How Long Does Asphalt Paving Last?

Generally, asphalt pavement lasts between 10 and 25 years. However, the real lifespan depends on many different factors. To calculate how long your asphalt pavement will last, consider the following factors:

1. The Traffic Intensity

How much pressure is the asphalt pavement under? Do heavy vehicles drive over it daily? Or maybe one car is parked on the pavement overnight. The more traffic your asphalt pavement endures, the shorter the lifespan is.

You can extend the surface’s life by arranging regular inspections and maintenance. However, with heavy traffic, the asphalt is unlikely to last more than 10 years.

2. Quality of Installation

Proper installation is the key to asphalt’s longevity. For example, without proper edging, the surface may start breaking down within weeks after installation. Or if you decide to install the asphalt when the weather is too humid or rainy, you may have a tough time doing it properly.

Meanwhile, using the asphalt surface before it has sufficient time to dry could lead to damage. It will eventually result in cracks, holes, and other issues.

3. Proper Maintenance

Even though asphalt paving is highly durable, it requires regular maintenance to last longer. Without due attention, a small overlooked crack can turn into a pothole within weeks.

Timely inspections, regular cleaning, and high-quality repair are an integral part of asphalt maintenance. The maximum life expectancy can’t be achieved without them. The more beating your asphalt pavement takes, the closer maintenance it requires.

4. Climate

The asphalt’s lifespan depends on the weather it has to endure. The ideal climate for such pavement is warm temperatures, minimum rain, and absence of temperature fluctuations. In Southern California, asphalt suffers from heat and precipitation.

Heat causes cracks in the pavement. Water seeps in and erodes the sub-surface layers. As a result, an air gap forms beneath the pavement, creating a pothole.

Where Do You Plan To Install Asphalt?

Your asphalt’s lifespan depends on where and how you plan to use it.

Residential driveway — since the driveway doesn’t endure too much traffic, you can expect the pavement to last up to 25 years. But only if it’s a new construction. Repaved driveways last about 10 to 15 years.
Parking lots — depending on the type of vehicles that enter your parking lot, the pavement can last between 15 and 25 years. Regular heavy truck traffic may reduce the lifespan. Without proper maintenance, parking lot pavement can deteriorate after as little as 5 years.
Residential streets — asphalt pavement on low-traffic streets lasts about 20 years before the need to resurface.
Highways — since these roads take a heavy beating, they may need resurfacing after 10 to 15 years.

The experienced professionals at Brothers Paving keep every aspect of the job in mind, making sure to pave at the right temperatures and avoiding costly changes due to improper management of asphalt.
