After months of freeze-thaw cycles, snow plows, and salt exposure, spring often reveals the true condition of your pavement. Cracks, potholes, pooling water, and surface deterioration are all common signs that winter has taken its toll—and that it’s time to act.
Spring isn’t just about blooming flowers and warmer days—it’s also the perfect season for asphalt paving and repairs. Here’s why:
Asphalt needs a specific temperature range to set and cure properly. In spring, consistent daytime temperatures between 50°F and 70°F create ideal conditions. The mix stays workable long enough for precise placement and compaction, which leads to a smoother, longer-lasting surface.
Cracks and potholes that emerged over winter will only worsen as the year progresses. Spring repairs can halt further deterioration, especially before summer heat and increased traffic stress the pavement further. Fixing small issues now prevents costly structural failures later.
Spring tends to offer more stable, dry weather than late fall or early summer. This allows paving crews to stay on schedule without the complications of rain-soaked subgrades or weather shutdowns. A dry base equals better compaction—and better results.
For commercial properties, spring paving minimizes interference with summer foot traffic, outdoor events, or peak business periods. Getting the work done early in the year means your pavement is ready and looking its best when it matters most.
Spring is also the perfect time to sealcoat, restripe, or adjust drainage systems in preparation for summer storms and high vehicle usage. Addressing these proactive measures now helps preserve your investment and enhances safety for drivers and pedestrians alike.
Here are the most common springtime projects we recommend for property owners and facility managers:
Spring is a short window—but one that can make a big difference in your pavement’s lifespan. The conditions are right, the damage is visible, and your property deserves attention before the next seasonal shift brings new challenges.
