To ensure your paved surfaces remain in optimal condition year-round, here are some essential seasonal care tips from Metro Paving Inc., your premier paving experts:
Spring
Inspect for Winter Damage:
Spring is the perfect time to assess any damage caused by winter conditions, such as freezing, thawing, and ice melt chemicals. Look for cracks, potholes, or uneven surfaces that may need repair.
Clean and Seal:
Clear any debris and dirt from the surface and consider applying a fresh sealant to protect against moisture and UV damage.
Summer
Address Cracks and Seal Coating:
High temperatures can exacerbate existing cracks, so it’s crucial to repair them promptly. Consider applying a seal coat to protect the surface from sun damage and wear.
Fall
Prepare for Winter:
As temperatures drop, ensure all repairs are completed before the cold weather sets in. Proper drainage is vital to prevent water from freezing and creating ice hazards.
Winter
Manage Snow and Ice:
Regularly remove snow and ice using safe, non-damaging methods to prevent the accumulation of damaging moisture.
Year-Round

Engage a professional paving company for routine inspections and maintenance to catch minor issues before they escalate and keep your pavement looking its best year-round.
