Parking Lot Paving in Casper, WY

Parking lot paving in Casper has to account for snow. Plows scrape the surface all winter and push snow into piles that melt every sunny afternoon. If that meltwater runs across the lot and refreezes, it creates ice hazards and works into every crack. A well-built lot drains to the right places, has thicker pavement where trucks and plows work hardest and gets its cracks filled before winter.

Structure

HomeGuide describes commercial pavement as 4 inches of asphalt or more, compared with 2 to 3 inches for a home driveway. Entrances, drive lanes, dumpster pads and loading areas take the most weight and usually fail first. We size those areas heavier and price them separately.

Snow storage

Where snow gets piled matters. We agree on a snow-pile spot with you and shape the grade so the melt heads for a drain or planting bed, never across a drive aisle or sidewalk.

Rebuild or overlay

Surface wear on a firm base calls for an overlay, at a fraction of rebuild cost. Wide patches of alligator cracking or spongy ground get excavated and rebuilt before any overlay. Many jobs combine both.

Striping and accessible parking

After paving, overlaying or seal coating, a lot needs restriping. Federal guidance treats a fresh set of lines as an alteration, which brings the accessible-parking rules of the 2010 ADA Standards into play. We lay out stalls, accessible spaces, aisles and arrows.

Plow damage and edges

Steel plow blades catch any raised edge, patch seam or manhole rim and peel it up. Over a few winters that turns into a ragged strip along curbs and at entrances. When we pave or overlay a lot, we keep seams tight and flush, taper the transitions at curbs and drains, and recommend plow shoes or rubber cutting edges for contractors who clear the lot.

Restriping on a calendar

Lines wear fast under plows, sand and chains. Many Casper property owners restripe every year or two, ideally right after a seal coat so the lot closes once. We can put your lot on a recurring list.

Keeping you open

We phase lot work so customers, tenants or congregations keep access, and we schedule around business hours and services when possible.
