Driveway Care Tips
New driveways tend to get soft with warm weather. Avoid excessive twisting of the wheels, hard turns, and sharp objects on the driveway. This includes barbeques, lawn chairs, flower pots, etc. You can prevent this by putting some plywood or another sturdy, flat surface underneath the sharper objects like barbeque legs, chair legs, kick stands, jacks from trailers, and even the tires of vehicles that are not moved. The tire marks from wheel twisting will go away with time. Just be patient.
Avoid parking in the same spot for long periods of time and on the edges of the driveway. Edges may not have any support on the side and will give way with the weight of the vehicle. |
Any water spouts or eaves troughs near the driveway should flow over the driveway and not on the side of the driveway.
Driveways exposed to direct sunlight for longer periods of time tend to stay soft longer.
It takes over two summers for the asphalt to really get hard so do not be alarmed if tire marks and other surface blemishes don't go away as quickly. That shouldn't prevent you from parking normally on your driveway. Just take good care of it in the beginning and your driveway should have a longer life.
