• Answer: In hot, dry conditions blading the road only temporarily removes the potholes. The potholes, and washboards, along with even more dust, will reoccur shortly after blading. We make every effort to take advantage of temperatures and a steady rainfall, and blade with they are within an appropriate range. If it is to hot, using a water truck along with the blade does not ensure that we will be able to keep an adequate amount of moisture on the road.
