Don’t miss out on getting asphalt projects through this fall!

Asphalt paving usually takes place in spring or summer; the hot summer weather of Maryland is ideal for asphalt paving and repair projects of all kinds for all clients. Fall, which is a season for many maintenance tasks, is also the last ideal season for asphalt paving. Don’t miss out on the last season for asphalt paving this fall in Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania!

Asphalt Paving and the Weather

Paving with asphalt is a little like baking–that analogy might be a stretch, but they both require the worker to be mindful of the product’s chemical makeup and time limits to achieve the final goal.

An asphalt mixture comes to the project site already heated to the appropriate temperature for paving. The paving team must use warming equipment to ensure it maintains its temperature during cold weather. Ideally, the outdoor temperature must be at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit for an asphalt paving job to be successful. However, other types of asphalt, such aswarm mix and cold patch, allow jobs to go forward in colder weather.

Other climate factors also influence the paving project’s success, like the wind, the amount of sunshine, and the humidity level.

The weather and climate overall factor into the success of how asphalt will dry and how much time there is to compact it.Compaction is key to a proper paving job, and drying can take up to two days before traffic can use the pavement.

Why Pave or Repair in the Fall?

In Maryland, fall weather can range between the 70s and the 40s. In 2024, it has been an unseasonably warm fall across the east coast; in fact, the summer had above average temperatures across the world where the summer season is! Fall is the last time you can successfully complete asphalt paving projects in Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. It is the last time you can use an enduring asphalt mix like hot or warm mix asphalt; cold patch is best for temporary fixes.

If you needasphalt repairs in Maryland, it’s best to go with a long-lasting solution rather than a temporary fix. It will save you both time and money.
