We Know New Jersey Paving

Platinum Paving has been handling commercial parking lot projects throughout New Jersey for years. We understand what works in this climate and what doesn’t.

New Jersey weather is tough on asphalt. Between the freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and summer heat, parking lots take a beating. We use materials and techniques specifically chosen for these conditions.

Parking Lot Paving Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

Every parking lot project starts with a site evaluation. We assess drainage, soil conditions, and traffic patterns to determine the right approach for your specific property.

Site preparation comes next. This means proper excavation, grading for drainage, and installing a solid base that can handle your expected traffic load. Shortcuts here cause problems later, so this step gets the attention it deserves.

The asphalt installation follows industry best practices for thickness, compaction, and curing. Proper timing matters – temperature, weather conditions, and curing time all affect the final result. Once the surface is ready, line striping and any required ADA compliance features complete the project.

How long does commercial parking lot paving take to complete?

Most commercial parking lot projects take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Small business lots might be completed in 1-2 days, while larger retail or office complexes typically require 3-5 days. Weather conditions can affect timing since asphalt installation requires specific temperature ranges. We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your business operations, often working around your peak hours when possible. After installation, you’ll need to keep traffic off the new asphalt for 24-48 hours to allow proper curing.

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

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete. It’s also easier to repair when damage does occur. Concrete lasts longer but costs significantly more initially and can crack during harsh winters. For most commercial properties, asphalt provides the best balance of durability, cost, and performance. Concrete makes sense for specific applications like loading docks or areas with extremely heavy truck traffic, but asphalt handles typical parking lot use very effectively while staying within most budgets.

How thick should commercial parking lot asphalt be?

Commercial parking lots typically need 3-4 inches of asphalt over a properly prepared base. Areas with heavy truck traffic might require 4-6 inches. The base preparation is just as important – usually 6-8 inches of compacted stone base under the asphalt. Thickness depends on your soil conditions, expected traffic load, and local requirements. Skimping on thickness to save money upfront leads to premature failure and expensive repairs. A properly designed thickness based on your specific conditions provides decades of service with minimal maintenance.

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

Late spring through early fall provides the best conditions for asphalt installation in New Jersey. Temperatures need to be consistently above 50 degrees, with no rain in the forecast. Summer and early fall are ideal because the asphalt stays workable longer in warm weather, allowing for better compaction. Winter paving is possible but requires special considerations and may cost more. Spring scheduling also gives you a full season to enjoy your new parking lot before the next winter. Planning ahead for spring or summer installation usually provides the best results and pricing.

How do I maintain my new parking lot to maximize its lifespan?

Sealcoating every 2-3 years protects the asphalt from weather and extends its life significantly. Address cracks quickly before they allow water penetration – small cracks are inexpensive to fix, but water damage leads to major repairs. Keep the surface clean and remove snow promptly in winter, but avoid harsh chemicals that can damage asphalt. Regular inspection helps catch small issues before they become big problems. With proper maintenance, a quality parking lot installation can last 20-25 years or more, making it a solid long-term investment for your property.

What permits are required for commercial parking lot paving in New Jersey?

Most parking lot resurfacing projects don’t require permits, but new construction or major expansions typically do. Local municipalities have specific requirements for drainage, ADA compliance, and environmental considerations. Some projects require stormwater management plans or environmental permits depending on size and location. We handle permit research and applications as part of the project planning process. Our team knows local requirements and works with municipal offices to ensure all necessary approvals are in place before starting work, preventing delays and compliance issues.
