Paving your driveway is not a small project, but it helps to keep it fresh and usable for many years to come. Because it’s a big project; you need to plan the best time to pave. There are many different factors to consider.
Proper driveway paving requires temperatures to be at a certain level. For a top layer, the temperature should be more than 50 degrees F. The warmer, the better. Some areas will use a cold-mix style paving mixture to work in colder weather, but the end product is not the same.
While it is best to have hotter weather, it is a problem to have scorching temperatures. Severe temperatures make paving more challenging and are why the peak of the summer is not recommended for paving projects. High temperatures keep the pavement hot, causing it to be marked up by other cars driving over it and can also cause warping as the pavement tends to need more time to dry.
The rainy season is not a time to pave your driveway. It may seem logical, but many customers request paving during this period of the year. While you can pave in the rain, you get much better results during the dry season. Additionally, the dry season tends to meet the temperature requirements.
For many places around the world, one of the best times to pave your driveway is in October. The weather isn’t sweltering, but at the same time, it is warm enough to meet the minimum temperature required. Most places are also not in the rainy season in October. You might experience a few drizzles, but as long as the rain is not sustained, your driveway will be okay.
If you are looking to get your driveway paved sometime soon, October will be a perfect time to do it.
