Gravel Hill Asphalt Paving Contractors

We've Been Paving New Jersey Right

We’ve been handling commercial parking lot projects throughout Gravel Hill and the surrounding New Jersey area for years. We’ve seen what works and what fails when it comes to asphalt paving in this climate.

Most contractors cut corners on base preparation or use subpar materials to win bids. We don’t compete on price alone because we know you’re not looking for the cheapest option – you’re looking for the one that won’t need to be redone in two years.

Our crews understand New Jersey soil conditions, drainage requirements, and the kind of traffic loads commercial properties face. When we give you a timeline, we stick to it. When we say it’ll last, it will.

Parking Lot Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens Next

First, we evaluate your existing surface and drainage situation. If you’re dealing with an old parking lot, we determine what can be salvaged and what needs complete removal. For new installations, we assess soil conditions and plan proper base preparation.

Next comes excavation and base work – the part that determines whether your parking lot lasts five years or twenty. We remove failed asphalt, address any drainage issues, and install a properly compacted stone base that won’t shift or settle.

The paving itself happens fast, but timing matters. We coordinate with you to minimize disruption to your business operations. Most commercial parking lots can be completed in sections, so you never lose all your parking at once. Once the asphalt cures, we handle line striping and any ADA-compliant markings you need.

Asphalt Parking Lot Resurfacing

What You Get With Every Project

Every parking lot paving project includes proper site preparation, quality asphalt installation, and basic line striping. We handle permits when required and coordinate with local authorities for any street access needs.

You’ll also get a clear timeline upfront. Most commercial parking lots in Gravel Hill can be completed within a week, weather permitting. We don’t stretch projects out because we know every day of construction disrupts your business.

For existing parking lots, we often recommend resurfacing instead of complete replacement. This saves money while still giving you a surface that looks and performs like new. We’ll be honest about which option makes sense for your situation – sometimes patching and resurfacing works, sometimes you need to start over.

How long does commercial parking lot paving take to complete?

Most commercial parking lots in Gravel Hill take 3-5 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. This includes excavation, base preparation, paving, and line striping. Weather can extend timelines – we won’t pour asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too low. For larger properties, we often work in sections so you maintain some parking throughout the project. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.

Should I choose asphalt or concrete for my parking lot?

Asphalt works better for most commercial parking lots in New Jersey. It handles freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete, costs less upfront, and can be repaired more easily. Concrete makes sense for heavy-duty applications like loading docks or areas with constant truck traffic. For typical retail, office, or light industrial use, properly installed asphalt gives you the best combination of durability and cost-effectiveness. The key is proper base preparation – that matters more than whether you choose asphalt or concrete.

How much does parking lot resurfacing cost compared to replacement?

Resurfacing typically costs 40-60% less than complete replacement, but it only works if your existing base is solid. We evaluate the underlying structure to determine if resurfacing will actually last. If your parking lot has major drainage issues, deep potholes, or base failure, resurfacing just postpones bigger problems. When resurfacing works, you get a surface that looks and performs like new at significant savings. We’ll be honest about which option makes sense for your specific situation.

Can you pave around my business operations without shutting down?

Yes, most commercial parking lots can be paved in sections to maintain access for customers and employees. We coordinate timing with your business needs – many clients prefer us to work on weekends or during slower periods. The key is planning traffic flow and ensuring emergency access remains available. Some disruption is unavoidable, but we minimize it through careful scheduling and section-by-section completion. We’ll walk through logistics during the planning phase so you know exactly what to expect.

How long before I can drive on new asphalt paving?

You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, but full curing takes longer. Light vehicle traffic is usually fine after one day, but we recommend avoiding heavy trucks or sharp turns for the first week. Hot weather slows the initial curing process, so summer projects might need an extra day before opening to traffic. We’ll give you specific guidance based on weather conditions and your asphalt mix. Rushing this step can cause permanent damage to your new surface.

What warranty do you provide on parking lot paving work?

We warranty our workmanship and materials, but the specific terms depend on your project scope and conditions. Typically, you’re covered against defects in installation and premature failure due to our work. Normal wear from traffic and weather isn’t covered – that’s expected over time. The warranty also assumes reasonable maintenance like crack sealing when needed. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered before starting work. Most issues, if they occur, show up within the first year, so you’ll know quickly if there’s a problem.
