When your parking lot starts to look worse for wear, calling a local paving service to fix it has significant benefits for your business. A well-maintained parking lot attracts customers and is safer for both vehicles and pedestrians, limiting your company's liability. When you call your local provider, you'll have a choice between parking lot repairs, resurfacing, or complete asphalt removal and replacement. Here’s how you should decide. 

When to Ask Your Paving Service for Repairs

A parking lot that has a few areas of damage but is still mostly functional is a good candidate for spot repairs. This may mean cracks or even scattered potholes, as well as low areas on the surface where water collects. Your paving contractor will fill in potholes and cracks, and may also provide asphalt sealing to protect the surface. For more widespread damage, your contractor may recommend parking lot resurfacing, as long as the foundation of the lot is still strong. During this process, another layer of asphalt is added on top of the existing one to create a clean new surface.

When You Need Full Asphalt Removal & Paving Services

Paving ServicesAsphalt has a limited lifespan, so eventually, even resurfacing won't be enough. If you can see alligator cracks anywhere in your lot — meaning so many intersecting cracks that the asphalt starts to look like scaly alligator hide— or if the parking lot is more than 25 years old, it's a good candidate for replacement. Your contractor will remove the old lot, smooth out the ground, and build up new pavement. This can be done a section at a time to leave some parking areas available for your customers and ensure your business doesn’t have to shut down.
