All Seasons, All Problems – Caring for Your Nashville Asphalt

Rose Paving / June 25, 2019

Nashville has it all – hot summers, cold winters, rain, ice, and snow. The seasons roll through in full force each year, bringing with them their own individual charms. This, unfortunately, also includes weather conditions that wreak havoc on your asphalt. But here at Rose Paving, we’re well prepared. We know how to keep your asphalt protected year-round to prolong its life and keep it looking great for years and years to come.

Proactive Planning for Your Asphalt Needs

From the moment your asphalt is laid, it begins to age. With a lifespan from 12-20 years on average, it’s vital to perform regular maintenance and practice preventative care to protect it.

Our goal is to keep your asphalt in the best condition for as long as possible. Our Pavement Management Planning is a long-term approach designed to optimize the services we offer and create a plan that’s best suited for you and your budget. Using this plan means that your asphalt reaps the benefits of each service we offer, compounded into one dedicated schedule. Combining the effects significantly extends the life of your pavement.

From routine maintenance procedures all the way up to complete pavement reconstruction, we use the services your asphalt needs at each stage of its life.

The Right Maintenance for Your Nashville Asphalt

We make sure that your pavement is not only structurally sound but also well-presented. At Rose Paving, we are dedicated to implementing the correct service for your asphalt needs, whether that means a routine check-up or more intensive maintenance. Let’s take a look at some of the services we offer to care for your pavement.

Sealcoating

When it comes to preventative maintenance procedures, sealcoating is one of the most essential ways you can keep your asphalt in top condition. As the hot summer sun in Nashville causes your pavement to fade into a dull gray color, a sealcoat returns the rich black and has your asphalt looking brand new.

Acting as a barrier to liquids, sealcoating protects asphalt from oil, gas, and chemicals, and prevents water from seeping into tiny cracks. This water can freeze during the cold weather Nashville gets over the winter, expanding and causing cracks which compromise structural integrity.

Cracksealing

Cracks in asphalt are inevitable; over time, with harsh weather and regular use, cracks appear and put your pavement at risk of further damage. Effective cracksealing is your first line of defense against more invasive damage, preventing water from entering and weakening the structure, and preserving the surrounding pavement. Paying close attention to the formation of cracks and acting on their appearance can double the life of your asphalt.

Infrared Repair

For more critical repairs, our infrared repair technology is one of the most effective solutions. Not only does it provide a seamless restoration, but it offers so many other benefits – it can be utilized any time of year, whether the Nashville weather is hot or cold; it saves time due to the speed of repair, which also means fewer traffic interruptions for your customers; the cost savings are apparent because there are less raw materials used; and many more.

Keeping Nashville’s Pavements Beautiful

When you keep your asphalt looking good, it reflects well on you, because your parking lot is the first thing your customers see when they arrive at your place of business. Making a good first impression is key, and having an attractive lot means you know how to take care of your business, plus it boosts the appeal of the area, too!

After sealcoating, consider taking advantage of Rose Paving’s parking lot striping service. Not only do bright, clean lot lines keep your asphalt parking lots looking their best, but our lot striping also helps to maximize space and improve traffic flow for a more efficient lot. We’ll also ensure that your parking lot is compliant with up-to-date ADA guidelines.
