Asphalt Parking Lot Design
I need a new asphalt parking lot, where do I start?
The best place to start is getting a permit from your local government, if it’s required.
If permitting is required, the city and/or county will require the area be engineered and blue printed which can include drainage plans, emergency access, sub-grade specifications, mix design specifications, thickness requirements, compaction and density requirements and striping design and layout which includes handicap spaces and fire code. In this case you’ll obviously need to hire an engineering firm to design your new parking lot.
On the other hand, if your property is not subject to city and county specifications, a professional asphalt paving contractor can help you install a new asphalt parking lot pretty easily, but it is imperative you use a reputable paving contractor to help you get a good job that will last. Asphalt scammers look at a new parking lot that doesn’t need engineering as a cash cow. They have many dirty little secrets that will increase their profits and leave you with a sub-standard job.
If you have an existing asphalt parking lot and need it removed and replaced, be sure to point out any existing drainage problems to the contractor who bids the job so they can rectify them when replacing the parking lot.
