🧾 Asphalt Maintenance Checklist for Property Managers

Protect your property and your budget with regular pavement care.

If you're a property manager responsible for commercial lots, HOA roads, or multi-use developments, you know that asphalt maintenance is more than just cosmetic—it’s about safety, cost control, and asset value. A neglected surface can lead to potholes, trip hazards, drainage issues, and expensive repairs.

At Tibbs Paving, we’ve been working with property managers across Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic for over 25 years. This simple checklist will help you keep your pavement in great shape—and avoid surprises down the road.

✅ Annual Asphalt Maintenance Checklist

1. Conduct a Visual Inspection (Spring & Fall)

• Look for cracks, potholes, surface wear, or fading striping

• Check for drainage issues or standing water

• Note crumbling edges, oil stains, or surface “alligator” cracking

• Document damage and take photos for your records

💡 Tip: Use this inspection as a baseline for planning repairs and budgeting.

2. Sealcoat Every 2–3 Years

• Protects against UV rays, water, oil, and oxidation

• Extends pavement life by 3–5 years

• Improves curb appeal for tenants, customers, and residents

Tibbs Paving provides professional sealcoating tailored to your property’s traffic levels and environment.

3. Fill Cracks Annually

• Prevents water from penetrating and weakening the base

• Reduces risk of potholes and major surface failure

• Ideal for cracks ¼" to ¾" wide

We use high-performance crack filling solutions that outlast basic DIY products.

4. Repair Potholes Promptly

• Potholes are a safety hazard and worsen with time

• Create liability risks and damage vehicles

• Can be fixed with infrared patching or full-depth repairs

🚧 Don’t delay pothole repairs—they grow quickly and cost more later.

5. Keep Pavement Clean

• Sweep regularly to remove dirt, leaves, and debris

• Power wash or spot-clean oil and chemical stains

• Remove weeds from cracks and edges

Clean pavement lasts longer and improves property appearance.

6. Refresh Line Striping

• Maintain clear, bright lines for traffic flow and safety

• Repaint ADA markings, directional arrows, fire lanes, and crosswalks

• Faded striping can cause confusion and legal compliance issues

Ask about Tibbs Paving’s ADA-compliant striping services to stay up to code.

7. Inspect Drainage Systems

• Check for blocked grates or erosion near curbs

• Make sure water is flowing away from pavement

• Plan drainage upgrades if needed to prevent long-term damage

We can help design or improve drainage solutions to keep your lot dry and stable.

🏢 Why This Checklist Matters

• Avoid emergency repairs and budget surprises

• Protect tenants, residents, and visitors from safety risks

• Enhance curb appeal and first impressions for your property
