It’s important to have a residential asphalt paving service work on your asphalt driveway in order to get good quality. After it has been installed, you should take steps to maintain it and avoid neglecting it before it has served its lifespan. If your asphalt paving job is handled by a professional, they can guide you on how to keep it in good shape after they have installed it.
To maintain your asphalt pavement, you should avoid driving aggressively on it, especially when it’s freshly installed. Doing this can affect the integrity of the asphalt and make it wear out faster than it should.
Wait for at least three months to pass before you apply any asphalt sealer so that it can cure fully. Also, avoid spilling oil or any petroleum products on it as they not only look bad but they also permeate the surface and break down the asphalt.
To maintain your asphalt in good condition, always place a block of wood on the ground before you place a bike kickstand, trailer hitch, or anything else that can concentrate a high mass on a small point. This will distribute the weight evenly and avoid leaving marks on the asphalt.
With this advice, you can enjoy having your paving in good condition for a long time.
