Our Maintenance Recommendations for Asphalt and Concrete Parking Lots
|
Regular cleaning: Sweep or blow debris from the surface of the parking lot on a regular basis. This will help prevent damage from oil and other chemicals that can be tracked in from vehicles.
|
|
|
Sealcoating: Sealcoating is a protective coating applied to the surface of an asphalt parking lot to protect it from the elements and extend its lifespan. It is generally recommended to have sealcoating applied every 2-5 years depending on the condition of the parking lot and the environment.
|
|
|
Crack filling: Asphalt parking lots will inevitably develop cracks over time. It is important to have these cracks filled as soon as they appear to prevent water from penetrating the surface and causing further damage.
|
|
|
Pothole repair: Potholes are a common problem in parking lots and should be repaired as soon as they appear. The quicker they are fixed the less chance of causing damage to vehicles and the less costly it will be.
|
|
|
Striping and painting: As previously mentioned, parking lot striping and marking should be done every 1-2 years, or as needed, to maintain clear lines and improve safety.
|
|
|
Snow and ice removal: During the winter months, it is important to keep the parking lot clear of snow and ice to maintain safety and accessibility.
|
|
|
Regular inspections: Regularly inspecting the parking lot for any signs of damage or wear, like potholes, cracks, or faded striping, can help prevent problems from escalating and keep the parking lot in good condition.
