Parking Lot Installation Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with a site evaluation to check drainage, soil conditions, and traffic patterns. This determines the right base preparation and asphalt thickness for your specific situation.

Base preparation comes next. We excavate to proper depth, install and compact the stone base, and ensure proper grading for water runoff. This foundation work determines how long your parking lot will last.

Asphalt installation happens in optimal weather conditions. We lay the hot mix asphalt to specified thickness, compact it properly, and finish with clean edges and smooth transitions. Line striping follows after the surface cures.

Complete Parking Lot Services

Our parking lot paving covers new installation, complete resurfacing, and major repairs. We handle everything from small business lots to large commercial complexes.

Pleasant Plains properties face unique challenges from clay soils and variable drainage. We adjust our approach based on your site conditions, not a one-size-fits-all method.

How long does commercial parking lot paving take to complete?

Most parking lot paving projects take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Small business lots often finish in 1-2 days, while larger commercial properties may need a full week. Weather conditions can affect timing since we can’t pave in rain or extreme temperatures. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions change. The key is proper planning so your business operations aren’t disrupted longer than necessary.

What's the difference between resurfacing and complete parking lot replacement?

Resurfacing adds a new asphalt layer over your existing parking lot, while replacement removes everything down to the base. Resurfacing works when your base is solid but the surface is worn or cracked. Complete replacement is needed when you have base failure, major drainage issues, or structural problems. We’ll evaluate your current parking lot and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes resurfacing saves money short-term but replacement provides better long-term value.

How do I know if my parking lot needs repair or replacement?

Look for widespread cracking, potholes, drainage problems, or areas where the asphalt is breaking apart. Surface cracks and minor wear usually mean resurfacing is enough. Base failure shows up as soft spots, major settling, or areas where the asphalt moves when vehicles drive over it. Poor drainage creates standing water and accelerates deterioration. We can assess your parking lot and explain what’s causing the problems and the best way to fix them permanently.

What thickness of asphalt do I need for my commercial parking lot?

Commercial parking lots typically need 3-4 inches of asphalt over a proper stone base. Heavy truck traffic requires thicker asphalt and a more robust base. Light commercial use can sometimes work with 2.5-3 inches. The base preparation is equally important – usually 6-8 inches of compacted stone. Pleasant Plains soil conditions often require extra attention to base preparation because of clay content and drainage challenges. We’ll recommend the right specifications based on your expected traffic and site conditions.

How long before I can drive on new asphalt paving?

You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, but it takes 30-60 days to fully cure. We’ll tell you exactly when it’s safe to reopen based on weather conditions and asphalt temperature. Hot weather requires longer cooling time. Heavy vehicles should wait longer than cars. The asphalt continues hardening for months, so avoid sharp turns and heavy loads initially. We’ll give you specific guidelines for your situation so you can plan your business operations accordingly.

Do you handle line striping and ADA compliance for parking lots?

Yes, we coordinate line striping and ADA compliance as part of complete parking lot projects. This includes proper handicap space dimensions, access aisles, and van-accessible spaces based on your lot size. Line striping should wait until the asphalt fully cures, usually 2-4 weeks after paving. We work with certified striping contractors who understand current ADA requirements and local codes. Getting everything coordinated through one point of contact makes the process simpler and ensures compliance requirements are met correctly.
