Frequently Asked Questions About Parking Lot Paving
How long does a newly paved parking lot last in San Marcos, TX?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, an asphalt parking lot can last 20–30 years. Factors such as traffic volume, weather, and upkeep will affect lifespan.
What’s the difference between resurfacing and repaving a parking lot?
Resurfacing (overlay) involves applying a new layer of asphalt on top of an existing base. Repaving means removing and replacing the entire structure. Resurfacing is typically more affordable, but repaving may be necessary if the base is damaged.
How often should I sealcoat my parking lot?
Sealcoating should generally be applied every 2–3 years to protect against UV rays, water, and vehicle fluids. This helps extend the life of your pavement and maintain its appearance.
Can potholes in my parking lot be repaired?
Yes. Potholes can be patched quickly and effectively. Early repairs prevent damage from spreading and reduce liability risks for drivers and pedestrians.
Will my business need to close during paving?
Not always. We work with business owners to phase projects or schedule work during off-hours to minimize disruption. Small repairs often allow for continued access.
Does asphalt paving meet ADA compliance requirements?
Yes. We provide striping, signage, and layout designs that follow ADA guidelines to ensure accessibility and compliance for your property.
How much does parking lot paving cost in San Marcos?
Pricing depends on lot size, site preparation, base condition, and material thickness. Asphalt is typically more affordable than concrete and provides strong long-term value.
