Your new blacktop will soften and harden as temperatures rise and fall.
As temperatures rise, the blacktop will soften, making it more susceptible to damage from heavy loads or sharp objects. Conversely, as temperatures fall, the blacktop will harden, potentially leading to cracking or brittleness. To mitigate these effects, we utilize high-quality materials and employ proper installation techniques to ensure the blacktop can withstand temperature changes.
During the first 6-12 months while your driveway is curing, avoid doing these
It is important to avoid certain activities to ensure the proper development and longevity of the pavement. Firstly, avoid parking heavy vehicles or equipment on the newly paved surface, as the weight can cause indentations or damage. It is also recommended to refrain from turning the steering wheels of parked vehicles while they are stationary, as this can create tire marks and distort the surface.
Excessive weight from large, heavy vehicles can depress your new blacktop.
Avoid gasoline, oil, anti-freeze, power steering, and transmission fluid spills and leaks.
It is essential to avoid gasoline, oil, anti-freeze, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid spills and leaks on your blacktop. These substances can have detrimental effects on the pavement’s integrity and appearance. Spills and leaks can penetrate the surface, causing chemical reactions that weaken the asphalt and lead to deterioration. They can also stain the blacktop, leaving unsightly marks that are difficult to remove. To prevent these issues, it is important to promptly clean up any spills or leaks and use absorbent materials, such as kitty litter or sawdust, to contain and absorb the fluids.
Steps to preserve your new driveway.
To preserve your new driveway and extend its lifespan, it is important to follow a few key steps. Firstly, avoid parking heavy vehicles or equipment on the surface for at least the first week to allow the asphalt to fully cure. Additionally, be cautious when turning the wheels of parked vehicles, as this can cause damage to the freshly laid asphalt. Regularly sweep or use a leaf blower to remove debris and prevent it from settling into cracks or causing discoloration.
