It can sometimes be tricky to know when asphalt issues require professional attention. Here are a few key indicators that your asphalt might need repair: Visible Cracks: Even small cracks can allow water to penetrate, leading to more significant damage over time, especially with freeze-thaw cycles in Montana. Potholes: These are obvious signs of deterioration and can pose safety hazards. Alligator Cracking: A network of interconnected cracks resembling an alligator's skin often indicates structural issues. Sinking or Uneven Areas: Depressions or low spots can trap water and suggest problems with the subgrade beneath the asphalt. * Loose Aggregate: If you notice a lot of loose stones on the surface, it could be a sign the asphalt binder is failing.

If you notice any of these signs, it's a good idea to have your asphalt inspected by professionals like LB Asphalt & Construction. We can assess the condition and recommend the most effective repair solutions to prevent further damage and extend the life of your pavement.

Proper grading is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures effective drainage, preventing water from pooling and causing erosion, foundation issues, or damage to paved surfaces. Secondly, it creates a stable and level base for construction, which is essential for the longevity and structural integrity of any built structure. Lastly, it provides a smooth and even surface for landscaping, improving aesthetics and functionality.

The lifespan of line striping depends on several factors, including traffic volume, weather conditions (especially Montana winters), the quality of paint used, and the surface it's applied to. Generally, you can expect new line striping to last anywhere from 1 to 3 years in high-traffic areas and potentially longer in lower-traffic zones. We use high-quality, durable traffic paint to maximize longevity.
