At first thought, you may not consider asphalt pavement as your next money saving investment, but consider taking a closer look.
REASON #2. Proper Asphalt Installation Saves Time and Money
The lifespan of your asphalt surface depends a lot on whether the asphalt was installed appropriately. We’ve already mentioned that drainage is a key installation consideration, and that requires proper installation of the sub-base. Think of the sub-base as the platform, or support structure of your driveway or parking lot. Without adequate support, your asphalt surface won’t last.
Beyond the selection of proper materials, your commercial asphalt contractor should focus on proper compaction and grading. Compaction is a very important step in the driveway installation process because the integrity of the asphalt overlay depends on a solid base. Contractors should test the entire surface area for any soft spots and resolve them before continuing to apply asphalt.

At first thought, you may not consider asphalt pavement as your next money saving investment, but it’s good business to add asphalt to your investment plan.
REASON 1: Improving Asphalt Drainage Can Save Money.
Driveways and parking lots with poor drainage will require more frequent repairs and maintenance, and as a business owner, that can be very frustrating. Without proper drainage, you’ll likely see standing water, which has the potential to slowly breakdown and compromise the asphalt surface, leading to cracks and eventually even potholes. This means more money for repairs, more often.
#TIPTUESDAY: You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Fixing parking lot potholes will immediately boost your business’ charm!

REASON #3. Porous Asphalt Pavement May Offer Tax Credits
Porous asphalt pavement is considered a ‘green’ asphalt solution. It is unique because it allows water to run through it, as opposed to over it, eliminating water runoff and instead, returning water naturally to the soil and water table below the asphalt surface.
Many municipalities actually consider porous asphalt as a green infrastructure solution, so if you choose to use it for your parking lot or driveway installation or expansion, you could receive a tax or ‘green’ credit.
Not only that, the use of porous asphalt can reduce your costs in other areas, too. Using porous asphalt means you can reduce the need for drainage structures to comply with storm water regulations, and moreover, reduce the need for storm water management feature costs, like specialized landscaping and retention ponds.

If your parking lot is fading, crumbling or full of potholes, you may be wondering how to fit repair and resurfacing into your already tight property budget. Don’t worry; establishing a realistic parking lot maintenance budget doesn’t need to be painful.
What To Consider If You Require A New Asphalt Surface
• Consider the long life expectancy. The life expectancy of a properly designed, installed and maintained asphalt parking lot ranges from 15 – 20 years. So while you may encounter a higher up-front cost, there will be space in your budget for other projects for many years to come.
• Consider Other Budget Factors. Before you get started on the project, consider any budget considerations that may affect your tenants or customers. Be upfront and realistic with your timelines and communicate your vision for the project with all affected parties.

#TipTuesday - Don’t Underestimate The Power Of Sealcoating
Sealcoating protects and prolongs the life expectancy of asphalt pavement by filling surface damage and providing a protective layer to keep out damaging UV rays, vehicle fluids and water. Sealcoating should be completed every 3-5 years to protect the asphalt surface and to give the surface a fresh look. Without a regular sealcoating application, you leave your asphalt surface unprotected from the elements and external factors

#TipTuesday - Repair Potholes Right Away
Potholes are caused by the expansion and contraction of water after it has entered into the ground under pavement. The pothole repair process involves four important steps: clean, heat, add the new custom aggregate mix, and cool.
Repairing a pothole before it spreads and causes further damage to your parking lot surface is very important. Potholes left unchecked can grow continuously with ongoing traffic and use, increasing the cost of repair and reducing the integrity of your entire asphalt surface.
New year, new driveway!
