A soft subgrade increases excavation depth and requires more base material. That alone adds <strong>$1\u2013$2 per sq. ft.<\/strong>\n            <\/p>\n            \n        <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"bg-white p-6 rounded-xl border border-slate-200 shadow-sm hover:shadow-md transition\">\n            <div class=\"text-3xl mb-3\">\u2600\ufe0f<\/div>\n            <h3 class=\"font-bold text-slate-900 text-lg mb-2\">2.2 Extreme UV &#038; Temp<\/h3>\n            <p class=\"text-sm text-slate-600\">\n                Surface temperatures routinely exceed 140\u00b0F, accelerating oxidation and binder hardening. We often specify <strong>Polymer-modified asphalt binder<\/strong> to resist rutting. Higher-quality mix = higher material cost.\n            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"bg-white p-6 rounded-xl border border-slate-200 shadow-sm hover:shadow-md transition\">\n            <div class=\"text-3xl mb-3\">\u26c8\ufe0f<\/div>\n            <h3 class=\"font-bold text-slate-900 text-lg mb-2\">2.3 Drainage (The Pavement Killer)<\/h3>\n            <p class=\"text-sm text-slate-600\">\n                Florida&#8217;s torrential rainfall requires proper cross slope (minimum 2%) and edge containment. Standing water destroys asphalt faster than heavy traffic.
