Asphalt

Workers wearing orange shirts are paving asphalt in a parking lot outside a grocery store called WinCo Foods. The workers are using shovels and rakes to spread the hot asphalt, which is freshly laid down. In the background, there are parked cars and trees under a clear blue sky.

Asphalt Parking Lot Repair and Replacement

An asphalt parking lot is a significant asset for any commercial property. Proper maintenance, timely repairs, and strategic replacement extend pavement life, enhance curb appeal, improve safety, and protect your investment.

Common Problems

  • Cracking: Alligator (fatigue) cracks signal structural failure.

  • Potholes: Localized pavement collapse from water infiltration and frozen/thaw cycles or heavy loads.

  • Drainage issues: Standing water accelerates deterioration and undermines base layers.

  • Fading and line loss: Paint and markings wear, affecting traffic flow and ADA compliance.

Repair Options Offered

  • Crack Filling: For wider cracks where only a flexible fill is needed; lower cost but less durable than routed/crack-seal systems.

  • Pothole Repair: Two common approaches—throw-and-roll (temporary) and full-depth patching (permanent). Use full-depth repair when base is compromised.

  • Surface Patching: For localized areas of deterioration; remove and replace affected asphalt to restore structural integrity.

  • Mill and Overlay (Resurfacing): Mill (grind) existing surface and place new asphalt layer.

  • Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) or Reconstruction: Pulverize existing pavement and rebuild base, then place new asphalt.

  • Drainage Correction: Regrade, replace drains, or install new drainage infrastructure when standing water is present.

  • ADA and Striping Upgrades: Include accessible parking stalls, ramps, tactile markings, and fresh pavement markings in repair or replacement projects.
