Commercial Paving Process

How We Handle Your Project

Every commercial paving job starts with understanding your specific needs and timeline. We’ll assess your site, discuss any drainage concerns, and plan the work around your business schedule.

Site preparation comes next. We handle excavation, grading, and base installation to create the foundation your asphalt needs to last. Proper base work prevents most of the problems you see with failed parking lots.

Then we install the asphalt using the right mix for New Jersey conditions. We pay attention to drainage slopes, compaction, and thickness to ensure your pavement handles both traffic and weather. Line striping and final details complete the project so you’re ready for business immediately.

How long does commercial paving take for a typical parking lot?

Most commercial parking lots take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Small business lots might be completed in a day or two, while larger retail centers or office complexes typically need 3-5 days. Weather affects timing since we need dry conditions for proper asphalt installation. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and coordinate the work to minimize disruption to your business operations. Rush jobs are possible for an additional fee if you need faster completion.

What's the difference between overlay and complete reconstruction?

Overlay means adding new asphalt over existing pavement that’s structurally sound but showing surface wear. It’s less expensive and faster than full reconstruction. Complete reconstruction involves removing old asphalt, addressing base issues, and installing everything new. We recommend reconstruction when you have significant cracking, base failure, or drainage problems. Overlay works well for surfaces that just need refreshing. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach for long-term results.

How thick should commercial asphalt be for heavy traffic?

Commercial parking lots typically need 3-4 inches of asphalt over a properly prepared base. Areas with heavy truck traffic or loading zones might need 4-6 inches. The base layer is equally important – usually 6-8 inches of compacted stone. Thickness depends on your specific traffic patterns, soil conditions, and intended use. Skimping on thickness to save money upfront usually leads to premature failure and higher costs later. We design each project based on your actual needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Can you work around our business hours to avoid disrupting operations?

Yes, we regularly schedule commercial projects to minimize business disruption. This might mean working evenings, weekends, or in phases so you always have some parking available. For restaurants, we often work during slower weekday periods. Retail centers might prefer weekend or evening work. The key is planning the project in sections so customers can still access your business. We’ll discuss your specific operational needs and create a schedule that works for both the paving requirements and your business demands.

How soon can vehicles drive on new commercial asphalt?

Light vehicle traffic can typically use new asphalt within 24-48 hours, but we recommend waiting 3-7 days for heavy trucks or delivery vehicles. Temperature affects curing time – hot weather means longer wait times since asphalt stays softer. We’ll mark areas that need restricted access and provide clear guidance on when different vehicle types can safely use the pavement. Driving on asphalt too early can cause permanent damage like tire marks or surface deformation that can’t be easily repaired.

What maintenance does new commercial asphalt need?

New asphalt should be sealcoated after 6-12 months, then every 2-3 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. Regular crack sealing prevents water infiltration that leads to bigger problems. Line striping typically needs refreshing every 1-2 years for high-traffic areas. Keep the surface clean and address oil stains promptly since petroleum products can soften asphalt. Snow plowing should use plastic or rubber blade edges to avoid scraping the surface. Proper maintenance doubles or triples pavement life compared to neglected asphalt.
