Paving Considerations for Colorado Springs

Every area has unique characteristics. We tailor our approach to ensure your pavement is built to last in Colorado Springs.

Managing Freeze-Thaw Cycles

The biggest threat to pavement in Colorado Springs is the constant freezing and thawing. We engineer our projects with a robust, compacted aggregate base to ensure stability and prevent the cracks and potholes that plague improperly installed surfaces.

High-Altitude UV Protection

The intense sun at 6,035 feet can rapidly oxidize and break down asphalt. We use high-quality mixes and strongly recommend sealcoating to provide essential UV protection, preserving the integrity and color of your pavement.

Proper Drainage for Storms

Handling runoff from our powerful summer thunderstorms is critical. We expertly grade every project to ensure water flows away from your home or business's foundation, preventing costly water damage.

Best Paving Season in Colorado Springs

To ensure the highest quality and longest lifespan for your asphalt, we schedule projects during the optimal paving season.

Spring (Mar-May)

Good, but we carefully monitor for late-season snow and wet ground conditions to ensure the sub-base is stable.

Summer (Jun-Aug)

Ideal. Warm, dry weather allows the asphalt to be installed and cure perfectly, creating a strong, durable surface.

Fall (Sep-Oct)

Excellent. Cooler temperatures and typically dry weather provide a great window for paving before winter arrives.

Winter (Nov-Feb)

Paving is not recommended due to cold temperatures and frozen ground, which prevent proper compaction.

Asphalt Maintenance Tips for Colorado Springs

Sealcoat Every 3-4 Years

The intense, high-altitude sun in Colorado Springs is the biggest enemy of your asphalt. Professional sealcoating every 3-4 years provides essential UV protection, keeps the surface black, and prevents premature aging.

Fill Cracks Before Winter

Sealing any small cracks in the fall is the most critical step to prevent moisture from getting into the sub-base, freezing, expanding, and causing severe damage like potholes during our harsh freeze-thaw cycles.

Keep Your Pavement Clean

Regularly sweeping away dirt, gravel, and pine needles prevents abrasive wear and tear. Cleaning oil or fluid spills promptly will prevent them from softening and permanently damaging the asphalt binder.
