How do I best maintain my asphalt?

To successfully maintain asphalt pavement it is important you have a regular maintenance plan in place. Pavement maintenance plans can vary in scope, but they never vary in their purpose: to increase pavement life.  A proper pavement maintenance program includes crack filling, pothole repair, sealcoating, and many other surface applications, depending on the condition of the pavement.  It should also include sweeping and periodic line striping. A well maintained asphalt pavement can last up to 20 years or more.
