 What's the best way? Do they just remove the whole thing and then start from scratch, or what's the best way to go? I think that's the best way. In most cases, that's the best way. You can resurface it, but if you want to make sure that the base is really solid, you would take off the old. They would put a new base down. They would compact it with machines so it's really, really solid, and then they would apply new asphalt on top of that.
