How to Maintain Your Asphalt Parking Lot

As an owner or manager of a commercial or industrial property, you know that maintaining your asphalt parking lot is essential to its longevity and appearance. Proper maintenance can help extend the life of your pavement, improve its appearance, and reduce the need for costly repairs.

At Sosco Paving, Inc., we understand the importance of maintaining your asphalt parking lot and offer a range of services to help you keep your pavement in top condition. From regular crack repair and sealcoating to full restoration, we have the skills and expertise to help you maintain your asphalt parking lot.

Here are a few tips for maintaining your asphalt parking lot:

1. Sweep and clean regularly

Sweeping and cleaning your parking lot on a regular basis can help remove dirt, debris, and leaves that can accumulate on the surface. This can help prevent damage to the asphalt and keep it looking clean and attractive. In addition to sweeping, you may also want to consider pressure washing your parking lot to remove built-up grime and stains. Our team at Sosco Paving can help you maintain the cleanliness of your parking lot with regular sweeping and pressure washing services.

2. Repair cracks and potholes promptly

Small cracks and potholes may seem insignificant, but they can quickly turn into larger problems if left unchecked. It’s important to repair cracks and potholes as soon as they appear to prevent further damage and extend the life of your pavement. Neglecting to repair these issues can lead to more extensive and costly repairs down the line. At Sosco Paving, we offer crack repair and pothole repair services to help you keep your pavement in good condition.

3. Sealcoat your asphalt

Sealcoating your asphalt can help protect it from the elements and prevent it from deteriorating. It’s a good idea to sealcoat your pavement every two to three years to keep it in good condition. Sealcoating helps to fill in small cracks and creates a protective barrier against water, oil, and other substances that can damage your asphalt. Our team at Sosco Paving is skilled in the art of sealcoating and can help you protect your asphalt pavement.

4. Re-stripe as needed

Re-striping your parking lot can help improve its appearance and safety. It’s a good idea to re-stripe your lot every year or two to keep it looking fresh and well-marked. This is especially important if you have a high volume of traffic or if you’ve made changes to the layout of your parking lot. At Sosco Paving, we offer re-striping services to help you keep your parking lot well-marked and safe for your patrons.

5. Consider a preventive maintenance program

Preventive maintenance programs can help you stay on top of the maintenance needs of your asphalt parking lot. These programs typically include regular inspections, cleaning, and repairs to help prevent problems before they occur. At Sosco Paving, we offer preventive maintenance programs to help you keep your asphalt parking lot in top condition.
