A Parking Lot Your Business Deserves

Your parking lot is the first thing customers see when they visit your business. A smooth, well-maintained surface sends the right message about your company’s attention to detail and professionalism.

When we complete your parking lot paving project, you get more than just fresh asphalt. You get a surface designed to handle Hillside’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or settling. Proper drainage keeps water from pooling and creating ice hazards in winter.

The result is a parking lot that looks professional, functions safely, and lasts for years without constant repairs. Your customers notice the difference, and your maintenance headaches disappear.

Parking Lot Paving Process

How We Handle Your Project

Every parking lot project starts with a site evaluation. We assess your current surface, drainage situation, and traffic patterns to determine the best approach for your specific needs.

Next comes proper preparation. This means excavating to the right depth, installing a solid stone base, and ensuring proper grading for drainage. Most parking lot problems start with shortcuts during this phase.

Once the base is properly prepared and compacted, we install the asphalt in lifts using the right temperature and compaction techniques. The final step includes any necessary striping and marking to complete your professional parking lot.

We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your business operations. Most commercial parking lot paving can be scheduled during off-hours or completed in phases to maintain customer access.

Asphalt Parking Lot Installation

Complete Parking Lot Solutions

Our parking lot paving services cover everything from new installation to complete resurfacing. We handle site preparation, proper base installation, asphalt paving, and final striping and marking.

For Hillside businesses, we pay special attention to drainage design. New Jersey’s weather patterns can quickly destroy a parking lot that doesn’t shed water properly. We grade and slope your parking lot to direct water away from the surface and your building.

We also ensure ADA compliance with proper accessibility features, including handicap parking spaces, ramp access, and appropriate signage. Your parking lot meets all local requirements while providing safe, convenient access for all customers.

Whether you need new construction, complete reconstruction, or resurfacing over existing asphalt, we have the equipment and experience to handle commercial parking lot projects of any size.

How long does commercial parking lot paving take to complete?

Most commercial parking lot paving projects take 2-5 days depending on size and scope. New installation requires more time for excavation and base preparation, while resurfacing existing lots can often be completed faster. We work with you to schedule the project during times that minimize disruption to your business. Many projects can be done in phases, allowing you to maintain customer access throughout the process. Weather conditions can affect timing, as asphalt installation requires dry conditions and appropriate temperatures.

What's the difference between asphalt resurfacing and complete reconstruction?

Resurfacing involves applying a new layer of asphalt over an existing surface that’s structurally sound but showing surface wear. This works when the base is solid and drainage is adequate. Complete reconstruction means removing the old asphalt, addressing any base issues, and installing new asphalt from the ground up. We recommend reconstruction when there are significant drainage problems, base failures, or extensive cracking and settling. The right choice depends on your current lot’s condition and your long-term needs.

How do you ensure proper drainage in New Jersey's climate?

Proper drainage starts with correct grading and slope design during installation. We create slopes that direct water away from your building and toward appropriate drainage areas. In areas prone to standing water, we may recommend catch basins or additional drainage infrastructure. The asphalt mix and compaction techniques also affect how water moves across the surface. Poor drainage is one of the fastest ways to destroy a parking lot in New Jersey’s freeze-thaw climate, so we pay careful attention to water management in every project.

Can you work around our business hours to minimize disruption?

Yes, we regularly schedule commercial parking lot projects during off-hours, weekends, or times when your business has lower traffic. For larger projects, we can often work in phases, completing sections while leaving others accessible for customers and deliveries. We discuss your specific operational needs during the planning phase and create a schedule that works for your business. Some projects can even be designed so that you maintain partial access throughout the construction process.

How long should a properly installed parking lot last?

A properly installed commercial parking lot should last 15-20 years with appropriate maintenance. The lifespan depends on factors like traffic volume, vehicle types, weather exposure, and maintenance practices. Regular sealcoating every 3-4 years and prompt repair of any cracks can extend the life significantly. Heavy truck traffic or poor drainage will reduce lifespan, while lighter use and good maintenance can extend it. The quality of initial installation, particularly base preparation and drainage design, has the biggest impact on long-term performance.

Do you handle parking lot striping and ADA compliance?

Yes, we provide complete parking lot striping and ensure ADA compliance as part of our service. This includes proper placement and sizing of handicap spaces, access aisles, ramp access, and appropriate signage. We’re familiar with current ADA requirements and local regulations for commercial parking lots. Striping is typically done after the asphalt has cured properly, usually within a few days of paving completion. We use high-quality paint designed for durability and visibility, and can also install any necessary bollards or wheel stops.
