Asphalt paving is an investment that can last decades with proper care. In Providence and Warwick, weather, traffic, and time take a toll. This guide explains how to extend asphalt life with professional maintenance and repairs.

Understanding Asphalt Lifespan

Well-maintained asphalt can last 20–30 years. Factors affecting lifespan include:

• Local climate conditions

• Traffic load and vehicle types
  Regular maintenance practices

Seasonal Maintenance Guide

Spring

Clean surfaces, remove debris, and inspect for winter damage.

Summer

Ideal time for sealcoating and major repairs.

Fall

Prepare for winter by fixing cracks and clearing drainage paths.

Winter

Use safe snow removal methods to prevent surface damage.

Common Asphalt Problems

Cracks

Caused by weather and heavy loads; require timely sealing.

Potholes

Result from water infiltration and traffic stress.

Drainage Issues

Pooling water weakens asphalt structure.

Fading and Wear

Sunlight and chemicals cause fading; resurfacing can restore appearance.

Repair Methods

Crack Filling

Sealing cracks prevents water penetration and future damage.

Patching

Quick fixes for potholes and small damaged areas.

Resurfacing

Adds a new top layer without full replacement.

Full Reconstruction

Needed when the base layer is compromised.

Benefits of Sealcoating

• Protection against UV rays and water damage

• Improved appearance and color retention

• Cost savings by preventing major repairs

• Extended pavement lifespan

Preventative Maintenance Tips

• Address cracks promptly
  Ensure proper drainage
  Limit exposure to heavy machinery
  Use high-quality de-icing products in winter

Commercial vs. Residential Maintenance

Businesses with high-traffic lots require more frequent inspections and specialized equipment, while residential driveways can be maintained on a lighter schedule.

Long-lasting durability
