One of the most common questions property owners ask is:
“How long will my asphalt pavement last?”
The answer depends on installation quality, traffic load, and maintenance.
Average Asphalt Lifespan
-
Residential driveways: 15–20 years
-
Commercial parking lots: 12–15 years
With proper care, asphalt can exceed these averages.
Factors That Affect Longevity
-
Quality of base preparation
-
Thickness of asphalt layer
-
Drainage and water management
-
Frequency of vehicle traffic
-
Climate and weather exposure
How to Extend the Life of Asphalt
-
Sealcoat every 2–3 years
-
Repair cracks early before water intrusion
-
Keep oil and chemical spills cleaned up
-
Ensure proper drainage around paved areas
