🌱 Spring Asphalt Checklist: What to Fix After Winter

Essential maintenance tips from Lancaster Lines & Asphalt

Winter in Pennsylvania can be rough on your pavement. As temperatures rise and snow melts, now’s the perfect time to inspect your asphalt and address any damage before it gets worse. Here’s a quick spring asphalt maintenance checklist to protect your investment and keep your surfaces looking great.

✅ 1. Inspect for Cracks

Freeze-thaw cycles can create or expand cracks in your driveway or lot. Small cracks let in water, leading to major damage.
📍 Fix it: Schedule crack filling early before they grow.

✅ 2. Check for Potholes or Surface Breaks

Salt, plows, and ice can cause surface deterioration and potholes. These are both dangerous and costly if left untreated.
📍 Fix it: Our pothole repair services restore safety and structure.

✅ 3. Clean the Surface

Remove salt, dirt, and debris that built up over winter. A clean surface allows for proper inspection, bonding of sealants, and improved appearance.
📍 Tip: Ask about surface prep and cleaning services before sealcoating.

✅ 4. Evaluate Faded Striping

Winter wear can dull or erase parking lot lines and ADA markings. Clear striping improves safety and traffic flow.
📍 Fix it: Spring is ideal for line striping and re-marking.

✅ 5. Plan for Sealcoating

Sealcoating protects your asphalt from UV rays, rain, and future cracking. Spring is the best time to apply it before summer heat arrives.
📍 Fix it: Book early to beat the rush — sealcoating season fills up fast!
