Reflective glass beads for paint are an essential part of the line striping process. Yet many people are unaware of these beads. Without them, headlights would not pick up painted lines and curbs. Asphalt sealcoating companies need to understand the proper application of these beads.

With the winter season approaching, asphalt maintenance contractors across the country are racing against the weather to finish up those remaining jobs.

Each fiscal year, the US federal government creates a budget to fund various services and programs for the country. To calculate the budget, the government considers its allotted money and expenditures. The budget comes from tax revenue and sale of treasury securities. Expenditures, meanwhile, consist of mandatory spending, discretionary spending, and debt interest.

The government decides how to collect and spend its money for the fiscal year, choosing programs and services that will be consumed or invested in. The federal budget is active from October 1 to September 30 each year.

Often, agencies race against the clock to spend the rest of their budget before the fiscal year ends (September 30). The uncertainty in the annual appropriations process prompts agencies to spend more on contracts than any other month of the year.

With most asphalt maintenance techniques requiring ambient temperatures over 55 degrees Fahrenheit, fall is the ideal window to get your driveway well-protected before the icy onset of damaging winter weather. Luckily, regular asphalt maintenance for the driveway at home or church parking lot needn’t be a complicated task, and we’re going to walk you through how to protect them effectively in 5 easy steps.

Trees contribute to curb appeal and property value. Additionally, they provide shade, which helps keep the surroundings cool, especially during summer months. Well-maintained trees and shrubs add beauty and appeal, while helping keep air fresh and clean. While these are some of the huge advantages of trees and plants, there are also downsides to having large trees in and around your driveways and parking lots. 

As the trees grow, they can cause the asphalt to heave up and break. Since these gaps have jagged and uneven edges, they can become tripping hazards or cause damage to car tires or undercarriage. Tree root damage can lead to injuries and accidents if not handled in a timely manner.

Asphalt cracks and gaps can develop all over an asphalt surface. It’s more common, however,  on sections where joints and seams meet, such as where asphalt edges meet the street, concrete curb, garage floor, or house foundation.

There are many possible causes of cracking, such as exposure to the weather and natural elements, freeze-thaw cycles in cold-weather locations, vehicle damage, and incorrect installation. If not filled and sealed in a timely manner, these cracks allow moisture from rain, melted snow or runoff from garden hoses to penetrate the sub-grade, as well as the foundation or basement walls, causing them to grow weak and compound the damage.
