Your parking lot isn’t just pavement—it’s the first thing customers see when they arrive. Cracked, pothole-riddled surfaces don’t just look unprofessional; they’re safety hazards waiting to happen.
When you invest in quality commercial paving, you’re getting more than smooth asphalt. You’re getting surfaces that handle heavy traffic without breaking down, proper drainage that prevents water damage, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your property won’t become a liability issue.
Professional installation means your parking lot will last years longer than quick-fix jobs. That translates to fewer repair calls, lower maintenance costs, and a property that maintains its value instead of declining every season.
We’ve been handling commercial paving projects since 1948. That’s three generations of learning what works and what doesn’t in Pennsylvania’s challenging climate.
We’re not the company that shows up, lays asphalt, and disappears. Every commercial project gets our full attention from start to finish. One crew, one job at a time—because rushing between multiple sites is how corners get cut and problems start.
Hilltown businesses choose us because we treat every project like it matters, whether it’s a small office parking area or a major industrial complex. Our approach is straightforward: understand what you need, explain exactly how we’ll handle it, and deliver results that last.
First, we assess your specific site conditions. Every property is different—soil composition, drainage patterns, traffic load expectations. We don’t use cookie-cutter approaches because they lead to premature failures.
Next comes proper site preparation. This means excavation to the right depth, installing proper base materials, and ensuring drainage systems will actually work. Most paving problems start here, so we don’t skip steps to save time.
Then we install the asphalt using materials that meet or exceed federal specifications. Proper compaction, correct temperatures, appropriate thickness for your expected traffic load. Finally, we handle line striping, ADA compliance markers, and any additional features your property needs to be fully functional.

Our commercial paving services cover everything from new parking lot installation to complete reconstruction of failing surfaces. We handle grading, drainage solutions, base preparation, asphalt installation, and all the finishing details that make your property functional.
Hilltown’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on asphalt surfaces. We account for local climate conditions in every project, using materials and techniques that hold up to Pennsylvania winters. That includes proper drainage design to prevent water infiltration and freeze damage.
We also provide ongoing maintenance services—sealcoating, crack filling, pothole repair, and line restriping. Regular maintenance extends pavement life significantly and costs far less than premature replacement. Many of our commercial clients have maintenance agreements that keep their properties looking professional year-round.
Most commercial parking lot projects take 3-7 business days, depending on size and complexity. Smaller office parking areas might be completed in 2-3 days, while larger retail or industrial sites can take a week or more.
Weather plays a big role in scheduling. We don’t install asphalt when temperatures are too low or when rain is expected, because these conditions compromise the final product. We’d rather reschedule than deliver substandard results.
We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your business operations. Many commercial projects are scheduled for weekends or during slower business periods. We’ll work with you to find timing that makes sense for your specific situation.
Asphalt repair works when damage is limited to surface issues—minor cracking, small potholes, or isolated problem areas. If less than 30% of your parking lot has significant damage, targeted repairs usually make economic sense.
Complete replacement becomes necessary when the base has failed, when there’s extensive cracking throughout the surface, or when the existing asphalt is too thin for the traffic load it’s handling. Trying to patch extensively damaged pavement is like putting bandages on a broken bone.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of what your parking lot actually needs. Sometimes property owners are surprised that their “terrible” parking lot only needs strategic repairs, while other times what looks like minor surface damage indicates major underlying problems.
Proper drainage starts with site grading. Water needs somewhere to go, and it will find a way whether we plan for it or not. We design drainage systems that direct water away from the building and off the pavement surface efficiently.
This usually involves installing catch basins, drain inlets, and underground piping systems. The exact approach depends on your site’s topography, soil conditions, and local municipal requirements. Some projects need retention ponds or infiltration systems to manage stormwater runoff.
Poor drainage is the number one cause of premature pavement failure. Water that sits on or under asphalt will cause cracking, potholes, and base failure. We address drainage issues as part of every commercial paving project, not as an afterthought.
New asphalt should be sealcoated 6-12 months after installation, then every 2-3 years depending on traffic volume. Sealcoating protects against UV damage, water penetration, and chemical spills that can deteriorate the surface.
Crack filling should be done promptly when cracks appear. Small cracks that are sealed quickly won’t become big problems. Cracks that are ignored will expand, allow water penetration, and eventually require more expensive repairs.
Line striping typically needs refreshing every 1-2 years to maintain visibility and professional appearance. We also recommend annual inspections to catch small issues before they become major problems. Preventive maintenance costs a fraction of what major repairs or replacement cost.
Commercial paving costs vary significantly based on size, site conditions, and project complexity. Simple overlay projects might run $3-5 per square foot, while complete reconstruction with extensive site work can cost $8-12 per square foot or more.
Factors that affect pricing include excavation requirements, base material needs, drainage system complexity, accessibility for equipment, and any special requirements like ADA compliance features. Properties with difficult access or unusual site conditions will cost more than straightforward projects.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all project components. No surprise charges or vague “additional work” fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and why each element is necessary for a successful project.
Yes, we regularly coordinate commercial projects to minimize business disruption. This might mean working in phases so part of your parking lot remains accessible, or scheduling work during off-hours or slower business periods.
For retail businesses, we often work weekends or early morning hours. For office complexes, we might phase the work so employees can still park while sections are being completed. Each situation requires a customized approach.
We’ll discuss your business needs during the planning phase and develop a work schedule that makes sense. Sometimes this means the project takes a few days longer, but keeping your business operational during construction is usually worth the extra coordination effort.
