Have you recently invested in a new asphalt parking lot or driveway and want to ensure that it lasts? A quality asphalt pavement can last an average of 15-20 years in southeast Wisconsin. The freeze/thaw cycles, along with the type of soil underneath thebase stone are main factors in the life of the pavement. In areas where the freeze/thaw cycle is not as much of a concern, the life expectancy is longer.

Wolf Paving recommends regular maintenance and upkeep to help keep your asphalt protected and to get the most out of your investment. Following these tips can increase the lifespan of your asphalt pavement to 25+ years.

With global climate change in the media on a daily basis, green building practices and green construction are in high demand. This practice permeates all aspects of building and construction, from residential to commercial ventures, building to remodeling--and even landscaping and paving. As a business owner, you may be looking for ways that you can make your business a greener, more socially responsible establishment.

Green asphalt pavement and green asphalt repair is one way that you can accomplish this goal. As you'll see, green asphalt is not only socially and environmentally responsible; it's also fiscally sensible and good for your bottom line.

Whether you are the owner of an asphalt driveway or an asphalt parking lot in Wisconsin, you understand that this past winter’s severe weather in addition to repeat use has wreaked havoc on surfaces that were poorly installed or maintained. If you allow your driveway or parking lot to deteriorate, it results in expensive repairs, such as complete rebuilding -- a process that involves ripping out the asphalt and beginning repair at the rocky substrate. It's far less expensive to protect asphalt with regular sealcoating and occasional asphalt paving overlays.

Sealcoating versus asphalt paving: which is the most long-lasting and cost effective solution? Most professionals agree that both applications are essential to preventing asphalt cracks, fissures, and the premature need for asphalt repairs.
