Elements of a Well-Maintained Parking Lot
There are four key factors that contribute to a parking lot that is well-cared for:
- Smooth, sealed black surface
- Bright, clear markings to facilitate smooth traffic and parking
- Sealed cracks to protect the asphalt from further damage
- Without potholes that could cause serious accidents
How to Maintain Your Parking Lot
Pavement is weakened by exposure to sun and water, weight of vehicles and flexibility in the pavement. Here are some things you can do to prolong the life of your investment:
- Remove obstructions from catch basins and storm water structures to avoid water damage.
- Remove accumulated debris and latent materials from the asphalt surface to prevent the growth of moss that can break through and weaken the pavement.
- Fill cracks and sealcoat regularly
