Four Key Features of Good Commercial Parking Lot Paving

In simple terms, the features that define a quality paving job can be broken down into four categories:

#1 Smooth integration of existing pavement.

If you want to expand an existing parking lot, or integrate existing pavement into a refurbished, precision saw-cutting is an essential first step. The smooth transition form old pavement to new, is important for the consturction of any high-quality pavement project. Learn more about this process with these helpful case studies:

#2 A good gravel base.

Did you know? The most important part of your new asphalt parking lot is the sub-base. Without a proper gravel foundation, the parking lot will buckle  under the weight of vehicle traffic. Installation of sub-base takes experience and percision. Take a look at these additional resources to learn more:

#3 Proper drainage.

Water needs to have somewhere to go. Carefully designed drainage systems prevent buildups of standing water and long-term damage to the parking lot. Learn more:

#4 Attention to detail

While the asphalt is hot and fresh, skilled workers use hand rollers and plate compactors to ensure an even surface and sharp edging. This attentiont o detail means that the final product, a new driveway, parking lot or roadway, looks great and it built to last. Take a look at some of our completed projects in our photo gallery.
