Let Us Help You Identify Pavement Issues

Having a secure and clearly defined parking lot is a crucial part of maintaining a successful business. Potential customers will notice the status of y

our parking lot before they even step foot in your establishment, and preconceived notions can be made based on that aspect alone. If you’re unsure if it’s time to reinvest in your parking lot, consider these factors and how they can affect your lot. 

Age of the Lot

Think about when the asphalt paving was first poured in your lot. A new lot can generally withstand about 20-30 years without any type of reconditioning, but that also depends on various other factors. 

Vehicles Using the Lot

Though a lot of asphalt paving should hold up for a couple of decades, the amount of traffic and type of traffic can affect this lifespan. Having a steady influx of vehicles - especially larger sizes - in your parking lot adds to routine wear and tear.

Base Conditions 

The base of your parking lot should be sturdy and free of any damage. Some cracks and holes may just rest on the surface, leaving your base intact. But if you do spot any damage at this crucial layer, you should have some repaving or patchwork done. 

Needed Patchwork

While not all damage in your parking lot will affect the base, you still may want to consider having some patchwork done if your lot is inundated with deep cracks, gaping holes, or other issues. Customers will appreciate this effort, as all of these could potentially harm their vehicles.
