Benefits Of Doing Your Own Pavement Maintenance

The most obvious reason is that it's far more cost effective to handle your own asphalt maintenance. The larger advantage is scheduling. Timing is everything, and you can choose the best time to do the upkeep needed, so it is the least disruptive. Sure, you can book a time with a contractor, but if weather interferes, rescheduling can be a nightmare! When it's your call, you are free to jump in the next clear day that does not cause a disruption for customers, clients, or employees.

Why Asphalt Upkeep Is Essential

1. Appearance: Looks are important, especially in parking areas and laneways. When people first drive in, it is the first impression of your location. Pavement maintenance here will have a direct effect on how people view your business.

2. Safety: Cracked pavement is a tripping hazard, and an obvious safety concern. Faded parking lanes and direction stencils are often overlooked as a serious driving danger. Ensuring that there is enough room for driving, parking, and walking will prevent accidents.

3. Efficiency: A well-marked parking area means that you get as many parking spots as possible in your lot. We've all groaned at people who park badly in an unmarked area, taking up too much space and reducing the number of spots overall. With a well-marked lot, you get the maximum number of spots and make it better for everyone doing business with you.

4. Cost: As with all upkeep, it is far more economical in the long-term to maintain asphalt than it is to replace it. Leaving cracks unfilled will only result in larger cracks and eventually potholes. Skipping a sealcoat will leave the area unprotected and exposed to damage from the elements and oil stains.
