Why Goodville’s Limestone Karst Terrain Matters for Your Pavement

This sits on Lancaster County’s extensively documented karst limestone terrain (PA Geological Survey, Kochanov 1990) — the same carbonate bedrock that makes this farmland so fertile can also mean uneven subgrade settling that looks like ordinary cracking but is actually a base issue. Southeastern and central Pennsylvania see 25-35 freeze-thaw cycles per season, and PennDOT officially defines the Freeze/Thaw Period as February 15 through April 15 in Publication 23. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands about 9%, and widens the crack — repeat that thirty times a winter and a quarter-inch crack becomes a pothole by spring.

Is asphalt or concrete better for a driveway?
Asphalt costs less upfront and is easier to patch or reseal; concrete lasts longer with less maintenance but costs more and is harder to repair. Tony and Joe can walk through which fits your situation.

What’s the best time of year to pave a driveway in Pennsylvania?
Late spring through early fall, when daytime temps stay reliably above 50°F. Asphalt doesn’t compact properly in cold weather.

When can I park in my new driveway after paving?
Give it 2-3 days minimum before regular traffic. Avoid sharp turns or parking in the same spot repeatedly during the first 30 days while it fully cures.
