  • You can put asphalt over dirt, but it's not recommended. The asphalt won't adhere as well to the dirt, and it will be more prone to cracking. It's best to put a layer of gravel or crushed stone down before installing the asphalt.

    It is possible to put asphalt over dirt, but it is not recommended. The main reason for this is that asphalt needs a solid surface to be installed on so that it can properly adhere to the ground. If you try to install asphalt over dirt, there is a good chance that it will not stick and will come loose, which could lead to problems with the pavement. If you are in need of asphalt paving installation services, it is best to contact a professional company who can help you get the job done properly.
