Middlebush Parking Lot Contractors

We Know New Jersey Pavement

We’ve been handling commercial parking lot projects throughout New Jersey for years. We understand how freeze-thaw cycles affect asphalt and what it takes to build parking lots that survive our winters.

We’re not the crew that shows up, lays some asphalt, and disappears. We’re the local contractors who know proper base preparation, drainage requirements, and the specific asphalt mixes that work in this climate.

When we finish your project, you get a parking lot built to last—not just look good for the first few months.

Parking Lot Installation Process

How We Handle Your Project

We start with proper excavation and base preparation—the foundation that determines how long your parking lot lasts. This means removing inadequate materials and installing the right stone base for your soil conditions and traffic load.

Next comes grading for proper drainage. Water is asphalt’s biggest enemy, so we make sure it flows away from your building and off your property without pooling anywhere.

Then we install the asphalt in lifts, compacting each layer to specification. We finish with professional striping that meets ADA requirements and local codes. The entire process is scheduled to minimize disruption to your business operations.

How long does commercial parking lot paving take to complete?

Most commercial parking lot paving projects take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. This includes excavation, base preparation, asphalt installation, and striping. Weather can affect the timeline since we can’t pave in rain or when temperatures are too low. We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your business and can often work around your peak hours. The asphalt needs 24-48 hours before heavy traffic, but you can typically have light vehicle access within a few hours of completion.

What's the difference between asphalt and concrete for parking lots?

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete, making it ideal for New Jersey weather. It’s also easier to repair if damage occurs. Concrete lasts longer but costs significantly more and can crack from frost heaving. For most commercial applications, asphalt provides the best value—it looks professional, handles heavy traffic well, and can be maintained cost-effectively. Concrete makes sense for specific applications like loading docks or areas with constant heavy truck traffic.

How thick should commercial parking lot asphalt be?

Commercial parking lots typically need 3-4 inches of asphalt over a properly prepared stone base. The exact thickness depends on your traffic load and soil conditions. Areas with delivery trucks need thicker asphalt than employee parking areas. We also consider the existing base—sometimes we can overlay existing pavement if it’s in good condition, other times complete reconstruction is necessary. The stone base is just as important as asphalt thickness for long-term performance.

Can you pave over existing asphalt or does it need removal?

It depends on the condition of existing pavement. If the current asphalt has good structural integrity with only surface issues, we can overlay it with new asphalt. However, if there are base problems, drainage issues, or significant cracking, complete removal and reconstruction is necessary. Overlaying bad asphalt just transfers the problems to the new surface. We evaluate each project individually and recommend the approach that gives you the best long-term value, not just the cheapest upfront option.

What maintenance does a new parking lot need?

New asphalt should be sealcoated after 6-12 months, then every 3-4 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. Crack sealing should be done promptly when cracks appear to prevent water infiltration. Regular sweeping and drainage maintenance prevent debris buildup that can cause problems. Striping typically needs refreshing every 2-3 years. With proper maintenance, a well-installed commercial parking lot can last 15-20 years before needing major work. Neglected lots often need replacement in 8-10 years.

Do you handle permits and inspections for commercial paving?

Yes, we handle permit applications and coordinate inspections as part of our service. Commercial paving projects often require permits, especially if they involve drainage changes or ADA compliance updates. We know local requirements in Middlebush and surrounding areas, so we can navigate the permit process efficiently. This includes soil testing if required, engineering drawings for drainage, and scheduling inspections at the right project phases. Having experienced contractors handle permits prevents delays and ensures your project meets all local codes.
