With all the focus on your business establishment’s interiors and facade, your parking lot often gets overlooked. But since this is the first thing a potential customer sees, it would do well for you and your business to keep it well-maintained.

Professionals from Double Diamond Contracting in Kalispell, MT, have more than 15 years of experience providing reliable paving services for commercial, industrial, and residential clients in the Flathead Valley.

They share a few easy ways for you to maintain the condition of your parking lot’s paving and ensure that it lasts longer:

• Check It Regularly: Prevention is always better than treatment, and this is certainly the case here. Check the parking lot regularly and look for any signs of problems. Take care of these issues while they are still minor.

• Clear Away Debris: Remove any debris, such as leaves and branches, from the lot surface regularly. Debris can widen small cracks and cause further problems.

• Check The Drains: Is the asphalt surface of your parking lot not draining as quickly as it should? That could be because the drains are clogged, which can cause damage over time. Check the drains regularly and remove anything that blocks the flow of water.

• Regular Sealcoating: Ideally, you should have your parking lot sealcoated every two to three years. But if the finish on your lot looks dull already, it’s a sign to get it sealcoated now.

• Perform Pothole Repair: Do not ignore potholes in your parking lot. The longer you take to repair a pothole, the bigger and more hazardous it will become. This is especially true during winter, when cold weather causes potholes to contract and expand. Potholes are also notorious for causing vehicle damage and can be a danger to people walking in the parking lot.
