How Denver’s Winter Freeze-Thaw Cycles Impact Asphalt Durability
November 19, 2025
Denver’s high-altitude climate makes it one of the most challenging regions in the United States for asphalt pavement longevity. Each winter, fluctuating temperatures cause frequent freeze-thaw cycles, where melted snow seeps into tiny pavement cracks, freezes overnight, expands, and thaws again. This constant expansion and contraction places repeated stress on asphalt surfaces, leading to cracking,

Why Sealcoating Is Vital for Colorado Springs’ Parking Lots in 2026
October 5, 2025
Sealcoating is the process of applying a thin protective layer over asphalt pavement to shield it from weather, heavy traffic, and chemical spills. It prevents asphalt from becoming brittle, reduces cracking, and restores the dark finish that makes lots look new. According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, sealcoating can extend the life of asphalt

How Colorado Springs’ Altitude Affects Asphalt Paving
October 5, 2025
Colorado Springs sits at an elevation above 6,000 feet and faces distinct paving challenges driven by its high altitude. Higher UV exposure, larger diurnal temperature swings, and altered air and moisture conditions affect how asphalt ages, how mixes should be specified, and which construction methods are most successful in the long term. To address these
