A properly installed parking lot means no more water pooling after every rainstorm. No more worrying about liability from potholes or uneven surfaces. No more watching your investment deteriorate faster than it should.
You get smooth, even asphalt that drains correctly. Surfaces that hold up to freeze-thaw cycles without turning into a cracked mess by spring. A parking area that makes your property look professional instead of run-down.
The difference comes down to how it’s built. The right sub-base preparation, proper compaction, quality materials, and attention to drainage. When those fundamentals are in place, your parking lot does its job for years without constant repairs eating into your budget.
We bring decades of hands-on paving experience to Lawrenceville properties. With roots in the industry dating back to 1948, we combine proven techniques with modern equipment to handle everything from small residential driveways to large commercial parking lots.
Our approach is straightforward: one crew, one job at a time, full attention on getting it right. Every project gets the same level of care, whether it’s a 10-space lot or a major commercial installation. Lawrenceville business owners and property managers work directly with experienced professionals who understand local conditions, drainage challenges, and what it takes for asphalt to survive New Jersey weather.
We’ve built our reputation on transparent communication, quality workmanship, and treating clients the way they’d want to be treated. Five-star reviews and repeat customers reflect that commitment.
It starts with an on-site assessment. We evaluate your property, discuss your needs, check drainage patterns, and provide a transparent quote with no hidden surprises.
Next comes site preparation. Any existing damaged asphalt gets removed. The area is graded for proper water runoff because standing water is the enemy of any parking lot. Then comes the most critical step: sub-base installation. This foundation layer gets compacted properly and tested with a proof roll to ensure it won’t shift or settle. If the base is weak, your parking lot will fail no matter what goes on top.
Once the sub-base is solid, hot-mix asphalt arrives and gets applied in precise passes. The paving machine lays it evenly while monitoring for consistent thickness and proper slope for drainage. Heavy vibratory rollers then compact the asphalt to the right density. Finally, the surface gets finished with line striping, ADA-compliant markings, and any additional features your property needs.
The entire process is managed with clear communication so you know exactly what’s happening and when you can use your parking lot again.

We handle the complete parking lot paving process for Lawrenceville commercial and residential properties. That includes new installation, resurfacing existing lots, repairs, proper drainage systems, grading, and water management solutions.
You get quality asphalt mixes designed for New Jersey conditions, not cheap substitutes that fail early. The installation includes proper sub-base preparation, which is non-negotiable for long-term durability. Line striping, ADA compliance work, and transition areas are handled as part of the complete package.
Lawrenceville properties face specific challenges. The area’s commercial developments need parking solutions that handle regular traffic without constant maintenance. Retail centers, office parks, and industrial facilities require asphalt that performs reliably through harsh winters and hot summers. Proper drainage is especially important given the region’s precipitation patterns.
Our service also includes honest assessments. Sometimes resurfacing makes more sense than full replacement. Sometimes drainage improvements matter more than new asphalt. You get recommendations based on what your property actually needs, not what generates the biggest invoice.
Timeline depends on your parking lot’s size and current condition. A typical commercial parking lot installation takes anywhere from a few days to a week, including site prep, base work, paving, and striping.
Smaller projects move faster. Larger lots or projects requiring significant drainage work take longer. The key factor is sub-base preparation, which can’t be rushed without compromising the entire installation.
Most businesses can resume normal operations within 24-48 hours after the final asphalt layer is applied, though heavy traffic should wait 72 hours for optimal curing. We work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring every step is done correctly. You’ll get a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific project.
The number one cause is poor sub-base preparation. If the foundation isn’t properly compacted and stable, the asphalt above will crack, sink, and fail within months regardless of how good the surface layer looks initially.
Inadequate drainage is the second major culprit. Water that can’t escape properly seeps under the asphalt, weakening the base and causing deterioration from below. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles accelerate this damage significantly.
Using inferior materials also leads to early failure. Some contractors cut costs with cheaper asphalt mixes that aren’t designed for commercial use or local climate conditions. Skipping proper compaction, ignoring drainage, or rushing through critical steps to save time all compromise longevity. A parking lot done right costs more upfront but avoids the expense and headache of premature replacement.
Cost varies based on size, current condition, drainage needs, and project scope. New installation costs more than resurfacing. Lots requiring extensive base repair or drainage work cost more than straightforward paving.
The real question isn’t just cost—it’s value. A cheap quote using inferior materials or shortcuts will cost significantly more when the lot fails early and needs replacement. Quality installation using proper techniques and materials delivers lower total cost over the parking lot’s lifespan.
We provide transparent quotes that break down exactly what you’re getting. No hidden fees or surprise charges. You’ll understand what work is being done and why it matters. The quote includes everything needed for a durable result, not just the minimum to make the price look attractive. Senior, military, and first-time customer discounts are available.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends entirely on the condition of the existing base and asphalt. If the current parking lot has a solid, stable foundation with only surface-level issues, resurfacing can be a cost-effective option.
However, if the base has failed, drainage is inadequate, or there’s significant cracking and settling, paving over it just covers up problems that will quickly resurface. You’ll waste money on new asphalt that fails because the foundation underneath can’t support it.
The right approach starts with an honest assessment. We examine your existing lot, check for base stability, evaluate drainage, and identify any underlying issues. You then get a recommendation based on what will actually work long-term. Sometimes that’s resurfacing, sometimes it’s removal and replacement. Either way, you’ll know why and what to expect.
Regular maintenance significantly extends your parking lot’s lifespan and protects your investment. Sealcoating should be done every 2-3 years to protect against UV damage, water infiltration, and chemical spills from vehicles.
Crack sealing should happen as soon as cracks appear. Small cracks that are sealed promptly don’t become big problems. Once water gets into cracks and reaches the base layer, damage accelerates quickly, especially during freeze-thaw cycles.
Line striping needs refreshing periodically to maintain visibility and professional appearance. An annual inspection helps catch minor issues before they become major repairs. Keeping the surface clean and addressing drainage problems promptly also matters. Proper maintenance costs far less than premature replacement and keeps your parking lot functional and attractive for many years.
We focus on one job at a time, which means your project gets our crew’s full attention instead of being one of several we’re juggling. That approach leads to better execution and fewer mistakes.
We bring decades of experience dating back to 1948, combining proven techniques with current best practices. Every project receives the same careful treatment regardless of size or budget. You’re not a small fish getting minimal attention—you’re the priority while your job is underway.
Transparent communication means you know what’s happening throughout the process. No surprises, no hidden costs, no disappearing after payment. Five-star reviews and repeat customers reflect that commitment to quality and service. We also offer specialized discounts for seniors, military members, and first-time customers. Our goal is straightforward: deliver parking lots that perform reliably for years and build long-term relationships based on trust and results.
