“Most people think asphalt paving is simple, but it’s a complex process that affects the environment and public safety,” Wolk explains. “There’s a lot more to it than laying down asphalt; careful planning, sustainable material choices, and precise engineering all play a big role in making sure each job is safe, reliable, and eco-friendly.”
According to the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), over 100 million tons of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) are recycled each year in the U.S., making asphalt one of the most recycled materials globally. Wolk highlights the use of RAP as one way his company contributes to sustainability. “We’re recycling old asphalt into new projects. It reduces waste, cuts down material costs, and lessens energy use. By using recycled materials, we’re conserving resources and reducing the environmental impact of paving,” says Wolk.
Wolk also points out the critical role of safety and quality standards. “Every project we take on is planned to ensure proper drainage and durability, which reduces the risk of potholes and cracks. This isn’t just about customer satisfaction–it’s about preventing hazards for drivers and protecting the local infrastructure,” he says. Improperly paved roads are more prone to rapid deterioration, potentially costing communities significant amounts in repairs and creating hazards.
Weather is another challenge for asphalt companies, Wolk notes, which can sometimes compromise safety and quality. “We don’t lay asphalt unless conditions are perfect. Temperature, humidity, and even the type of soil affect the outcome,” Wolk explains. “Safety isn’t just about following rules; it’s about understanding the risks and planning each job with precision to protect everyone involved.”
In addition to sustainable practices and safety, Wolk emphasizes the importance of clear communication with customers. “Our clients might not know the technical details, but we make sure they understand why we’re making certain decisions,” he adds. “They appreciate knowing we’re going the extra mile for quality and safety, not just the bottom line.”
Through County Asphalt, Wolk continues to lead by example, combining industry expertise with a commitment to sustainable and safe practices. “We’re not just building roads; we’re creating lasting, positive impacts for our communities,” Wolk concludes.
