The Woes of a Worn Parking Lot

In business, there is not much more important than first impressions. When clients arrive at your office, are they impressed with a beautiful building but put off by the fact that your parking lot is patched together and dotted with potholes and cracks? That amazing building won’t be nearly as impressive as your clients stumble across the broken asphalt that is your parking lot.

Many businesses make this mistake, focusing on the aesthetics of their interior offices without a thought for the off-road feel of the exterior lot. Commercial paving companies are hired by businesses with this very common problem year in and year out and often can accommodate the schedule of the business, avoiding any down time.

In most cases, an experienced commercial paving contractor will evaluate the state of your asphalt or concrete lot, offering options that can cost effectively improve your parking lot and overall look of your building without breaking the bank. Often, existing parking lots do not require full excavation to create a new surface On some occasions, spot repairs, seal coat and/or a new asphalt blacktop and striping can be a simple fix.

If your parking lot is in need of extensive repair, most established commercial paving contractors provide complete services from full excavation to asphalt and concrete paving. Pavers can create a beautiful space that is sure to impress your clients instead of leaving them wondering about your attention to detail.

You go to the office every day but hardly pay attention to your parking space. Take a look at the parking lot as you get to work tomorrow. Did you have to navigate around a pothole the size of a VW Bug or zig-zag through the web of cracks? If so, it may be time to contact a commercial paving contractor.

  • I agree that it is just as important to take care of the parking lot as it is to take care of the exterior of your store. I don’t know of anyone who likes driving through potholes. Anyway, how long do asphalt parking lots normally last when properly maintained?

      Thanks for your question James. When property maintained, asphalt parking lots can last up to 30 years! Regular maintenance will definitely extend the life of your lot and save you lots of money down the road.

  • That is smart to have a commercial paving contractor evaluate the state of your pavement. That is cool that concrete contractors work at effectively improving the overall look of your paving project. That is nice that contractors provide complete services from excavation to paving.

  • I just started working for my grandfather’s business. I noticed that his parking lot is a little worn down, and so I’ve been looking for a solution for him. I agree that it is just as important to take care of the parking lot as it is to take care of the exterior of your store. Thanks for sharing this post, as this definitely seems like something we should invest into.

  • parking lots get the most beating, unlike driveways. Next time you’re out shopping, check out the parking lot and you’ll notice the weary spots.
