Your parking lot isn’t just pavement—it’s the first impression customers get of your business. A professionally paved lot eliminates safety hazards, reduces liability risks, and actually boosts your property value.
You won’t deal with constant pothole repairs or embarrassing cracks that make your business look neglected. Instead, you get smooth, durable asphalt that handles Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy traffic without falling apart.
The result? Customers feel confident pulling into your lot, employees aren’t dodging puddles and potholes, and you’re not constantly explaining away your property’s appearance to visitors.
We bring nearly 75 years of paving expertise to Lower Southampton, serving the community since our family roots began in 1948. We understand the unique challenges of Bucks County’s climate and soil conditions.
Unlike contractors who rush between multiple jobs, we focus on one project at a time. The owner personally oversees every job, ensuring the same attention to detail whether you’re paving a small business lot or a major commercial facility.
Our approach resonates with Lower Southampton’s professional community—from the healthcare facilities near St. Mary Medical Center to the retail establishments along Bustleton Pike. We treat every client like our most important client because that’s how sustainable businesses operate.
First, we assess your property’s specific needs, including drainage patterns, soil conditions, and traffic requirements. This isn’t a quick walkthrough—we examine the subgrade, measure properly, and identify potential issues before they become expensive problems.
Next comes proper preparation, which most contractors skip to save time. We excavate to the right depth, install proper base materials, and ensure adequate drainage—the foundation work that determines whether your parking lot lasts five years or twenty-five years.
Finally, we apply high-quality asphalt mix designed for your specific traffic load and climate conditions. We handle grading, compaction, and striping to ensure your lot meets ADA requirements and provides safe, organized traffic flow from day one.

Your parking lot paving project includes everything needed for a professional result: proper excavation, base installation, asphalt application, and line striping. We handle permits, ensure ADA compliance, and coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your business operations.
Lower Southampton’s diverse commercial landscape—from professional offices to retail centers—requires different paving approaches. A medical office needs smooth, accessible surfaces, while a retail center requires heavy-duty construction for delivery trucks and high traffic volumes.
We also provide ongoing maintenance services because even the best parking lot needs care. Sealcoating every few years, crack repair when needed, and periodic restriping keep your investment looking professional and functioning properly for decades.
Most commercial parking lots in Lower Southampton take 2-5 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. Weather plays a role—we won’t pour asphalt if rain is forecast within 24 hours because moisture compromises the cure.
The timeline includes one day for excavation and base preparation, one day for asphalt installation, and additional time for striping once the surface cures. We coordinate with your business schedule to minimize customer disruption.
For larger projects like shopping centers or medical facilities, we often work in phases so you can maintain partial operations throughout the process.
Repairs typically cost 30-50% less initially, but they’re often temporary fixes that need repeated attention. If more than 30% of your lot shows significant damage, replacement usually provides better long-term value.
Complete replacement includes proper drainage, updated ADA compliance, and modern traffic flow design. You’re not just getting new asphalt—you’re getting a parking lot designed to handle today’s requirements and traffic patterns.
We provide detailed cost comparisons showing both immediate expenses and projected maintenance costs over 10-15 years, so you can make an informed decision based on your budget and business goals.
Pennsylvania’s climate requires specific techniques that many contractors ignore. We use asphalt mixes formulated for temperature fluctuations and ensure proper drainage to prevent water infiltration that causes freeze damage.
Base preparation is critical—we compact to specific density requirements and use gradations that provide stability during freeze-thaw cycles. Proper thickness also matters; we don’t cut corners on asphalt depth to save money.
Timing matters too. We avoid paving during temperature transitions and ensure adequate curing time before winter weather hits. This attention to climate factors is why our lots last decades instead of requiring major repairs after a few harsh winters.
Yes, we bring existing lots up to current ADA standards during repaving or major repairs. This includes proper slope gradients, accessible parking space dimensions, and compliant pathway connections to building entrances.
Many Lower Southampton businesses discover compliance issues during routine maintenance. Rather than piecemeal fixes, we develop comprehensive solutions that address all accessibility requirements while improving overall lot functionality.
We handle the technical specifications—slope calculations, space layouts, and signage placement—so you don’t have to worry about regulatory compliance. Our experience with local commercial properties means we understand common issues and effective solutions.
New parking lots need minimal maintenance for the first two years, then benefit from sealcoating every 3-4 years. We provide a maintenance schedule tailored to your specific traffic patterns and climate exposure.
Crack sealing becomes important after year three, especially in Pennsylvania where freeze-thaw cycles can create small fissures. Addressing these early prevents water infiltration and expensive structural damage.
Line striping typically needs refreshing every 2-3 years depending on traffic volume and weather exposure. We track maintenance schedules for our clients and provide reminders when service is due, helping you protect your investment proactively.
We phase larger projects so you can maintain customer access throughout construction. For smaller lots, we often work weekends or after business hours to avoid disrupting daily operations.
Communication is key—we provide detailed schedules, coordinate with your staff, and adjust timing if unexpected business needs arise. Our goal is completing quality work without damaging your customer relationships.
We also handle logistics like temporary signage, customer notifications, and coordination with delivery schedules. Many Lower Southampton businesses appreciate that we think through these operational details instead of just showing up and starting work.
