Winter asphalt maintenance must include patching potholes. A couple of months ago we covered Pothole Patrol: Spotlight On Cities That Give You A Way To Report Dangerous Asphalt but what are you doing about your blacktop? Having a gaping hole on your driveway or parking lot is just as dangerous to passers-by, vehicles, and snow removal equipment. As if that is not enough, the costly damage to your pavement from snow, ice, freeze-thaw cycles, shovels, and plows will bring a frighteningly high spring repair bill. There is an easy fix, no worries, here’s what to do!

As a business or property owner/manager, you always want to make sure that your premises are safe for your employees and your customers. So you ensure that your building follows the city's fire code, the elevators are always working, and that all tripping and fall hazards are eliminated.

Starting an asphalt business can feel like diving headfirst into a concrete jungle. Handling heavy equipment, managing projects, and securing clients may feel daunting initially, but the right tools and strategies can help you cruise toward success faster than you can patch a pothole.

Repairing asphalt is hands-down the best way to extend its lifespan. It's the most durable, long-lasting way to fix damaged asphalt pavement, and best of all, it's easy to do. Learn more about why it's a good choice and how to use it to benefit your business in this article.

Liquid deicers (also known as liquid ice melters) will change how you react to a winter storm warning. Now you can get out there and do something about the coming snow, sleet, and freezing rain, before the storm front hits.

You can forget about staring out the window, waiting, watching, wondering when you need to shovel or plow or salt. You just get out there and spray the liquid ice melt on sidewalks, driveways, stairs, and parking areas and you are ready for up to the first 2 inches of snow.

Potholes are the bane of drivers everywhere in a world of crumbling roads and jarring commutes. But where others see nuisance bumps, you see opportunities.

Looking for a career that combines independence, growth, and the ability to make an impact and a difference in your community and surrounding areas? Asphalt maintenance may be your road to success.

As we race into 2025, the asphalt industry is like the road—always in motion and full of opportunities to build, expand, and thrive. There’s never been a better time to dive in.

In the asphalt sealcoating business, the competition is more rigid than a fresh layer of cured pavement. Sealing driveways is part of the job, but you also build a reputation and brand within your business—something customers can remember, recommend, and appreciate. Being an expert at what you do is a minor portion of your asphalt sealcoating business. You must also look the part and make people confident in choosing your services.

2025 promises to be a decisive year for asphalt contractors seeking new opportunities. But here’s the deal: there’s more to a successful asphalt business than having the best equipment or smoothing the most potholes in a neighborhood. The asphalt industry is competitive. Mastering the art of sales separates thriving asphalt businesses from those stuck in the slow lane.
