From scorching summers to freezing winters, weather is one of the biggest threats to the longevity of your pavement. Without proper materials and maintenance, asphalt surfaces can quickly crack, fade, or fail under the stress of extreme conditions.
At Tibbs Paving, we understand the challenges that Mid-Atlantic weather brings. That’s why we use proven techniques and high-quality materials to build asphalt surfaces that stand up to heat, cold, rain, and everything in between.

⚠️ How Weather Damages Asphalt
Extreme weather affects asphalt in different ways depending on the season:
🔥 Heat & UV Exposure
Causes asphalt to soften and rut
Fades surface color and weakens binder
Leads to oxidation and brittleness over time
❄️ Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Trapped water freezes and expands, causing cracks
Repeated cycles lead to potholes and base erosion
🌧️ Heavy Rain & Poor Drainage
Accelerates surface wear and edge deterioration
Creates standing water that penetrates cracks
These elements gradually break down the pavement, especially if it’s not maintained or installed properly.
🛠️ How Tibbs Paving Builds Weather-Resilient Surfaces
With over 25 years of experience, Tibbs Paving uses a combination of best practices and modern materials to ensure our asphalt surfaces are built to last—even in harsh weather conditions.
✅ 1. Proper Grading & Drainage
We ensure every surface has the right slope and base to direct water away, preventing pooling and erosion.
✅ 2. Durable Asphalt Mixes
We use high-performance asphalt formulations that are designed to resist heat softening and cracking from freeze-thaw cycles.
✅ 3. Sealcoating Protection
Regular sealcoating shields your asphalt from UV rays, water, and chemicals—extending the life of your pavement.
✅ 4. Proactive Maintenance
Our crack filling, patching, and resurfacing services help you prevent small problems from becoming big ones—especially after storm damage or seasonal stress.
