The Newark paving market
Major urban market; commercial and port paving. Newark has a GeoNames population of about 282,000 and sits in Essex County. The nearest city with 500,000+ residents is New York City, NY, 9 mi to the east of Newark. It is the largest of the 12 New Jersey cities in our directory.
Newark'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.
