Beat the heat before it beats your pavement.
Georgia summers are no joke—scorching heat, intense UV rays, and sudden storms take a toll on everything, especially your asphalt. Whether it’s a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot, high temperatures can cause warping, raveling, soft spots, and surface deterioration.
The solution? Invest in heat-resistant asphalt paving solutions that are built to withstand Southern summers and last for years.
At Reid Paving, Inc., we specialize in asphalt formulations, application techniques, and maintenance strategies that hold up to heat, humidity, and everything else Georgia throws at your pavement.
☀️ What Georgia Heat Does to Asphalt
As temperatures climb into the 90s and beyond, your asphalt faces serious threats:
Softening & rutting: Asphalt can become pliable in high heat, causing indentations and ruts.
Oxidation & brittleness: UV rays dry out and break down the binders in asphalt, leading to cracks and surface damage.
Faster wear & fading: Extreme sun accelerates the fading of dark asphalt and striping paint.
Expansion & cracking: The constant cycle of heating and cooling causes expansion stress, which leads to surface cracks and joint separation.
That’s why proper materials and proactive maintenance are non-negotiable in the South.
🛠️ What Makes Asphalt Heat-Resistant?
Modern asphalt technology has advanced to meet the needs of hot climates like Georgia. Here’s how we protect your pavement from the heat:
1. High-Performance Mixes
We use hot-mix asphalt designed for regional temperature extremes. These mixes are more flexible and better able to handle thermal stress.
2. Modified Binders
Polymer-modified asphalt binders improve elasticity and resist softening in hot weather, reducing the risk of rutting and cracking.
3. Proper Compaction
During installation, we ensure precise compaction levels to minimize air voids and reduce the risk of soft spots and heat-induced damage.
4. UV-Resistant Sealcoating
Applying a professional-grade sealcoat creates a protective layer that reflects UV rays, prevents oxidation, and extends the life of the pavement.
🏡 Residential Heat-Resistant Driveways
For homeowners, a driveway that lasts through years of heat and sun exposure saves money and reduces frustration.
