The Trenton paving market
State capital; government and residential. Trenton has a GeoNames population of about 84,200 and sits in Mercer County. The nearest city with 500,000+ residents is Philadelphia, PA, 29 mi to the southwest of Trenton. It is the 8th-largest of the 12 New Jersey cities in our directory.
Trenton'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.
