Asphalt Paving Timetable
Looking for a Window of Opportunity to Install Driveway Asphalt?
We can help. Homeowners often ask asphalt contractors if there is a best time of year to lay down asphalt. Yes there is. All other factors being equal (that is, the temperature of the delivered asphalt being 300 degrees F and final temperature 174 F), there are certain standards for when and how long it takes to install driveway asphalt.
The rule of thumb is that the colder the temperature and the lesser the depth of asphalt, the less time the contractor has to work with it. The best window of opportunity is shown in blue in the table; the cautionary time in yellow; and the unrecommended time in red.
