The Importance of Crackfilling: Don’t Let Your Parking Lot Waste Away

Friday, November 11th, 2011

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.”

The Benefits of Dumpster Corrals

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

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!
