or signage needs and provide a free written estimate. You will know what gets removed, what gets rebuilt, what mix is used, and how the work will be staged to keep access moving. The result is predictable traffic calming and a cleaner, safer driving surface for residents, customers, and deliveries.
Call now or send a request and we will reach out within one business day to schedule your free, no-obligation estimate in Mesa. We assess the project, review the details, and give you a written quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what to expect.
