    Frequently Asked Questions About Asphalt Paving

    What are the main benefits of asphalt?

    Asphalt is a durable, cost-effective paving solution that provides a smooth, safe surface for both vehicles and pedestrians. Known for its flexibility and strength, it’s able to withstand heavy traffic and various weather conditions. Asphalt’s dark color also absorbs heat, promoting quicker snow and ice melt in winter, which enhances safety. Plus, asphalt is a recyclable material, making it a more environmentally friendly choice for pavement projects.

    How can I protect my asphalt?

    Protecting your asphalt begins with regular maintenance, which includes sealcoating, filling cracks, and keeping the surface clean from debris. Sealcoating every 2-3 years helps protect asphalt from water, oil, and UV rays, which can cause it to wear out faster. Addressing small cracks as they appear prevents them from expanding and weakening the pavement. Additionally, minimizing heavy loads and using proper drainage to avoid standing water can extend the life of your asphalt.

    Will weather impact scheduled paving operations?

    Yes, weather can significantly affect asphalt paving schedules. Ideal paving conditions include warm, dry weather, which allows asphalt to set properly. Rain, cold temperatures, or high humidity can delay work because asphalt requires specific conditions to set and adhere well. Our team closely monitors weather forecasts and will keep you updated on any necessary schedule adjustments to ensure a quality finish.

    Should I be concerned about cracks in my asphalt?

    Yes, cracks in asphalt are a common issue but should not be ignored. Even small cracks can allow water to seep beneath the surface, leading to erosion and larger, more costly repairs down the line. Regularly inspecting and filling cracks as they appear helps prevent further damage, prolonging the life of your asphalt. Our team offers crack-filling services to help maintain your pavement and keep it safe and attractive.
