Time is Money, an old statement yet still true and accurate within the life of an asphalt pavement. Asphalt material placed on parking lot surfaces are expensive to place and install the asphalt. Asphalt materials have increased in price most every year, so the value of the parking lot surface is increasing each year based on the increased cost of the asphalt material.

Asphalt is an expensive material and we need to understand asphalt degrades with time and weather conditions. Here in Las Vegas we have the hot sun cooking the asphalt and drying out the surface, conversely in a northern climate the snow and freezing temperatures cause the asphalt material to degrade. Normal vehicle traffic movement and use, turning and grinding on the surface causing wear and tear. All of this happens as the asphalt ages over time. With time the asphalt becomes hard and starts to crack and the surface begins to unravel. All of this is due to time under vehicle use and these weather conditions. So yes, Time is money as the investment in the asphalt surface can be lost due the causes of traffic and weather, cracking, and degrading of the asphalt surface. Asphalt Pavements need care beginning within about 2 to 3 years. Asphalt needs to be sealed to preserve the surface. Placing a seal coat on the surface will provide protection from the traffic and weather conditions preserving the base asphalt material, preserving the investment made in the new asphalt surface.

As an asphalt owner you have invested money into your asphalt parking lot surface, and you do not want to lose this money over time due to traffic and weather degrading the asphalt surface.
