Pavement maintenance refers to a set of activities aimed at preserving the quality and longevity of pavement surfaces, such as roads, parking lots, and walkways. These activities include crack sealing, patching, sealcoating, and line striping. By performing regular pavement maintenance, the risk of damage from water, UV rays, and general wear and tear can be reduced, which can extend the lifespan of the pavement surface and save money on costly repairs. Pavement maintenance is typically performed by professional contractors and can be scheduled on a regular basis to ensure the ongoing health of the pavement surface.
