The best time to pave a driveway is highly dependent on the temperature. How fast the mix cools depends on the air and surface temperatures. For example, asphalt must be placed and compacted while it’s hot, so cold temperatures during winter aren’t ideal. According to the National Asphalt Pavement Association, since seasonal temperatures vary throughout the United States, it’s best to use average air temperatures as a guide for determining the best time to pave a driveway. The best time to pave your driveway is something you can discuss with a qualified HomePro Match paving contractor.
