Pavement considerations in Bakersfield

Much of California has long, hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. In summer, the sun dries out and ages asphalt. In winter, the rain arrives all at once and tests drainage. Inland and valley areas get the most heat and sun, while the coast stays milder but damper. So two things matter most here: sealcoating for sun protection, and good drainage for the wet season.

Summer UV oxidation and heat

Months of strong, dry sun bake the binder out of asphalt, graying and embrittling the surface — especially in inland and Central Valley heat.

Concentrated winter rain

Most rain falls in a short wet season, so drainage systems face heavy demand all at once. Poorly graded lots flood and water works into every summer-formed crack.

Crack growth between wet and dry cycles

Pavement dries and shrinks through summer, then takes on water in winter. That swing widens cracks, so sealing them before the rains matters.
