Your parking lot becomes an asset, not a liability. No more apologizing to customers for potholes or worrying about liability issues from cracked pavement.
A properly paved lot in Lawrence Township can last 12-15 years with the right base preparation and drainage design. You’ll see fewer maintenance calls, better curb appeal, and customers who actually want to visit your business.
The difference is in the details. Proper compaction, quality materials, and understanding how New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles affect asphalt. Most contractors skip these steps to save money, which costs you thousands later.
We’ve been serving Lawrence Township since 2000, with family roots in the paving industry dating back to 1948. We understand how Lawrence’s unique climate affects asphalt surfaces.
Located in nearby Ringoes, we know the local landscape. From the historic Lawrenceville School district to modern commercial developments like those near Quaker Bridge Mall, we’ve paved surfaces that complement Lawrence Township’s commitment to maintaining beautiful, functional spaces.
Our approach is simple: one job at a time, full attention to detail, and treating every client like our most important client. Over 25,000 satisfied customers trust us because we show up when we say we will and deliver exactly what we promise.
First, we evaluate your existing surface and drainage patterns. Lawrence Township’s topography requires careful attention to water management – standing water is asphalt’s biggest enemy.
Next comes proper preparation. We mill off damaged areas, repair any base failures, and ensure proper compaction. This isn’t where you want to cut corners. The base determines whether your lot lasts 5 years or 15 years.
Finally, we install the asphalt at the right thickness for your traffic load. Commercial lots typically need 2-3 inches of quality hot mix asphalt, properly compacted while still hot. We finish with clean edges and proper line striping so your lot looks professional from day one.

Our parking lot paving service covers everything from small retail strips to large office complexes. In Lawrence Township’s growing commercial market, we’ve handled projects ranging from medical offices to shopping centers.
Each project includes proper base preparation, quality asphalt installation, and professional line striping. We also handle drainage corrections, which is crucial in areas like Lawrence where seasonal water management can make or break your pavement’s longevity.
Lawrence Township’s mix of historic properties and modern developments requires contractors who understand both preservation standards and current commercial needs. We work with local building codes and can coordinate with other trades when your project involves broader property improvements.
Commercial parking lot paving in Lawrence typically costs $2.00 to $7.00 per square foot, depending on the project’s complexity. A simple overlay runs on the lower end, while full reconstruction with drainage improvements costs more.
The wide price range reflects different approaches to the same job. Cheap contractors skip base repairs and proper drainage, which leads to premature failure. Quality work includes milling damaged areas, fixing drainage issues, and using proper asphalt thickness for your traffic load.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re getting. No surprises, no hidden costs, and no corners cut on the work that determines how long your investment lasts.
Most commercial parking lots in Lawrence can be paved in 1-3 days, depending on size and whether we need to work in phases to keep your business operational. A typical 10,000 square foot lot takes about two days from start to finish.
Day one involves milling and base preparation. Day two covers asphalt installation and initial compaction. We return after 24-48 hours for line striping once the asphalt has properly cured.
For busy commercial properties, we can phase the work to minimize disruption. We’ll pave sections so you can keep serving customers while we complete the project. This approach takes longer but keeps your business running smoothly.
The ideal paving season in Lawrence runs from April through October when temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees. Asphalt needs warm weather for proper compaction and curing.
Spring and fall often offer the best scheduling flexibility and sometimes better pricing. Summer is peak season, which can mean higher costs and longer wait times. Winter paving is possible but more expensive due to special procedures required for cold weather installation.
We recommend planning your project in late winter or early spring. This gives you first choice of scheduling and ensures the work gets done before the busy summer season drives up prices and availability becomes limited.
Yes, drainage correction is often the most important part of a parking lot paving project in Lawrence. Standing water destroys asphalt faster than heavy traffic, especially during New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles.
We use laser grading systems to identify problem areas and can profile mill low spots to improve drainage flow. For severe drainage issues, we install leveling courses or recommend additional drainage infrastructure before paving.
Lawrence Township’s topography means every property has unique drainage challenges. We evaluate each site individually and include necessary drainage corrections in our project scope. It’s not an optional add-on – it’s essential for long-term pavement performance.
A properly installed commercial parking lot in Lawrence typically lasts 12-15 years with routine maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate asphalt thickness, and good drainage design.
New Jersey’s climate is tough on asphalt. Hot summers, cold winters, and significant rainfall require proactive maintenance. We recommend sealcoating every 2-3 years and prompt crack repair to prevent water infiltration before winter.
Properties that skip maintenance see problems in 5-7 years. Those that follow our maintenance recommendations often get 15-20 years from their investment. The difference is in protecting your asphalt from water damage and UV deterioration before small problems become expensive repairs.
We focus on one job at a time instead of running multiple crews across different projects. This means Mark Harrison, the owner, personally oversees your project from start to finish. You’re not dealing with subcontractors or rushed work.
Our family has been in the paving business since 1948, and we’ve been serving the Lawrence area since 2000. We understand local conditions, work with local suppliers, and have built our reputation on projects that last. Over 25,000 satisfied customers trust us for a reason.
Most importantly, we treat every project like it matters. Whether you’re a small business owner or manage multiple commercial properties, you get the same attention to detail and commitment to quality. We’re not the cheapest option, but we’re the one that saves you money long-term through work that actually lasts.
