Fernwood’s seasonal climate demands specific approaches to asphalt work. We schedule projects during optimal weather windows and adapt our methods for local soil conditions and drainage requirements. Our year-round availability means we can handle emergency repairs when you need them most.

With proper installation and maintenance, asphalt surfaces in Fernwood typically last 20-30 years. The key factors are quality base preparation, proper drainage design, and using materials suited for our local climate conditions.
Our harsh winters with freeze-thaw cycles can be tough on poorly installed asphalt, but when the foundation is prepared correctly and quality materials are used, your surface will handle decades of seasonal changes. We’ve seen our installations from 20+ years ago still performing well because we don’t compromise on the preparation phase.
Regular maintenance like crack sealing and sealcoating every 3-5 years can extend the life even further, protecting your investment and maintaining curb appeal.
The optimal paving season in Fernwood runs from late spring through early fall, typically May through October, when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F during installation and curing.
Asphalt needs warm temperatures to compact properly and achieve maximum durability. Cold weather installation can lead to poor compaction, premature cracking, and shortened lifespan. We monitor weather forecasts carefully and won’t schedule paving if conditions aren’t ideal.
During winter months, we focus on excavation, foundation work, and emergency repairs when absolutely necessary. Planning your project for the proper season ensures you get the quality results that will last for decades.
Proper drainage is critical in Fernwood due to our heavy spring rains and snow melt. We design every driveway with appropriate slope and grading to direct water away from your home’s foundation and prevent pooling on the asphalt surface.
During site assessment, we identify any existing drainage problems and incorporate solutions like catch basins, culverts, or French drains as needed. Poor drainage is one of the leading causes of premature asphalt failure, so we address it upfront rather than dealing with costly repairs later.
Our local experience means we understand how water moves across Fernwood properties and can anticipate potential issues before they become problems. Proper drainage design is included in every project, not treated as an expensive add-on.
You work directly with the owner from your first call through project completion—no sales teams, no middlemen, no confusion about who’s responsible. After 25+ years in business, I’m personally invested in every project’s success.
