5 Benefits of Commercial Asphalt Installation

Asphalt. You see it every day. You see it on the streets, in parking lots, and even at home. As commonplace as it may seem, asphalt has enormous benefits for commercial properties and municipalities that will save your business or government time, money and hassle.

1. Saves You Money in the Long Run – When Properly Installed

Asphalt is an investment. Whether you’re patching a damaged section of road or resurfacing and starting from the ground up with new pavement, if it’s done right, your asphalt can have a surprisingly long lifespan.

Proper drainage and proper installation of the sub-base are key for a sustained asphalt investment. Your asphalt professional will also assess compaction and grading of the ground on which the asphalt will be installed to search for any soft spots prior to laying the pavement. With a skilled crew, your asphalt will stand the test of time on your commercial property or roadway, saving on frequent maintenance.

2. Improves Drainage Systems

As we said, proper drainage is the key to a lasting asphalt investment. When your paving company is assessing your property for asphalt installation, they can make recommendations to better the drainage of your property to ensure that it is properly leveled, sloped and paved to the highest standard.

Proper drainage means less standing water and puddles that can be nuisances for motorists and detriments to your pavement’s lifespan. Standing water can break down and compromise the asphalt surface, eventually leading to cracks, alligatoring and even potholes. Asphalt experts can make sure unwanted water will drain to storm water basins or rain gardens with ease.

3. Quick Installation to Save You Time

The asphalt laying process is simple. Your asphalt professional will assess your needs to determine what kind of asphalt paving process is required for your project, including the amount of expected traffic, the environment the asphalt will be laid in, and more.

On a warm, clear day, your paving project can be completed quickly with minimal disturbance to your customers, clients and/or motorists. On roadways, maximizing traffic flow while completing maintenance is paramount, and on larger roads, your paving professional will direct traffic to avoid backups.

4. Flexibility Extends Lifespan & Improves Ease of Repairs

Asphalt is the premier substance for parking lot and roadway paving. While concrete is also common for use in highways, drive-throughs and more, asphalt is a much more flexible material and has many more benefits in comparison. Asphalt can move and bend with the shifting of the earth and the weight of cars and trucks, meaning fewer cracks and damage when installed properly. Cracks can occur due to freezing, water, plant growth and more, but the nature of asphalt makes it easier to repair those small inconveniences.

5. Low Maintenance Costs to Extend Asphalt Lifespan

Maintaining your asphalt investment is the key to saving money and keeping your asphalt looking its best. Set up a routine preventative maintenance schedule with your asphalt professional to avoid more costly maintenance. Your asphalt professional can conduct inspections to correct faults before they become worse and cost your business or municipality time and money that could have been avoided.
