Whether your property is residential or commercial, maintaining the asphalt around your building and in driveways and lots is an important step for keeping your property in top condition. Mount Morris, NY’s concrete and asphalt driveway experts at Spallina Materials are here to explain what asphalt maintenance entails and why it’s important.

Prolonging the life of your asphalt is critical in the overall maintenance of your property. Keeping driveways and other areas in good shape not only improves the appearance of your space, but it also keeps people safe from any hazards that can arise. One of the easiest ways to keep asphalt in top shape is simple cleaning. By removing debris, garbage, and leaves, you remove any opportunity for surface stains or damage. This preventive maintenance keeps your asphalt driveway and parking lot in better shape for longer.

One big factor to consider is taking care of cracks as soon as they appear. With regular upkeep, cracks won’t become bigger issues like potholes that can harm pedestrians and also cause problems for any vehicles driving over them. Cracks allow the elements to seep into the asphalt paving, which will also degrade your driveways and lots.

Another way to keep asphalt in working order is proper drainage. This will also keep the elements out, especially water. If water pools, the drainage system isn’t working. Once cracks are filled and drainage is fixed, experts recommend sealcoating asphalt driveways and parking lots. The coating will protect from future cracking and potholes, prolonging the life of your property’s asphalt areas.
