Winter is coming, and now is the time to make sure your asphalt surface is properly winterized.  Whether you're a business owner or a homeowner with pavement, winter weather can wreak havoc on your asphalt. With freezing temperatures, snow, and ice, unprepared asphalt can become a hazard to both pedestrians and vehicles. Don't wait until the last minute to safeguard your investment.  In this post, we'll discuss the importance of winterizing your asphalt and how our winterization services can benefit you. The Important of Winterizing Your Pavement When water freezes, it expands, which can cause cracks and damage to your pavement. If these issues are left unaddressed, they can become safety hazards and lead to liability issues. As a property owner, it's essential to be…

Pavement markers may be different from your first thoughts when considering road safety. When you think about road safety, what comes to mind?  Most of us think about things like driving the speed limit, wearing a seatbelt, and being aware of other drivers on the road. But drivers and property owners alike often overlook another crucial factor when it comes to road safety: pavement markers.  Pavement markers, also known as pavement striping, use paint or tape to create lines or symbols on roads and highways. These markings serve the vital purpose of keeping our streets safe for all users. Let’s take a closer look at why this is so important.  The Importance of Visibility  Pavement markers and pavement striping help make roads easier to navigate…

Whether you own a business or home, maintaining the life cycle of your asphalt can be one of the most important investments you make. Periodically applying RejuvaShield can help extend the life cycle of your asphalt pavement indefinitely, so it is essential to understand why and how this product works. Let’s look at what RejuvaShield does and why it is an effective solution for preserving and rejuvenating asphalt. What is RejuvaShield? RejuvaShield is a revolutionary product that helps preserve and protect asphalt surfaces. It is a water-based emulsion containing nanotechnology that penetrates deep into the surface of the asphalt. This technology helps to seal and bind particles within the surface, which in turn helps to reduce cracking, weathering, erosion, and other forms of deterioration. RejuvaShield…

Pavement maintenance is an essential part of keeping roads safe and usable. Adequately maintained asphalt pavement and driveway pavement can last for years, saving property owners money. As anyone who has ever been down a poorly maintained road knows, properly maintained asphalt and pavement markers help drivers have an enjoyable ride.  Maintaining pavement is no easy task; it requires a combination of regular inspections, preventive repairs, and proactive treatments to keep the pavement in optimal condition. Let’s look at some of the most essential aspects of pavement maintenance.  Regular Pavement Inspections  Regular pavement inspections are necessary to identify any areas of distress or damage on the roadway before they worsen. Conduct pavement inspections at least once every two years, but more frequent examinations may be…

Asphalt rejuvenators restore the look and feel of asphalt damaged by weather and frequent usage. It's an integral part of maintaining your driveway or parking lot, but there are a few things you need to know before applying it. Specifically, asphalt sealcoat can significantly impact how well asphalt rejuvenator works—so let's take a closer look at why that is. What Is Asphalt Sealcoat? Asphalt sealcoat is a protective coating applied to asphalt surfaces to protect them from the elements and wear caused by oil and debris. It's typically made from coal tar or asphalt emulsion and is usually applied as a thin liquid and dries into a hard shell. Sealcoating helps protect the underlying asphalt surface from oxidation, fading, cracking, and water damage.  Asphalt sealcoat…

Have you ever noticed that your asphalt paving becomes brittle and develops cracks as time passes? That’s because, over time, asphalt paving oxidizes and hardens. This process, called oxidative hardening, is reversible by using an asphalt rejuvenator that helps extend your pavement's life.  In this blog post, we’ll explore how an asphalt rejuvenator works and how it can help you save on paving costs. What is Oxidative Hardening? Oxidative hardening occurs when oxygen molecules in the air come into contact with liquid asphalt binder. This process causes a chain reaction that decreases the binder's flexibility and strength – two necessary components for ensuring that asphalt remains durable. Oxidative hardening eventually leads to cracking and other forms of deterioration in your pavement. How Does Asphalt Rejuvenation…

Asphalt is a common material used for driveways and walkways, but it can be prone to wear and tear due to weather, traffic, and more. Luckily, there are asphalt rejuvenators that can help preserve your property investment.  What exactly are these rejuvenators? And what type should you use? Let’s take a look at the two main types of asphalt rejuvenators and how they can benefit your home. Asphalt Sealers Asphalt sealers protect the asphalt’s surface from water penetration and oxidation. They also help to reduce the wear caused by UV rays. In addition, sealers provide a waterproof layer that helps reduce damage from chemicals such as oil or gasoline spills. Sealers also help extend the life of asphalt pavement by preventing cracks, fissures, and other…

Due to its durability and affordability, paving with asphalt is one of the most popular choices for driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots. However, just like any other material, it eventually wears down over time and needs to be replaced. Understanding the four stages of the pavement life cycle is essential to help you keep your asphalt pavement looking great for years to come. Installation/Construction Phase The installation and construction phase of paving with asphalt is the first stage of the asphalt life cycle. During this phase, a qualified contractor will assess your property and install the new pavement, from excavating and grading the surface to applying a top layer of asphalt. Make sure to hire experienced contractors to ensure proper installation. Maintenance Phase  Maintenance is…

Asphalt is one of the most popular materials used for driveways, parking lots, and roads. But did you know that water can be a major enemy of asphalt? It’s true; too much water can cause damage to asphalt surfaces, making them more prone to cracking and other wear-and-tear problems. Let’s take a look at why this is and what you can do to prevent water damage. Asphalt is a durable material that is designed to withstand heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions. Unfortunately, it is not impervious to water damage. When water penetrates asphalt surfaces, it seeps into the underlying layers of the pavement and causes them to weaken over time. This weakening can lead to cracks in the surface layer as well as potholes…
