Hear From Our Clients
You get a parking lot that actually works for your business. No standing water after storms, no cracking by spring, no emergency repairs that shut down operations.
Your customers park safely, employees access the building without dodging potholes, and you stop worrying about liability issues from damaged pavement. The asphalt stays smooth, the drainage works, and the striping stays visible.
Most importantly, you deal directly with the owner from estimate to completion. No middlemen, no confusion, no wondering if the job will get done right.
We’ve been handling parking lot paving in Rockhurst and the surrounding region since day one. Owner-operated means you get straight answers, competitive pricing, and someone who actually shows up when they say they will.
We’ve paved everything from small office complexes to large retail centers. Every project gets the same approach: proper base preparation, quality materials, and attention to drainage that prevents the problems you see with other contractors’ work.
Local property owners choose us because we understand how Rockhurst’s weather patterns affect pavement. We time projects right, use proven methods, and stand behind our work year-round.
First, we evaluate your existing lot and drainage situation. You get a detailed estimate that covers everything – no hidden costs or change orders later.
Next, we handle permits and scheduling around your business operations. Proper base preparation comes first because that’s what separates a 5-year job from a 20-year job. We grade for proper water flow, compact the base correctly, and use quality asphalt mix designed for commercial traffic.
Final step includes professional striping, ADA compliance markings, and a walkthrough to ensure everything meets your specifications. You get documentation for your records and direct contact information for any future needs.

Your parking lot paving project covers complete site preparation, proper drainage solutions, and professional asphalt installation. We handle base grading, aggregate placement, and hot-mix asphalt application using commercial-grade equipment.
In Rockhurst’s climate, proper drainage isn’t optional. We install catch basins, grade for water flow, and ensure your lot doesn’t become a pond during heavy rains. The region’s freeze-thaw cycles demand specific preparation techniques that prevent early cracking and settling.
Every project includes professional line striping, ADA-compliant spaces, and proper signage placement. You also get emergency response capability for urgent repairs and seasonal maintenance options to protect your investment long-term.
Most commercial parking lots take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. Weather plays a role – we won’t start if rain is forecast because moisture ruins the base preparation and asphalt bonding.
The process breaks down to roughly one day for base prep and grading, one day for asphalt installation, and one day for striping and finishing work. Larger lots or those requiring extensive drainage work take longer.
We schedule around your business operations whenever possible. Many retail centers prefer work during weekdays when traffic is lighter, while office complexes often choose weekends to minimize disruption.
An overlay adds new asphalt over existing pavement when the base is still solid. It costs less but only works if drainage is adequate and the foundation isn’t compromised.
Full reconstruction means removing everything down to the dirt, rebuilding the base, and installing new asphalt. This costs more upfront but lasts 20+ years versus 7-10 for overlays.
We evaluate your existing lot and recommend the right approach. If you have drainage issues, settlement problems, or extensive cracking, overlay is just throwing money away. Better to do it right once than patch it repeatedly.
Drainage problems kill parking lots faster than traffic. We grade your lot with proper slope – typically 1-2% toward drainage points – and install catch basins where needed.
In Rockhurst, clay soil and seasonal water table changes create unique challenges. We often need to install aggregate base deeper than standard specs and add underdrain systems for problem areas.
Standing water after storms means your current lot wasn’t graded correctly. We fix the grade during reconstruction and ensure water moves off the surface quickly. Proper drainage prevents freeze-thaw damage that creates potholes and cracks.
Late spring through early fall works best – typically May through September. Asphalt needs ambient temperatures above 50°F consistently for proper curing and compaction.
Winter paving is possible for emergency repairs but not ideal for full installations. Cold weather shortens working time and prevents proper bonding. Summer heat above 90°F also creates problems with material handling.
We schedule major projects during optimal weather windows and maintain flexibility for emergency work. Planning your project during peak season ensures better results and faster completion times.
Commercial parking lot paving typically runs $2.75-$5.50 per square foot in our area, depending on base conditions, drainage needs, and project complexity.
Full reconstruction costs more than overlay work, but provides better long-term value. Add-ons like extensive drainage, concrete curbing, or specialized striping increase the total investment.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs – materials, labor, permits, and finishing work. No surprises or change orders unless you request additional work during the project.
Yes, we handle ongoing maintenance including sealcoating, crack sealing, line restriping, and pothole repairs. Regular maintenance extends pavement life significantly and prevents major reconstruction needs.
Sealcoating should happen every 2-3 years to protect against weather damage and oil stains. We track maintenance schedules and contact you when service is due.
Emergency repairs get priority response because we know parking lot problems don’t wait for convenient timing. Having the original installer handle maintenance ensures consistency and protects your warranty coverage.
