🕒 Seasonal Guide to Pavement Maintenance from Pave Worx

Your driveway, sidewalk, or parking lot is an investment—and like any investment, it needs regular upkeep. Extreme weather conditions, from freezing winters to scorching summers, can damage asphalt and concrete surfaces.

Let the experts at Pave Worx show you how to protect your surfaces year-round.

❄️ Winter: Protect from Freeze and Salt Damage

Winter's cold can be devastating to pavement.

✅ Tips:

• Seal cracks before winter hits to prevent water from freezing and expanding inside.
• Avoid rock salt, which can deteriorate concrete—use calcium magnesium acetate instead.
• Shovel gently, using plastic blades to prevent surface scratches.
• Keep it clear—remove snow and ice promptly.

🌷 Spring: Inspect and Repair

After winter thaws, assess any damage.

✅ Tips:

• Inspect for cracks, potholes, and surface flaking.
• Pressure wash to remove winter's grime, salt, and debris.
• Schedule sealcoating for asphalt if it's been over 2 years.
• Repaint lines for parking lots to maintain professionalism.

☀️ Summer: Prevent Heat-Related Damage

High temperatures can create fading and soft spots, particularly in asphalt.

✅ Tips:

• Apply a UV-protective sealant to prevent oxidation and color loss.
• Keep heavy vehicles off freshly sealed surfaces.
• Water your concrete occasionally during heat waves to prevent drying and cracking.

🍂 Fall: Prep for the Freeze

Fall is ideal for preventative maintenance before winter arrives.

✅ Tips:

• Clean up leaves to prevent moisture trapping and stains.
• Seal any visible cracks before freezing rain or snow arrives.
• Ensure drainage areas are clear to prevent water pooling and freezing.
• Schedule a professional inspection for peace of mind.
