What is Asphalt Maintenance?

The adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is also applicable to asphalt. Though installing new asphalt  may be necessary, it can be costly and is a true business investment.. Once you’ve made that investment, you want to preserve its useful life for as long as possible. One way to do that is to perform routine maintenance. 

Sealcoating can protect asphalt surfaces from intrusive and destructive oil, water, and U.V. rays. It can also seal off minute cracks, preventing them from becoming larger fissures or potholes. Sealcoating preserves the welcoming look of a well-maintained property. We recommend applying sealcoating every two to three years to preserve the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your asphalt road or commercial property. 

Another area of asphalt maintenance is striping. Striping serves multiple purposes. It streamlines and directs traffic flow, clearly indicates drivable areas, and allocates adequate vehicle spacing for parking. It is ideal for showing pedestrian crossings or walkways. Clearly defined striping adds to the safety and usability of your asphalt surfaces.

Benefits of Asphalt Maintenance

A routine asphalt maintenance program can help in the following ways:

  • Preserve your investment – Keeping your property in like-new shape prolongs the life of your asphalt surfaces.
  • Discover potential issues before they become big problems – Identifying areas of risk means you can treat them before your asphalt deteriorates, preventing expensive repairs or replacement. 
  • One-stop repair and maintenance – If our experts find areas needing minor repair, they can perform it simultaneously as the maintenance, saving you time and money. 
  • Increases safety – Clear lines and solid surfaces prevent cars from driving where they shouldn’t, clearly denote where to stop or yield, and show designated parking areas. Potholes can cause drivers to swerve, increasing the risk of an accident.
  • Makes the surface more navigable – Smooth, even surfaces are easier to drive on.
  • Preserves the aesthetic appeal – Neyra Paving can work with you to design a maintenance program that fits with your business needs, low traffic times, or off-peak business hours. It preserves the aesthetic appeal and creates a visual welcome sign to enter the property. Well-maintained asphalt roads reflect favorably on the town as a whole.


Asphalt surfaces have many advantages over other types of pavement. It costs less to build and maintain and is smoother and quieter than the alternatives. Dark asphalt with bright white or yellow lines creates a stark contrast, making it easy for drivers to follow. Asphalt lasts significantly longer than alternative paving materials when designed and constructed correctly and maintained routinely. 

What Happens When You Don’t Maintain Commercial Asphalt

It may be easier to see why a commercial asphalt maintenance program is a smart way to preserve your investment by illustrating what happens when it is not serviced periodically. Asphalt is made from an aggregate, such as sand, slag, crushed rock, gravel, or recycled materials, combined with binders and fillers. It can soften as it heats up, becoming more elastic under some conditions.

When asphalt is subjected to temperature extremes and pressure, it is subject to thinning or cracking. If rainwater, oils, or chemicals are introduced into those cracks, the solid asphalt can break down into a mealy mess. Additionally, once the subgrade is no longer protected, it can wash out, creating an even larger problem. As vehicles and equipment apply pressure, the issues are exacerbated.
