Make Sure it’s Clean

Make sure that your commercial parking lot is always clean and free of excess dirt and debris. You want customers to know that your lot is kept up with well and that it’s welcoming for customers. It should be inviting to customers. If there are oil stains, it’s important to get them cleaned up as soon as you can. Oil breaks down asphalt and makes it wear out quicker.

Keep it Marked Properly

One of the biggest things to help your customers is to make sure that all the proper pavement markings are easily seen. Lines, arrows, and other markings are what keeps your parking lot safe. Make sure that they can be seen in any kind of lighting or weather. If they’re faded, it could cause an accident or hazard when someone isn’t able to make them out.

Cracks Should Be Repaired Quickly

Cracks in your asphalt can easily become bigger cracks or potholes if they’re left alone. This can be a hazard to both pedestrians and their vehicles. You don’t want to risk someone coming after your business because they injured themselves in your parking lot.

In addition, there are other things that can cause problems in your lot. Things like tree roots can grow and cause the asphalt to crack or become uneven. It’ll rise in places and cause tripping hazards. These things need to be fixed quickly before they grow into even bigger problems.

Sealcoat When it’s Needed

Around every two to four years, your lot will need to be seal-coated. When you sealcoat your lot, it helps protect water and other moisture from getting down into the asphalt. However, it also gives small openings in the top for moisture that’s already trapped. This moisture can be released and new moisture is prevented from getting in.

You’ll have to repaint your lines after sealcoating is done, but it’s one of the most important steps you can take for the longevity of your asphalt lot. Making sure that you’re doing this on time is one of the best ways to ensure your parking lot stays at its best.

Obtain Grading and Maintenance Services
