As temperatures drop and winter settles in, asphalt paving naturally slows down. Snow, ice, and cold weather make it impossible to lay quality asphalt — which means December isn’t the month for paving, but it is the perfect month for planning.
At Total Asphalt Paving, we spend this season helping property managers, business owners, and municipalities prepare for the year ahead. And with spring schedules filling earlier every year, getting your project on our radar now ensures smoother, faster pavement upgrades when the weather breaks.
If you’re responsible for keeping roads, lots, or commercial properties in top condition, here’s why winter is the ideal time to get started.
1. Winter Planning = Faster Spring Project Star
Once spring arrives, commercial paving projects surge — and availability becomes limited. By evaluating your needs in December, you unlock:
- Earlier placement on our spring schedule
- Faster turnaround when paving season begins
- Time to finalize logistics, budgeting, and scope
Even though we can’t pour asphalt today, we can assess your site, review blueprints, conduct onsite estimates, and lock in your project details long before the paving season rush.
2. A Perfect Time for Estimates, Budgets & Forecasting
Winter is the season when many commercial properties review budgets, plan capital improvements, and prepare for the next fiscal year. Total Asphalt Paving provides:
- Detailed, accurate estimates
- Blueprint review
- Project recommendations
- Cost-effective planning for the year ahead
This preparation ensures there are no surprises come spring — just a smooth transition from planning to breaking ground.
3. Get Ahead of Repairs Before They Become Bigger Problems
Cold weather can worsen existing pavement issues. Freeze–thaw cycles expand cracks, deepen potholes, and weaken base structures. If your roadways or parking lots are already showing early signs of wear, getting an evaluation now helps you understand:
- What damage winter may cause
- What repairs will be needed
- Whether resurfacing, patching, or full reconstruction is best
A proactive assessment today prevents reactive spending tomorrow.
4. Our Equipment & Team Are Ready the Moment Weather Allows
Total Asphalt Paving continues to maintain and prepare our full fleet of commercial paving equipment throughout winter. Regular service, calibration, and inspections ensure every machine is ready to go as soon as the weather warms — meaning your project doesn’t wait.
