Maintaining an asphalt driveway in Denver during the winter can be a challenge, especially when it comes to dealing with snow and ice. However, with the right approach and a little bit of effort, you can keep your driveway in good condition and safe for use throughout the winter months. Here are some tips for maintaining an asphalt driveway in Denver during the winter:
- Clear snow and ice from your driveway as soon as possible after a storm. This will help prevent the weight of the snow and ice from damaging your driveway and make it easier to clear the surface.
- Use a plastic snow shovel or a snow blower to remove snow from your driveway. Avoid using metal shovels, as they can scratch and damage the surface of the asphalt.
- Apply a de-icing agent to your driveway before and after a storm to help prevent ice from forming. There are several types of deicers available, including rock salt, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when applying these products, as they can be damaging to plants and pets if used improperly.
- Use a broom or a snow rake to remove snow from the edges of your driveway. This will help prevent the snow from melting and refreezing into ice, which can make the driveway slippery and dangerous to walk on.
By following these tips and taking the time to maintain your driveway, you can keep it in good condition and safe for use during the winter months. Remember to be cautious when walking on a snowy or icy driveway, and always use caution when driving on a slippery surface.
