Soils with a limited load-bearing capacity need to be stabilised so that the roads built on them will not degrade prematurely once the base fails. This article discusses some of the factors which you need to think about as you select a way to stabilise that soil prior to constructing a road surface. The Curing Time Different soil stabilisation binders, such as hydrated lime, require varying amounts of time in order to cure and create a stable subbase for a road.

Asphalt driveways have become increasingly popular over the years because of their durability and curb appeal. If you have recently installed an asphalt driveway, the contractor probably told you that it takes between 6 and 12 months for the asphalt to harden and cure. The process of caring for a new pavement becomes very crucial in summer because the temperatures are high, and the surface softens and sets as the temperatures change.
