This can be a tough question to answer. Is it necessary to change the oil in your vehicle? Probably not, the engine will still fire up and get your from point A to point B, but for how long? Longevity is the key to answering this question properly. After your asphalt is installed and compacted to perfection in your driveway or parking lot the elements of our climate start the deterioration process immediately. Lets start with a short history behind asphalt. Asphalt is bitumen, a highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. Its primary use is in road construction where it is used as a glue or binder mixed with sand and aggregates to form asphalt concrete. Bitumen is a naturally occurring resource so over time heat, cold , ultra violet exposure and moisture begin to break down your asphalt causing it to deteriorate. Protecting your asphalt with a scheduled maintenance plan can drastically exceed the life expectancy of your Pavement surface. There are many re-surfacing products that can be applied depending on the stage or condition of your asphalt driveway. Choosing a contractor with experience in the industry is important, a responsible contractor will keep himself and his crews up to date with products and their proper application methods and procedures.
