Your asphalt driveway will give you many years of service. Stasi Brothers recommends avoiding the following:
- Turning your wheels while stopped on the blacktop within the first month. This can cause a crease or depression in the asphalt.
- Parking heavy objects for extended times. If you must park a camper for instance, place a piece of plywood on the driveway first.
- Lawn furniture, high heels, jack stands, BBQ's, kick stands and car ramps will all sink into the surface and should be avoided. If needed just simply put a piece of wood underneath.
- Heavy vehicles of all types should be avoided. Garbage trucks and oil trucks are most frequent offenders.
- Chemicals of all types should be avoided. Gasoline, diesel fuel, oil, antifreeze and harsh cleaners will dissolve the asphalt.
*Remember that your driveway is softer in warm weather and this is the time to be more cautious.
