Parking Lot Installation Process

How We Build Your New Parking Lot

First, we evaluate your site and discuss your specific needs – traffic volume, drainage concerns, timeline, and budget. No cookie-cutter proposals here.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This foundation work determines how long your parking lot will last, so we don’t cut corners. We grade for proper drainage and compact the base to commercial standards.

Then we install the asphalt in lifts, using commercial-grade materials designed for your traffic load. After the surface cures, we handle line striping, ADA compliance markings, and any final details. You get a parking lot ready for business, not a surface that needs babying for weeks.

What's Included in Your Parking Lot Project

Every parking lot paving project includes site preparation, proper base installation, commercial-grade asphalt application, and professional line striping. We handle the permits, coordinate with local utilities if needed, and ensure ADA compliance.

For Belle Mead properties, we pay special attention to drainage design. The area’s clay soils and seasonal weather patterns require specific approaches to prevent water damage and frost heaving. We also factor in your business operations – retail centers need different traffic flow than office complexes.

Whether you need complete parking lot installation, asphalt resurfacing of an existing lot, or targeted repairs, we match the solution to your actual situation and budget. No overselling, no unnecessary work.

Most commercial parking lots take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. A small office building might be done in 2-3 days, while a large retail center could take a week or more. Weather affects timing – we won’t pour asphalt in rain or extreme temperatures because it compromises quality. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions change. The key is planning around your business needs so we minimize disruption during your busy periods.
Resurfacing means applying a new asphalt layer over your existing surface – it works when the base is still solid but the top is worn or cracked. Complete replacement involves removing everything down to the base and starting fresh. Resurfacing costs about half as much and takes less time, but only works if the underlying structure is sound. We’ll assess your current lot and recommend the most cost-effective approach. Sometimes a partial replacement of problem areas plus resurfacing of the rest makes the most sense.
Commercial parking lot paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot for new installation, with resurfacing costing $2-4 per square foot. The wide range depends on site conditions, thickness requirements, drainage needs, and access challenges. A 10,000 square foot lot might cost $30,000-50,000 for complete installation. We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your specific site. Factors like excavation depth, base material requirements, and striping complexity all affect the final price.
Yes, when installed properly with the right materials and thickness for your climate. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on asphalt, but commercial-grade installation with proper base preparation handles it well. We use mix designs suited for local conditions and ensure adequate drainage to prevent ice damage. The key is proper thickness – typically 3-4 inches for commercial lots – and quality base work. Cheap installations that skimp on base preparation or asphalt thickness will crack within a few years, but properly built lots last 15-20 years with basic maintenance.
Yes, professional line striping and ADA compliance are included with every parking lot project. We handle handicap spaces, access aisles, directional arrows, and any custom markings you need. ADA requirements are specific about space dimensions, signage placement, and access routes – we know the current standards and ensure your lot meets them. We use high-quality paint designed for durability and visibility. If you’re updating an existing lot, we can also re-stripe without full repaving to improve traffic flow or add spaces.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions – typically May through October. Asphalt needs temperatures above 50°F for proper installation and curing. Summer can be ideal because warm weather helps asphalt compact well, but we avoid extremely hot days when material becomes difficult to work with. Fall is often perfect because temperatures are moderate and rain is less frequent. We can work in cooler weather if needed, but spring and fall generally provide the most consistent conditions for quality results.
