Your Paved Surfaces and the Impact of Seasonal Changes

At HTS Surfacing we understand that protecting your pavement from the ebbs and flows of the seasons is critical, yet many homeowners and property managers overlook the profound influence weather can have on their driveways and walkways and paved surfaces. From the sweltering heat of summer to the biting cold of winter, and the precipitation patterns that accompany them, each season brings its unique challenges to the integrity and appearance of your surfaces.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the essential steps for seasonal paving care to ensure your paved surfaces remain in top condition throughout the year. Practical advice tailored to homeowners, property managers, and DIY enthusiasts alike will set the stage for proactive pavement care and maintenance.

Understanding Weather Impact on Pavements

As a premier nationwide and independent Asphalt and Tarmac contractor, HTS Surfacing has seen firsthand the effects of the weather on paved surfaces across the UK’s diverse climates. Our expert team shares insights into the threats each season poses to your driveways and pavements.

The Heat of Summer

Summer’s high temperatures can cause asphalt or tarmac to soften and become more pliable. This may create ruts or depressions from vehicles, especially if parked for extended periods. Learn how to prevent such damage and manage the heat’s impact on your pavement.

Winter’s Chill

Conversely, winter temperatures can lead to freezing and thawing cycles that are notorious for creating potholes and cracks. Detailing the best practices, including the vital timing of repairs, can save extensive costs and preserve the surface’s lifespan.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Rain, while necessary, brings the threat of water penetration into subsurface layers. Proper drainage and sealant applications are your best defense, and this is where the expertise of HTS Surfacing comes in handy.

Pre-Season Preparation

Setting the stage before the arrival of harsh weather conditions is a crucial part of protecting your investment. Whether it’s ensuring proper drainage before the monsoon rains or crack-sealing ahead of the winter freeze, HTS Surfacing’s preventive strategies will keep you one step ahead.

Postseason Repair and Maintenance

After each season takes its toll, it’s vital to address any issues promptly. Our guide will cover how to assess damage and prioritise repairs to restore and maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your paved surfaces.
