Summer is almost here, which means you will be spending more time
outside, and inevitably more time with your asphalt driveway; so you
will want to make sure that it looks its best. Here are some things
you can do this summer to help keep your driveway in pristine
condition and protect your investment.
Keep Your Driveway Clear of Lawn Debris
Leaving dirt, grass clippings, leaves, and other debris on your
driveway for long periods of time can cause uneven fading. Whenever
you perform any kind of landscaping, lawn mowing, or other yard work
around the house, take an extra minute to sweep off your driveway or
wash it down with a hose.
Avoid Parking in the Exact Same Spot
Heavy loads placed on the same spot for long periods of time may
eventually cause your asphalt driveway to settle unevenly, especially
in the summer when the hot temperatures make the surface softer and
more impressionable. Make a conscious effort to park in a different
spot every day, even if it is only a foot or two away, and avoid
leaving a vehicle parked for several days at a time.
Keep Sharp Objects Off the Surface
It is always recommended to keep sharp objects off of your asphalt
driveway, but this is especially important during the summertime.
Motorcycle kickstands, lawn chairs, grill legs, and even high heel
shoes can place a significant amount of weight on a small surface
area and lead to punctures and holes in your asphalt driveway.
Keep Cool
If you have an irrigation system, adjust the heads to spray a
little water on the driveway. This will help keep the surface cool on
the warmest of days.

will enhance your home's curb appeal and even boost your resale
