Pavement Maintenance

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

From the moment your asphalt is installed, it begins to deteriorate. This means that to ensure you have a top-notch parking lot for years to come, you will need to take certain steps to maintain that asphalt. This preventative maintenance will not only make your parking lot last longer, but, in the long run, it will save you money.

Here are a few simple steps you should take to keep your lot looking pristine.

Crackfill

Properly filling cracks is a job of tremendous importance. By filling a small crack properly, you will prevent that fissure from growing and becoming too big to handle by yourself. Filling small cracks saves you from paying to have large cracks repaired.

Sealcoating

This is another great way to improve the overall look of you lot while going the extra mile to protect your parking surface.

Re-Striping

Once the original lines are painted on the asphalt, constant re-striping is required ever 12-18 months.

Signage

Not only will your lot begin to deteriorate, but often signs are knocked down, dented, vandalized or even stolen. It is important to properly maintain your signs – not only for that instant curb appeal, but also for safety.

Wheel Stops

Wheel stops play an integral role in maintaining clear sidewalks and protecting signs. If your wheel stops are damaged, it could negatively affect everything around them.

Now you are well on your way to a beautiful, long lasting parking surface.
