Parking Lot Maintenance Services

A comprehensive parking lot maintenance schedule should include: annual inspections to identify issues, crack sealing every 1-2 years to prevent water damage, sealcoating every 2-3 years to protect the surface, and line striping every 1-2 years or as needed to maintain visibility and ADA compliance.

High-traffic parking lots (retail, restaurants, shopping centers) may need more frequent attention. Preventive maintenance costs far less than emergency repairs or full replacement. A parking lot that receives regular care can last 20-25 years, while a neglected lot may need replacement in 10-15 years.

Potholes form when water seeps through cracks in the pavement, weakening the base layer underneath. In North Texas, freeze-thaw cycles cause this water to expand and contract, creating voids beneath the surface. Traffic then breaks through the weakened asphalt, forming a pothole. Poor drainage also accelerates pothole formation.

Prevention is key: Seal cracks promptly before water can penetrate, maintain proper drainage to keep water away from pavement edges, apply sealcoating to create a waterproof barrier, and repair minor damage before it becomes a major problem. Regular inspections catch small issues before they become expensive potholes.

Yes, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires accessible parking spaces for businesses and public facilities. Requirements include: designated accessible spaces based on total parking capacity (typically 1 accessible space per 25 regular spaces), proper signage and pavement markings, appropriate space dimensions (minimum 8 feet wide with a 5-foot access aisle), and van-accessible spaces for larger facilities.

Non-compliance can result in expensive fines and lawsuits. We ensure all striping work meets current ADA standards, including proper placement near accessible entrances, correct signage, and clear visibility. Regular restriping maintains compliance as paint fades over time.

Yes! We specialize in minimizing disruption to your business. For many maintenance tasks (crack sealing, minor repairs, striping), we can work in phases or sections, keeping most of your parking lot accessible. We often schedule work during off-peak hours, early mornings, evenings, or weekends when traffic is lighter.

For major work like sealcoating that requires full closure, we'll coordinate timing to minimize impact—perhaps during a holiday when you're closed or over a weekend. We provide clear signage, traffic control, and communication to direct customers to available parking. Our goal is professional results with minimal disruption to your operations.
