The Lakewood paving market
Fast-growing; residential and commercial. Lakewood has a GeoNames population of about 53,800 and sits in Ocean County. The nearest city with 500,000+ residents is New York City, NY, 44 mi to the north of Lakewood. It is the 10th-largest of the 12 New Jersey cities in our directory.
Lakewood's paving season typically runs April–November (about 8 months). Campaigns should be live by February, 6 to 8 weeks before the April start, and Dec–Mar is for retargeting, early-bird sealcoating inquiries and lower-budget awareness. 11 other New Jersey cities share this season.
Cold-winter climate: Freeze-thaw cycles create a post-winter rush of pothole, crack and surface-failure repair calls, and sealcoating can only start once overnight lows stay above 50 degrees.
