A properly paved parking lot does more than just look good. It eliminates the liability headaches that come with potholes and cracked pavement. Your customers can focus on your business instead of dodging obstacles in your parking area.

You get years of reliable service from asphalt that’s designed for New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles. No more emergency repairs or temporary patches that fail after the first winter. Just smooth, professional pavement that handles whatever traffic you throw at it.

The right parking lot paving also solves drainage problems that create ice hazards and water damage. Proper grading and installation mean water flows where it should, protecting both your pavement investment and your customers’ safety.

Pumptown Paving Contractors

We Know New Jersey Pavement

We’ve been handling commercial parking lot projects throughout Pumptown and the surrounding New Jersey area for years. We understand how local soil conditions and weather patterns affect pavement performance.

Our team uses commercial-grade equipment and materials because we know the difference it makes in longevity. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in pavement that lasts, not temporary fixes that fail in two years.

We handle everything from initial excavation to final striping, so you work with one contractor from start to finish. No coordination headaches or finger-pointing between different crews.

Parking Lot Installation Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with a site evaluation to assess your current pavement, drainage needs, and traffic patterns. This tells us exactly what prep work is needed and helps us give you an accurate timeline and estimate.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where corner-cutting contractors usually fail, but it’s the foundation of long-lasting pavement. We remove failed material, grade for proper drainage, and install a stable aggregate base that can handle your traffic load.

The asphalt installation follows industry standards for thickness and compaction. We use commercial-grade hot mix asphalt and proper rolling techniques to create a smooth, durable surface. Final striping and marking complete the project according to ADA requirements and your specific needs.

Asphalt Parking Lot Solutions

Complete Commercial Paving Services

Our parking lot paving services include everything you need for a complete project. New installation starts with proper excavation and base preparation, followed by commercial-grade asphalt application and professional striping.

Parking lot resurfacing works when your base is still solid but the surface is worn or cracked. We mill off the old surface, make any necessary repairs, and apply fresh asphalt for a like-new appearance and performance.

We also handle concrete parking lot paving for areas that need extra durability, like loading docks or heavy truck traffic zones. Our team understands when concrete makes more sense than asphalt and can integrate both materials seamlessly in the same project.

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. Weather plays a big role since we can’t pave in rain or when temperatures are too low. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions cause delays. The actual paving usually happens quickly – it’s the prep work and base installation that take time. We can often work in phases to keep part of your parking area accessible during construction.

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 most New Jersey commercial properties. It’s also easier to repair if damage occurs. Concrete lasts longer and handles extremely heavy loads better, but costs more initially and can crack in our climate. For most retail and office properties, asphalt gives you the best combination of durability and value. We recommend concrete mainly for loading docks, truck routes, or areas with constant heavy traffic.

How thick should commercial parking lot asphalt be?

Commercial parking lots typically need 3-4 inches of asphalt over a properly prepared aggregate base. Light traffic areas like employee parking might work with 3 inches, while heavy traffic zones or truck routes need 4 inches or more. The base preparation is just as important – usually 6-8 inches of compacted aggregate depending on soil conditions. Skimping on thickness is false economy since thin pavement fails quickly and costs more to replace than doing it right the first time.

When should I resurface versus completely replace my parking lot?

Resurfacing works when your pavement has surface cracks and wear but the base is still solid. If you can walk the lot without major dips, soft spots, or areas where the base is failing, resurfacing might save you money. Complete replacement is necessary when you have widespread base failure, major settling, or drainage problems. We’ll do an honest assessment and recommend resurfacing when it makes sense – we’re not trying to sell you more work than you need.

How do I maintain my new parking lot to make it last?

Sealcoating every 3-4 years protects asphalt from water penetration and UV damage. Fill cracks promptly before they allow water to reach the base. Keep drainage areas clear so water flows properly. Address oil stains quickly since petroleum products break down asphalt. Avoid heavy equipment or dumpsters sitting in one spot for extended periods. Good maintenance can double your pavement’s lifespan, and we can set up a maintenance schedule that fits your budget and keeps your parking lot looking professional.

What permits do I need for commercial parking lot paving in Pumptown?

Most parking lot paving projects in Pumptown require permits, especially if you’re changing drainage patterns or doing major excavation. We handle the permit process for you since we know local requirements and have working relationships with municipal offices. The permit process usually takes 1-2 weeks, so we factor that into your project timeline. We’ll also coordinate any utility marking that’s required before excavation begins. Having a local contractor who understands Pumptown’s specific requirements saves you time and potential headaches.
