Wolf Paving completed a commercial asphalt pavement parking lot removal and installation for three commercially leased buildings in Madison, Wisconsin, located off of Crossroads Drive, in the High Crossing Business Center on the Eastside of Madison. 

Repaving the asphalt in your parking lot or playground is a significant project that can come with an even more significant price tag. 

Luckily, careful planning and preventative maintenance can keep both your asphalt pavement and your budget in good shape.

How often should you budget for a repaving project?

Whether you own a property that houses your own business, or a rental property that others use, keeping your maintenance costs down is always a top priority. At the same time, keeping your parking lot and any other paved surfaces in good condition is important for both aesthetic and safety reasons.

Fatigue cracking, which is also known as ‘alligator’ or ‘crocodile’ cracking, is one of the most common ways that asphalt pavement can deteriorate over time. The cracking patterns caused are extremely distinctive and resemble the scales on a reptile's back or the cracking you'd see if you dropped a hard-boiled egg.

As we’ve highlighted previously, the asphalt paving contractor experts at Wolf Paving were recently featured on WTMJ's "Mr. Fit-It" radio show for a one-hour interview with Milwaukee's own Tom Feiza. The program offers weekly advice on everything from home repair and improvements to do-it-yourself projects.
