Parking Lot Paving Companies
- Every day we use parking lots to go about the business of living. We want these lots, so necessary for commerce, to be pothole free, signage to keep pedestrians safe from motorists, trash free, good security features and pond free. The first impression of a business begins at the parking lot and bad first impressions are hard to overcome. Providing a safe area in which to park your car is important to your clients, especially for women who wear high heels or are caring for children and the elderly who risk their health negotiating a broken and damaged parking lot.
- Parking Lot security functions, such as adequate lighting, cameras and few places for predators to hide will be very appreciated by clients and will display that this company cares about clients’ safety. If someone is afraid to make use of your parking lot, they will move on to a provider that does show regard for their safety.
- Commercial property owners need not worry about our parking lot paving capabilities- we’ve got this covered.

Parking lot repair of potholes, cracks, depressions…
- If your clients are complaining about parking lot potholes causing damage to their cars or somebody trips over cracked pavement, you need to fix it. Bear in mind, 20% of all personal labiality lawsuits are related to injuries received in a parking lot. Many problems can be solved without replacement.
- We seal those cracks and fill the potholes with time tested repair protocol- we just don’t throw tar or asphalt at them. These professional repairs often take longer but they are long-lasting. The quick throw and go repair for potholes spits out its new contents often after a few cars run over it.
- Preparation of the crack is necessary for good bonding of the repair material. All loose material should be removed by sandblasting, wire brushing or high-pressure water then the crack can be filled from the bottom up being careful to prevent air bubbles (bubbles create weak spaces in the asphalt). Crack sealing will last 3 to 8 years- dependent on the condition of the surrounding pavement, climate and repair technique.
New parking lot installation- its design and build
- Well design parking lots should view as successful when they have maximized the number of parking slots while keeping it safe to use (following all regulatory code) and as attractive as can be. Conversations with professional asphalt parking lot paver will be of benefit to the design of the parking lot- they may even stop build mistakes from occurring.
- All necessary permits and approvals must be secured before any work can go forward.
- The city or county requires a blueprint design that specify drainage plans, foundation plans, kind of asphalt mix, thickness of asphalt layer, design of emergency access, handicap spaces and pavement striping or markings. In some rural areas, properties are less likely to be regulated by city and county specifications in such cases a professional asphalt parking lot contractor can build you a parking lot in accordance with industry standards yet based on your specifications.
Resurfacing or Renewal
- Resurfacing or renewal is a way of repairing an ageing parking lot without having to replace the whole thing. The first 2 inches of the asphalt is removed either by shaving it off or grinding it off. The goal is to even out the parking lot enough to accept new levels of compacted asphalt. Care must be taken so the new asphalt will be level with abutments, such as cement curbing, islands for security lights and walkways.
- The ground up waste asphalt can be used to strengthen the subbase or it can be gather and sent to an asphalt recycling plant. Recycling asphalt process is a very green as its considered to be reclaiming about 95% of broken up asphalt from worn out parking lots.
- Resurfacing is a very attractive way for business to update a large parking lot because its fast and less expensive then replacement. Essentially the parking lot will look new and should stay functional for another 8 to 12 years.
Pavement markings and signage
- Painted pavement markings are needed on roads and parking lots to inform motorists and pedestrians where to park, turn lanes, do not enter zones, fire zones and many others. Without this guidance pandemonium will rule and all users will suffer.
- The signs need to be replaced as they wear out or after a sealcoating has been done.
- The markings are universal within a state, indeed mostly the USA, so people can understand their direction quickly. Once in while, confusing directions are striped which can cause an accident-prone location. You can avoid this situation by hiring local and experienced contractors.
Grading
- Water management is the purpose of grading a slope into a swath of land to be paved into a parking lot. Water is the single most destructive force in the world and asphalt pavement biggest source of damage causing at first cracks which then develop into potholes. The slope of the grade is what moves the water away from the pavement.
- The existing trees or other plant materials to be preserved should be reflected in the grading plan. Where trees are concerned, the existing grade within the circle of the tree drip should not be disturbed by grading or paving otherwise the tree may die.
- The water runoff should be sent into storm sewers or drainage ditches or holding pond. Never send water runoff to neighboring stores or homes you could end up with lawsuits.
- Our expert graders check the slope with laser guided transits and automatic motor graders during and before announcing the grading complete.
Sealcoating for maintenance
- Asphalt pavement is a very durable material for parking lots and roads but it still undergoes oxidation as soon as it is laid. Once exposed to the environment the asphalt binder begins to decay which is indicated by the deep black color of pavement turning light grey and as it decays exposing the aggregate within the mix. However, sealcoating will bring this process of decay down to a crawl which can almost double the original lifespan of the parking lot.
- Other benefits of sealcoating include resistance to UV rays, weather (rain, sleet and snow), oil spills, gas spills and many chemical spills. Once done the surface will look new again and be easy to clean with a quick wash because the sealcoat has formed a shield against dirt and grime.
Asphalt/Blacktop road repair
- It takes a lot less effort and money to repair a road in need of minor maintence than to repair a road in need of major maintence. When minor cracks are not repaired, rain water seeps into the subbase and destroys the pavement’s support causing a collapse above into an ever-widening hole.
- Roads are sometimes built with a crown and sloped to send the flow of water from their surfaces into ditches on either side. The roads edge is prone to cracking this is usually caused by a weak base at the edge of the road which underlines the necessity of road shoulders with stronger base of gravel then just soil. Providing gravel shoulders from a drainage point of view promotes surface flow into the side ditches and minimizes seepage into the subgrade.

Experience Matters
Asphalt Paving is NOT a trade that is taught in school but on the job site. It takes time to prefect the craft as any hands-on trade does. We have over 50 years of experience and have to solve upcoming problems that a new paver would not know how to handle. For example, handling proper drainage, considering trees/plants that could be a future issue, improperly mixed asphalt identification. An issue like this could ruin your investment so it's best to prevent the issue in the first place.

What our Clients Say
Here are a few of our past clients
I own a construction company and we regularly sub out work to VA Commercial Paving because they are always reliable and I don't have to check behind them. Any general contractor will let you know that finding the right subs is like pulling teeth (most of the time). I have NEVER had a problem with Jordan and his crews. Always quality work and always a great price. If you are looking for your own sub-contractor for large jobs or want to use them as your main then you can't go wrong.
Our experience with Jordan was flawless. His bid came in several thousand dollars lower than the two other bids that we received for our parking lot (which initially had me worried) but he did a perfect job and knocked it out quickly. Full disclosure here, I now have him as a client (I generate leads for small businesses). He never lets me down. Always takes care of the business I send him and always gets good reviews. I wish I could say that about all my clients!
I'm a general contractor that mostly does roofing work but I refer out Jordan all the time (I don't refer a lot of people because I'm not willing to put my name on the line for just anyone). I ALWAYS get positive feedback from the other contractors I refer him to or any of the owners I refer him to). It makes me feel good knowing that when I refer him because I am 100% confident he is going to do quality work.
