Commercial asphalt paving is a structural system, not a surface treatment. We build that system from the subgrade up — engineered base, binder course, and surface course — to carry decades of truck traffic, freeze-thaw cycles, and the daily load of an active commercial property.
Our Process
Step-by-step,
self-performed.
- 01
Site Assessment & Layout
Field measurements, drainage review, soil and base evaluation, and a mix and section spec tuned to the use case — retail vs. industrial vs. municipal.
- 02
Demolition & Excavation
Sawcut clean joints, remove failed asphalt and unsuitable subgrade, and haul off using our own equipment and trucking.
- 03
Subgrade & Aggregate Base
Proof-roll, compact, and place dense-graded aggregate base to spec thickness with engineered compaction so the system actually performs.
- 04
Binder Course
Lay a coarse-graded binder lift for structural strength — the layer most contractors cut to win price.
- 05
Surface Course
Place the dense-graded surface lift hot, compact behind the screed in a tight rolling pattern, and tie cleanly into curbs, gutters, and adjacent pavement.
- 06
Striping & Punch
Final striping, ADA layout, signage coordination, and a walk-through with the property contact.
Materials & Equipment
What we run
- State-DOT-spec hot mix asphalt (binder + surface)
- Dense-graded crushed aggregate base
- Geotextile fabric over poor subgrades when required
- Pavers, screeds, double-drum and pneumatic rollers — self-owned
- Skid steers, mini-excavators, and tandem dumps in our fleet
When It's Needed
Signs to look for
- Lot is past patching — alligator cracking covers more than ~25% of surface
- Base failures keep returning no matter how many times you patch
- Drainage problems: standing water, birdbaths, ice-up in winter
- New construction or expansion — additional parking, drive aisles, access road
- Property repositioning, sale prep, or new tenant build-out
Problems It Solves
What it fixes
- Structural failure under truck and delivery routes
- Settled or sunken sections from poor original base
- Cracked, broken pavement at lot perimeters and curb lines
- Lots that have been resurfaced too many times and lost grade
FAQ
Straight answers.
How long does a commercial paving project take?
A typical 50,000 sq ft parking lot reconstruction runs 1–2 weeks weather permitting. We phase larger lots so the business stays open and traffic stays flowing.
Can you pave around an open business?
Yes — phased nights/weekends, half-lot rotations, and clear customer traffic plans are standard on our retail and multi-tenant jobs.
What's the difference between paving and overlay?
Paving rebuilds the structural system from the subgrade up. Overlay places a new wear course over an existing structurally sound base. We'll recommend the right one after a site walk — not before.
How long does new asphalt last?
A correctly built and maintained commercial lot lasts 20–25 years. The maintenance cycle (seal + crack fill) matters as much as the original install.
