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.
