How we do it

What moves the price

Paving in Canton

Before the paver: prepping a Canton parking lot

A parking lot is only as good as what is under it. Before any new asphalt goes down, we look at what the old lot is doing: where water sits, where the surface has broken up, and which lanes carry the delivery trucks. Those answers set the plan, and the thickness is spec'd per job after we see the site.

On an existing lot, prep can mean milling the old surface at the curbs so the new asphalt meets them flush, or cutting out failed areas and rebuilding the base underneath. On a new lot, the crew grades the ground and builds a compacted crushed limestone base sloped to carry water off the pavement and toward the drains.

Your quote spells all of this out. It has a line item for each service, each with its own scope, so you can see what the prep covers and what the paving covers. We come out by appointment to see the site, and the free written quote often follows the same day.

Milled at the curbs

Old asphalt is milled down along curbs and entrances, so the new surface meets them at the right height and water still reaches the drains.

Bad spots rebuilt

Where the base has failed, the crew cuts the area out and rebuilds it before paving. Asphalt laid over a failed spot only brings the damage back.

Graded for water

On new work, the base is graded around the building so rain runs off the lot and into the drains instead of standing in the stalls.

Industrial paving

How the asphalt goes down on a Canton parking lot

Paving a lot works like a relay. Dump trucks bring hot asphalt and feed it into the front of the paver. The paver lays it across the base in lanes, and the operator keeps each lane lined up with the one beside it so the seams stay tight.

At the curbs and around light poles, islands, and drains, the paver can't get close enough. Crew members place asphalt there with shovels and rakes, then pack it down, and a skid steer moves material where the space is tight. Those edges are where a lot usually starts to fail, so they get the same attention as the open lanes. Before the crew moves on, they check that water can still reach every drain.

Rollers work right behind the paver while the asphalt is hot, pressing each lane flat and tight. Delivery lanes and entrances that carry trucks are built heavier than the parking rows. If customers need a way in while we work, we sequence the lanes so part of the lot stays usable.

Trucks feed the paver

Each truck backs up and empties into the paver's hopper, so the machine keeps moving and the mat goes down at a steady depth across the lot.

Hand work at the curb

The paver runs close to the curb, and the crew finishes the last strip by hand, raked level and packed so the edge doesn't break off later.

Rolled while hot

The surface has to be compacted before it cools, so the roller operator stays close behind the paver, lane after lane, until the lot is tight.

Opening your Canton parking lot back up

Once the rollers finish, the hard part is waiting. Cars can use the new lot after about 24 hours. Delivery trucks and other heavy vehicles should wait 48 to 72 hours, because fresh asphalt can rut under a heavy load. We cone off the fresh areas so nobody pulls in early, and tell you which entrance to send customers and deliveries to.

Then our own crews stripe it: stalls, ADA spaces and access aisles, fire lanes, and arrows, all laid out for your lot. The commercial fast-dry paint is ready in about 30 minutes, so striping doesn't keep the lot closed for long. The paving itself usually takes 1 to 2 days on average.

The asphalt keeps curing for 6 to 12 months. During that time, try to keep trucks from turning their wheels in place. After it cures, the lot gets its first sealcoat, and from then on, crack filling and sealcoating every 1 to 2 years keep it going. With that upkeep, asphalt lasts 20 to 30 years.

§ 04 · FAQ

Straight answers on Parking Lot Paving.

Q · 01 Can my Canton business stay open while you pave the lot?
+

Usually, yes. We plan the work around your hours and pave in sections when we can, so customers still have a way in.

Q · 02 What happens at the curbs and drains?
+

The paver can't reach tight to every curb, drain, and island, so the crew places and packs asphalt there by hand. Along curbs we may mill the old surface first so the new asphalt meets them at the right height.

Q · 03 Do you sub out any part of the paving?
+

No. Our own crews do the paving and never sub it out. Striping, ADA markings, and concrete work are done by our own employees too.

Q · 04 How soon can delivery trucks use the new lot?
+

Cars after about 24 hours. Delivery trucks and other heavy vehicles should wait 48 to 72 hours.

Q · 05 Why are the truck lanes built heavier?
+

Trucks put far more weight on the pavement than cars. Drive lanes and entrances that carry them are built heavier than the parking rows, with the thickness spec'd per job after we see the site.

Q · 06 How soon can you start on our lot?
+

Most jobs are scheduled within 2 to 3 weeks of the deposit. Urgent repairs can often go sooner, sometimes within 10 days.

Q · 07 Do you pave lots in Historic Downtown Canton?
+

Yes. We pave lots in Historic Downtown, North Canton, and the rest of Madison County, by appointment at your property.

Q · 08 How often should I repave or resurface?
+

It depends on the traffic and the upkeep. A lot that gets crack filling and sealcoating every 1 to 2 years goes much longer before it needs a new layer, and with that upkeep asphalt typically lasts 20 to 30 years before a full repave.

Q · 09 What is the cost of paving a parking lot?
+

Pricing depends on square footage, base condition, and striping. We look at the lot and send a free written quote with a line item and scope for each service.

Q · 10 Do you do the striping yourselves or hire it out?
+

Our own employees do it. Stall lines, ADA spaces, fire lanes, arrows, crosswalks, and custom markings are all done in-house, on the same schedule as the paving.
