Asphalt paving offers cost-effective solutions for commercial parking lots, access roads, and industrial yards. When properly constructed with adequate base preparation and appropriate asphalt thickness, paved surfaces deliver decades of service with routine maintenance.

DeSoto Concrete Contractors approaches asphalt construction with the same engineering discipline we apply to concrete work. Poor asphalt performance almost always traces to inadequate base preparation, improper drainage, or incorrect asphalt thickness for traffic loads. We design and construct asphalt systems engineered for actual site conditions and use requirements.

Our asphalt construction process includes site evaluation and drainage design, subgrade preparation and stabilization, aggregate base installation and compaction, asphalt paving in appropriate lifts, compaction to specified density, joint and transition details, and striping and marking.

Commercial applications have different requirements than municipal roads. Retail parking experiences turning and braking forces that require specific asphalt thickness. Loading docks and truck courts need heavy-duty sections. Employee parking can use lighter sections. We specify appropriate pavement structure for each use area within your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does asphalt compare to concrete for commercial parking?

Asphalt costs less initially but requires periodic seal coating and earlier replacement than concrete. Concrete has higher initial cost but lower lifecycle cost and longer lifespan. We model both options for your specific situation.

How long before new asphalt can handle traffic?

Asphalt can handle light traffic within hours of placement but continues hardening for weeks. We recommend limiting heavy traffic for 24-48 hours. Full curing takes several months but doesn't prevent use.

What thickness asphalt do commercial parking lots need?

Typical commercial parking uses 3-4 inches of asphalt over 6-8 inches of aggregate base. Heavy truck traffic areas need thicker sections. We design pavement structure based on soil conditions and expected traffic.

When should asphalt be sealed?

New asphalt should be sealed after 6-12 months, then every 2-3 years thereafter. Regular sealing extends pavement life by protecting against water infiltration, oxidation, and petroleum damage.
