Your asphalt paving surfaces are second to none, so you want to keep them in top shape. This can be a real challenge because asphalt typically needs care and attention year-round.
Here are five ways to keep your pavement in perfect shape:
- Leaves can harm your paving, so sweep them as frequently as possible, especially during the fall season.
- A little bit of water can help remove and shrink tar, keeping your pavements safe for all those who use them. It also helps the sealant create a fresh look by softening the color. That’s why you should pour generous amounts of water over your pavement during each rain storm (unless it snows). And then, you want to sweep each sidewalk or parking lot within the hour. You can also use a pressure washer for this step.
- Water will do more harm than good, so dry your pavement during winter. If your paving is exposed to direct sunlight, it can absorb heat and potentially buckle or crack in colder areas.
- If your pavement cracks or seems like they are starting to wear or break down, it is time to replace it. Protecting your paving from the elements will not keep it from cracking or wearing out. So, use a sealant containing an extra-thick layer for years of protection.
