Default Paving Driveway: Minimum Outside Temp's. ?

In ,
Bob typed:
Hello,

Live outside of Boston,

For a typical home complete driveway re-do, can the hot
asphalt be put down in the Fall season O.K. ?

Or, should it be done only in the hot summer months.

Paving Contractor says they do it thru late Nov. !

Any minimum outside temp's involved for a "good" job" to
be done ?
Thoughts on ?

Thanks,
Bob


Wow: That depends on so many factors and you've given so little iniformation
your only hope is to call the contractors and ask them in your area. Here
you're going to get opinions about NY, Maine, Ca, Tx, Fl, and gosh knows
where else. Also, keep in mind that "asphalt is not asphalt" in a way
similar to grades of gasoliine are not the same octane ratings. The
materials are mixed for the area/temps they're gonig to be used in.
