Make the Most of the Season with Fresh Asphalt
Spring is finally here! The days are getting longer, the weather’s warming up, and it’s the perfect time to tackle outdoor projects—including asphalt paving. Whether you’re thinking about repaving your driveway or upgrading a commercial parking lot, spring offers the best conditions to get the job done right.
If you’ve been putting off paving, now’s your chance to get ahead of the summer rush. Here’s why spring is the ideal time for asphalt installation and repairs.
1. Perfect Weather for Asphalt Installation
Asphalt needs just the right conditions to be installed properly, and spring provides the ideal temperature range—not too hot, not too cold.
Why spring is the best time:
- Asphalt needs temperatures between 50-85°F for proper curing.
- Cooler spring days prevent overheating, which can lead to soft spots.
- Less humidity means the asphalt sets evenly and lasts longer.
If you’re planning a project, take advantage of the mild spring weather before the scorching summer heat arrives.
2. Fix Winter Damage Before It Gets Worse
Winter can be brutal on asphalt. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures cause cracks and potholes, which only get worse as the months go by. Spring is the best time to repair winter damage before small cracks turn into costly repairs.
Common post-winter asphalt issues:
- Potholes from repeated freezing and thawing.
- Cracks that let in water, leading to deeper structural damage.
- Faded markings and worn-down surfaces that need refreshing.
By taking care of repairs now, you’ll avoid bigger problems and save money in the long run.
3. Get Your Driveway or Parking Lot Ready for Summer
Once summer hits, your asphalt surface will be put to the test. Increased traffic, high temperatures, and sun exposure can cause asphalt to soften, crack, or fade.
Spring paving benefits:
- Gives asphalt time to properly cure before summer heat.
- Enhances curb appeal for homes and businesses before peak outdoor season.
- Creates a smooth, durable surface that’s ready for summer traffic.
Whether you’re a homeowner or business owner, spring paving sets you up for success before the busiest time of year.
