Frequently Asked Questions About Parking Lot Paving

How long will the parking lot need to be closed during paving?

We almost always phase the work to keep portions accessible. Full lot closure is rarely necessary. New asphalt typically accepts light traffic within 24 to 48 hours after final placement.

How thick should commercial parking lot asphalt be?

Standard commercial parking lots use 3 to 4 inches of total asphalt over 6 to 8 inches of compacted aggregate base. Areas with truck traffic require thicker sections. We design the right thickness for the actual use.

How do you handle ADA accessibility requirements?

We follow current ADA standards for accessible parking spaces, access aisles, signage placement, and route slopes. The right number of accessible spaces, in the right locations, with correct striping and signage.

What happens to drainage during a parking lot project?

We evaluate drainage during the site walk. Reconstruction is the right time to correct grading issues, and we factor drainage corrections into the project scope when needed.

Can you coordinate with our tenants or business owners about the schedule?

Yes. We communicate phasing schedules with property managers in advance and adjust as needed to minimize disruption to tenants and customers.
