Asphalt parking lot maintenance is important. But of all the precautions you can take to ensure your parking surface lasts for a long time, sealcoating is perhaps the most important. If applied properly and at the right time, sealcoating provides the following benefits:
Slows Oxidation and Water Penetration: Over exposure to oxygen will harden asphalt binders, resulting in brittle pavement prone to cracking. And cracking allows water to seep into the asphalt sub base, further weakening the entire parking surface. This leads to more cracks, potholes, and eventual total parking lot failure.
Sealcoats fill surface voids, reducing exposure to oxygen and water and prolonging pavement life.
Protects Pavement Against Ultraviolet Rays: The sun’s rays can break the links between carbon bonds and your asphalt. Sealcoat prevent ultraviolet rays from further damaging the asphalt pavement.
Protects Against Spills: Gas and oil spills can soften asphalt, making it more susceptible to other damage. Sealcoating reduces the depth to which oil or gas can penetrate.
Easy to Clean Pavement: Sealcoating results in a smooth, even texture allowing for much easier cleaning.
Increased Pavement Flexibility: Sealcoating keeps your parking lot black. This attracts more heat from the sun, which, in turn, makes your parking surface more pliable and increasingly able it is to withstand traffic volume changes without cracking.
Beauty: Well, this one is a given.
Cost Effective: It is far less expensive to sealcoat your parking lot every few years than it would be to overlay or completely replace your parking surface.
If you have any questions, contact an experienced asphalt company today – a company like PTG Enterprises. The asphalt experts here have managed hundreds of pavement sealcoat projects and have the experience you need.

There are many different options available to property managers and owners today than there were when I started in the Industry. This works to the advantage of the property and to the pavement. Now, depending on the current condition of the asphalt, I have the ability to recommend several different options depending on the condition of the lot, previous maintenance schedules and budgets. The cost of sealcoating is only pennies a square yard versus repairs and rehabilitation which can be as much as twenty times higher.

It dawned on us that many of our customers have questions about the sealcoating process. So we have compiled a list of some of the most frequently asked sealcoating questions we could find. These include:
Why are two thin coats of sealcoat better than a single thick coat?
The answer is quite simple. Applying two thinner coats allows the sealcoat to dry and cure much faster than one thick application. Sealcoating is water-based and cures through evaporation. Because of this, the top layer dries faster than the bottom layers. If applied in one thick coat, sealcoating has a tendency to hold water and stay soft for a long period of time.
One thin coat of sealcoat looks good enough; why do I need a second coat?
Aesthetics is only part of the reason for sealcoating. The larger purpose for this process is to protect the asphalt underneath. One thin coat only provides half the necessary protection.
Applying one thin coat also means that you will have to sealcoat more frequently.
Why does sealcoat fail or peel?
Oil spots and other contaminants, like grease and dirt, will prevent the sealcoating from properly bonding with the asphalt. This is why the pavement should be thoroughly cleaned before the sealcoating process begins.
Why are there white streaks in the sealcoating?
This could be a sign that there is a problem with your base. The limestone from the base may be making its way through pre-existing cracks in the pavement.
Hopefully these FAQs have answered some of your sealcoating questions, but if you still want to know more, contact the asphalt experts at PTG Enterprises aka My Pavement Guy today by calling 410-636-8777 or click here today!

Although the weather is unseasonably warm for December, the odds are that it will not stay that way for very long. Winter is right around the corner. And in Maryland, that means one thing; snow is on the way.
While this is more than enough reason for school children to jump with joy, the thought of snow and thus snow removal is enough to give any business owner a headache. Not only is removing snow from your parking lot an expensive endeavor, it can also damage your asphalt, costing you even more money down the road!
Here are some things to keep in mind this winter:
1. Safety: Proper snow removal is not just recommended; it is required. The last thing you need is for a customer or client to slip and fall outside of your store/office, because you failed to properly clear the walkway and parking lot. If this happens, you could be held liable.
What’s worse, a snow removal bill or lawyer fees?
2. Quality: While you can try to tackle snow removal on your own, it is probably best to leave this job to the professionals. They have the knowledge and equipment to get the job done right. Plus, a professional plowing service is far less likely to damage your parking surface.
If damage still occurs to your asphalt parking lot, leaving it in desperate need of a little TLC, then contact an experienced asphalt company today – a company like PTG Enterprises. The asphalt experts here have managed hundreds of pavement repair projects and have the experience you need. So contact PTG Enterprises aka My Pavement Guy today by calling 410-636-8777 or click here today!

Sealcoating is a crucial process in the preventative maintenance of any parking surface. There are many benefits to sealcoating, including:
Aesthetics: A fresh new sealcoat gives your asphalt a dark black color, greatly improving its appearance. Sealcoating will also make your asphalt look cleaner, as rain can more easily wash dirt and debris away.
Preservation: Sealcoating will preserve the resilience of your asphalt parking surface and will keep small cracks from becoming big structural problems.
Visibility: Sealcoating will make your traffic lines more visible.
UV Rays: The sun can greatly damage your asphalt surface. Sealcoating protects your parking lot from harsh UV rays.
Chemicals: Sealcoating will protect your parking lot from the effects of chemical spills, like gasoline or oil.
Waterproofing: Sealcoating locks moisture out. And, as we all know, moisture and asphalt do not mix…especially with winter right around the corner.
Save Money: Sealcoating costs pennies per square foot. Asphalt repairs cost dollars per square foot. You do the math.
So do the right thing for your parking lot and have it sealcoated every 2-7 years, or as needed. This will protect your asphalt surface and greatly minimize the need for constant maintenance and repairs.
If damage still occurs to your asphalt parking lot and it is in desperate need of a little TLC, contact an experienced asphalt company today – a company like PTG Enterprises. The asphalt experts here have managed hundreds of pavement repair projects and have the experience you need.

While your parking surface may look rugged and indestructible, it’s not (trust us). This is why regular asphalt pavement maintenance is important. Without such maintenance, your asphalt surface will slowly begin to crumble away. On the other hand, with proper asphalt maintenance, your parking lot will last for years (maybe even decades) to come.
Preventative asphalt maintenance tasks include:
• Preventing the surface and underlying infiltration bed from becoming clogged with fine sediment.
• Your parking lot pavement surface should be vacuumed at least twice a year with a vacuum sweeper.
• If routine vacuum sweeping proves ineffective, wash your pavement with clean, low-pressure water followed by immediate vacuuming.
• Maintain the landscape surrounding your asphalt. This will hopefully prevent soil washout onto the parking surface.
• If soil washout occurs, clean up immediately.
Winter asphalt maintenance:
• Never use sand or abrasives because they will clog the pores of your asphalt. Instead, use deicing materials.
• When plowing, set the blade an inch higher than normal. This will prevent unnecessary damage.
If damage still occurs to your asphalt parking lot and it is in desperate need of a little TLC, contact an experienced asphalt company today – a company like PTG Enterprises. The asphalt experts here have managed hundreds of repair projects and have the experience you need. So contact PTG Enterprises aka My Pavement Guy today by calling 410-636-8777 or click here today!

Like the cover of a book, the exterior of your building and your parking lot are what your customers base their first opinions on. I know, I know…don’t judge a book by its cover. Well, guess what? People still do. That is just the way it is. And you only get to make one first impression, so it is important to make it a good one. After all, who wants to lose business because their parking lot is a mess?
New paint, signs and wheel stops give your parking lot a “WOW” factor. Unfortunately, this wow factor doesn’t last forever.
Your parking lot striping wears away over time, which is why re-striping is the most common and routine type of asphalt maintenance. As soon as the paint is applied to your parking surface, it begins to deteriorate. This deterioration is sped up by such factors as severe weather, the amount of traffic coming in and out of the lot, and the thickness of the paint.
So how often should you re-stripe your parking lot?
Because of the deteriorating paint, the relatively low cost of re-striping, and the instant curb appeal it provides, it is recommended that you re-stripe your parking lot every 12-18 months. And as long as the temperature is above freezing, striping can be performed year-round.
So if your parking lot is in desperate need of a little TLC, contact an experienced asphalt company today – a company like PTG Enterprises. The asphalt experts here have managed hundreds of these projects and have the experience you need. So contact PTG Enterprises aka My Pavement Guy today by calling 410-636-8777 or click here today!

Is your asphalt driveway in desperate need of repair? Well, the only way to truly rehabilitate your parking pad is to hire a professional asphalt contractor to come in, assess the situation, and repair the problem.
While you can attempt small do-it-yourself asphalt patching jobs on your own, these will be little more than temporary solutions. In the end, the only way to truly repair your driveway is to have an asphalt professional, like PTG Enterprises, handle the project.
Here at PTG Enterprises, we adhere to the following Asphalt Driveway Repair Process:
1. Pre-Construction
The purpose of a pre-construction meeting is to clearly communicate expectation levels and set a time to allow a question and answer session. A successful pre-construction meeting results in everyone leaving with a clear understanding of what’s going to happen and when it’s happening. Most of the time, this information is discussed at the time of estimate.
2. Traffic Controls
Usually this consists of cones and caution tape. We will place cones around construction vehicles and at both ends of the work zone. Maintaining the safety on a work zone is of the utmost importance. Once the driveway repairs have been completed, caution tape will be placed across the entrance to allow the asphalt time to cure.
3. Base Patching – (IF NEEDED)
As described in several places through-out this website, most patching is conducted the same way. The damaged asphalt is excavated, in this case to the sub-grade stone, and all damaged asphalt is removed from site and disposed of at a recycling plant. Assuming the sub-grade is stable, (see “Undercutting” if not), new asphalt is installed within the excavated area and compacted within industry standards. With base patching, the finished grade of the patch is even with either the old existing pavement that is about to be overlaid or even with the milled out elevation of the parking lot. In both cases, base patching is designed to repair isolated damaged areas prior to an overlay.
4. Undercutting / Stone Replacement – (IF NEEDED)
Soft spot or unstable soil is usually easy to see and evaluate. A simple on-site test is a proof roll. For this you take a fully loaded dump truck (approx. 50,000 pounds) and drive it over the area. In smaller areas, a bobcat will work. If the truck / bobcat cause deflections or makes deep wheel rut impressions in the sub-grade, you have a soft spot. The area is excavated as needed until a stable soil is reached and all debris is removed from site. New stone is then reinstalled in lifts, building the area back up to pre-construction elevations. The area is then capped with base course asphalt if overlay is to follow or base and surface course asphalt if it is to be a finished patch.
5. Asphalt Installation
The paving machine, paired with an experienced operator and a trained crew, will make paving look easy – it’s not. Assuming fabric was not in the scope of work, than the paving team will have a man designated to either spray or spot apply tack coat material. Another ground personnel will be responsible for controlling the movement of trucks. It’s crucially important that the trucks stay in order and the next one up is always ready to go. The hotter the asphalt, the easier it is to work with, hence the longer a truck sits, the cooler the asphalt gets. The asphalt is dumped from the truck to the paver where two men control each side. One man is responsible to make sure the joint lines up with the previous paving pull and the other side is responsible for determining thickness, grade, pitch and fall. Accompanying the paver are usually two ground personnel known as “Lute men”. They take direction from the paving foreman and will spread / rake high and low spots out of areas that were just paved but need minor adjustments. Finally, there is the roller man. He is responsible for the compaction of the freshly laid asphalt. Usually this person will work the roller and also plate tampers and hand tampers in the tight areas where pavers cannot go.
If you have any questions or wish to schedule a pre-construction meeting, please contact PTG Enterprises aka My Pavement Guy today by calling 410-636-8777 or click here today!

Potholes and uneven pavement are not just eyesores on your otherwise immaculate asphalt; they are liabilities. These pavement problems can cause pedestrian accidents, motorcycle and bicycle crashes, and injuries. And guess who is liable for these injuries? YOU, as the property owner, will be held liable for any and all injuries sustained as a result of your improperly maintained pavement.
So protect yourself and others by fixing potholes and uneven pavement surfaces quickly. Here’s how…
Potholes: Potholes are generally caused by failures in the base surface. Because of this, the old asphalt and base must be removed. Then a new base and a new layer of compacted asphalt can be added.
Asphalt patching is the best long-term solution, but filling the pothole with cold-patch asphalt can work in the short term.
Sunken Concrete Panels: This signals that the base course has weakened and needs to be replaced. The old materials need to be stripped and replaced with new, compacted layers of base course and concrete.
Short-term fix: The concrete slabs that are not sunken in can be grinded down until the surface is flush. Since this does not address the cause of the problem, it is only a temporary fix.
Lifted Asphalt and Concrete Panels: This is most likely the result of an intruding tree root under the pavement. To fix this you must remove the pavement, remove the tree root and then repave the surface.
Short-term fix: Grind down the surface.
Of course, if you would rather leave all of this to the professionals, we are here to help. So contact PTG Enterprises aka My Pavement Guy today by calling 410-636-8777 or click here today!

Cracks in your asphalt parking surface are an immediate cause for alarm. If left untreated, cracks will allow water to penetrate the surface, softening the stone base and leading to alligator cracking, spider webbing, pot holes and other forms of parking lot degradation. And as the weather quickly begins to cool this time of year, these problems are compounded. The freezing and thawing cycle can turn even the smallest of crack into a big problem.
If you don’t attack cracks while you have the chance, you may find yourself paying for premature and costly resurfacing. Crack filling may be your best solution. It can reduce pavement deterioration by restricting water penetration into the base and sub-base layers.
Crack sealing/crack filling of your asphalt pavement – driveways, parking lots and roads – is a necessary preventative maintenance measure, extending the useful life of your pavement and yielding long-term financial savings.
However, to experience the best results possible, you should leave your asphalt maintenance to a proven pavement professional with a track record for quality work, like PTG Enterprises, Inc.
“Properly crackfilling your parking lot is the single best thing you can do to maintain its life,” says PTG Enterprises owner, Patrick T. Gillen III. “Left untreated, small cracks will allow water in and become big cracks eventually penetrating through the asphalt and contaminating the sub-grade.”
So don’t wait until it’s too late! Contact PTG Enterprises aka My Pavement Guy today by calling 410-636-8777 or click here today!

If you are a business owner, you probably already know about the benefits of dumpster corrals. And if you don’t, you should.
Dumpster corrals are made to…well, corral dumpsters. These enclosures are designed to hide your unsightly garbage containers from plain sight. Customers do not want to walk by dumpsters overflowing with trash, smell putrid odors and see grease spots. Besides the health issues associated with this less than pleasant sight, grease accumulation and improper garbage disposal can damage your concrete and asphalt.
So make an investment in your business and clean up your building’s exterior with a brand new dumpster corral. An aesthetically pleasing storefront shows your customers you really care. And your business is nowhere to try and cut corners, so trust your work to a proven pavement professional, like the asphalt experts at PTG Enterprises.
At PTG Enterprises, we have constructed many dumpster corrals and can construct per your design or we can work together to design one. The important thing to factor in is the size of the dumpster itself and the clearance you need. Often, steel bollards are installed at the rear of the corral to prevent damage to the rear wall. Another choice that must be made is to determine the sidewalls. We can construct a block wall with or without brick facing or fencing.
If you think your business could benefit from a dumpster corral or if you have any additional questions, contact PTG Enterprises aka My Pavement Guy by calling 410-636-8777 or click here today!
