Local Planning Factors
Planning Asphalt for South Florida's Climate
South Florida heat, heavy rain, and prolonged moisture exposure can accelerate surface oxidation and reveal drainage weaknesses.
Plantation projects should account for heavy rainfall, runoff paths, swales, impervious-area changes, and the condition of the supporting base when comparing maintenance, repair, or replacement scopes. Ask prospective paving professionals how their proposed base, drainage, mix, and maintenance plan address the property’s actual conditions.
Surface Protection PlanningAsk whether the pavement is structurally sound enough for sealcoating and what preparation and crack treatment are included.
Traffic and Load PlanningParking lots and access lanes may need different base, thickness, phasing, and compaction assumptions based on expected use.
