Parking Lot Installation Process

How Professional Paving Actually Works

First, the existing surface gets properly removed and the base gets evaluated. Most parking lot problems start with poor foundation work, so this step determines whether you need additional base material or if the existing foundation can support new asphalt.

Next comes grading and drainage setup. Water is the enemy of any paved surface, so proper slope and drainage systems get installed before any asphalt goes down. This prevents the pooling and freeze-thaw damage that destroys parking lots in New Jersey winters.

Finally, the new asphalt gets installed in lifts, compacted properly, and finished with line striping once it’s cured. The entire process typically takes 2-3 days for most commercial lots, depending on size and complexity. You’ll know exactly what to expect before work begins.

Asphalt and Concrete Options

What's Included in Professional Installation

Every parking lot paving project includes proper site preparation, quality materials suited for commercial traffic, and professional installation techniques that ensure longevity. The work covers everything from initial excavation through final striping and marking.

Material options include traditional hot-mix asphalt for most applications, or concrete for areas requiring extra durability like loading docks or heavy equipment zones. Both options get installed with proper base preparation and drainage considerations specific to Mine Hill’s soil conditions.

Our service also includes ADA-compliant accessibility features, proper drainage systems, and line striping that meets local requirements. Each project comes with material warranties and workmanship guarantees, so you’re protected if anything goes wrong during the first few years.

How long does commercial parking lot paving take to complete?

Most commercial parking lots take 2-3 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves removal and base preparation. Day two covers asphalt installation and initial compaction. Day three handles final details like striping and cleanup. Weather can extend timelines, but you’ll get realistic expectations upfront. The key is proper scheduling – rushing paving work creates problems that show up later as premature cracking and failure.

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

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better, making it ideal for most New Jersey commercial applications. It’s also easier to repair if damage occurs. Concrete costs more initially but lasts longer and handles heavy loads better – good for areas with frequent truck traffic or heavy equipment. Most businesses choose asphalt for general parking and concrete only for specific high-stress areas like loading zones. The decision usually comes down to traffic patterns and budget.

How much does parking lot paving cost per square foot?

Commercial parking lot paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions, material choice, and project complexity. Simple overlay projects cost less than full reconstruction. Factors affecting price include existing surface condition, drainage requirements, base work needed, and accessibility features. The only way to get accurate pricing is through on-site evaluation – too many variables affect the final cost. Most contractors can provide ballpark estimates over the phone, but real numbers require seeing the actual site conditions.

When is the best time of year for parking lot paving?

Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for parking lot paving in New Jersey. Asphalt needs warm temperatures for proper installation and curing – ideally above 50 degrees consistently. Summer provides optimal conditions, but it’s also the busiest season, so scheduling takes longer. Fall work is possible but gets risky as temperatures drop. Winter paving is generally not recommended except for emergency repairs. Planning your project for late spring gives you the best weather conditions and more flexible scheduling options.

How long before we can drive on new asphalt?

Light vehicle traffic can typically resume 24-48 hours after asphalt installation, depending on weather conditions and asphalt thickness. Heavy trucks should wait at least 72 hours. The asphalt continues curing for several weeks, so it’s normal for it to feel softer initially, especially in hot weather. Avoid sharp turns and heavy braking on new asphalt for the first week. Line striping usually happens 2-3 days after paving once the surface has cooled and begun initial curing. Full cure takes about 30 days.

Do you handle permits and inspections for commercial paving projects?

Yes, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate required inspections with Mine Hill township. This includes stormwater management permits if drainage work is involved, and coordination with utility companies if any lines need adjustment. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, so it’s built into project timelines. Some projects also require traffic management plans if they affect public roads. Having contractors who understand local requirements prevents delays and ensures compliance with all regulations.
