Summer Maintenance Tips for Your Parking Lot and Driveway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Research shows that about 5% of US urban land<\/a> comprises parking spaces. Having a clean area to park and a well-maintained driveway boosts the appeal of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, maintaining your lot and a driveway is crucial to reducing injuries. The presence of cracks and potholes in such areas can lead to flat tires. People are likely to slip and fall on ill-maintained parking areas and driveways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular maintenance is vital since summer heat expands asphalt and widens cracks. Here are summer tips for maintaining your parking lots and driveways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sealcoat Your Parking Area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sealcoating involves covering your asphalt with a durable layer that improves your driveway\u2019s resistance to sun rays. Applying a sealcoat in your parking lot reduces damages like cracking and staining. Sealing the spaces where people can park every three to five years keeps it intact and lessens injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although sealcoating may seem like an unnecessary expense, it\u00a0saves you money<\/a>\u00a0eventually. Your lot and driveway will regain a fresh new look. Besides, sealcoating gives your driveway flexibility to handle traffic without creating potholes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repair Cracks and Potholes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

High summer heat causes your asphalt to become malleable and soft<\/a>. Summer temperatures can rise to 1490F, and this high heat damage causes depressions on the wheel paths. Such depressions then turn to potholes and cracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s crucial to repair your driveway and parking lot as soon as you notice any cracks and potholes. To prevent cracking from becoming extensive, ensure you fill them with asphalt or crack fillers. Hiring an expert helps you fill the potholes to limit injury cases and damages to your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perform Regular Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regular cleaning is a summer maintenance tip that ensures your parking lot and driveway retain their value. Sweeping every morning helps your remove leaves and debris, making your home look occupied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, cleaning removes oil stains and any unnecessary trash that may cover cracks or potholes. Having a clean driveway helps you conduct a faster inspection to assess any cracking and uneven surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove Stagnant Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Water can cause significant damage to your driveway or parking lot. Pooling water weakens areas where you park, causing water to seep into the sublayers. During summer, the sun\u2019s heat causes water to have air gaps that weaken the asphalt from within the sublayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since a weakened driveway can\u2019t handle weighty objects, it can become uneven and quickly develop potholes. Also, allowing water to settle on your lot eases mildew growth, affecting your parking space\u2019s quality. You can avoid further asphalt repairs by draining water and keeping your driveway space dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintain Your Parking Lot and Driveway During Summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining your parking lot and driveway helps you reduce repair costs. Moreover, regular maintenance improves your home\u2019s curb appeal. It also enables you to prevent injuries to people and damage to your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
