You need a parking lot that works as hard as you do. One that handles delivery trucks, employee traffic, and customer visits without cracking under pressure or creating liability issues.
When your asphalt is installed right the first time, you’re looking at years of reliable service. No emergency repairs during busy seasons. No customer complaints about potholes. No water pooling that turns into expensive foundation problems.
Your property looks professional, functions smoothly, and gives you one less thing to worry about. That’s what proper commercial paving delivers.
Productive Asphalt has been handling commercial paving projects since 1948. Three generations of hands-on experience in Windsor and throughout New Jersey means we’ve seen every challenge this area can throw at a paving project.
We focus on one job at a time. When we’re working on your property, that’s where our full crew and attention goes. No juggling multiple sites or rushing to the next project.
Our approach is straightforward: treat every client like the most important client, communicate clearly throughout the process, and deliver work that stands up to real-world use. The five-star reviews and repeat business speak to that commitment.
Every commercial paving project starts with a thorough site evaluation. We assess drainage, traffic patterns, and soil conditions to design a surface that handles your specific needs.
Preparation comes next – proper grading, base installation, and addressing any drainage issues before the first drop of asphalt goes down. This foundation work determines how long your pavement lasts.
Installation follows proven methods with quality materials and equipment. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your operations while maintaining the standards that keep surfaces performing for years. You get regular updates throughout the process so you know exactly where things stand.

Commercial paving in Windsor requires understanding local soil conditions, weather patterns, and municipal requirements. The area’s clay-heavy soils and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles demand specific installation techniques to prevent premature failure.
We handle everything from initial site preparation and grading to final surface application and line striping. We manage water drainage systems, ADA compliance requirements, and coordinate with local inspectors to keep projects moving smoothly.
Our service includes custom solutions for unique challenges – whether that’s accommodating heavy truck traffic, working around existing utilities, or phasing installation to keep your business operational. Each project receives the same attention to detail regardless of size.
Most commercial paving projects take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. A standard retail parking lot runs about 3 days – one day for preparation and base work, one day for asphalt installation, and one day for final details like striping.
Weather plays a role in timing. Asphalt needs dry conditions and temperatures above 50 degrees for proper installation. If rain interrupts the schedule, it’s better to wait than rush and compromise quality.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. We understand business operations can’t stop, so we work efficiently while maintaining the standards that ensure long-term performance.
Commercial paving handles much heavier loads and more frequent traffic than residential work. The base preparation needs to be thicker and more robust to support delivery trucks, employee vehicles, and customer traffic without developing ruts or soft spots.
Commercial projects also require ADA compliance for accessibility, proper drainage to prevent water damage to buildings, and often need coordination with local municipalities for permits and inspections. The asphalt mix itself may be different to handle the increased wear.
Installation scheduling is more complex too. Commercial paving often needs to be phased to keep businesses operational, which requires more planning and coordination than a residential driveway project.
Proper drainage starts with the initial site evaluation. We identify where water naturally flows and design the grading to direct it away from buildings and high-traffic areas. This prevents the water damage that destroys pavement from underneath.
Installation includes creating the right slope – enough to move water efficiently but not so much that it creates safety issues or uneven surfaces. We install catch basins, drainage pipes, and other infrastructure as needed to handle Windsor’s seasonal rainfall.
Poor drainage is the number one cause of premature pavement failure. Water that pools or seeps under asphalt creates soft spots, cracks, and eventually potholes. Getting the drainage right during installation saves major headaches and expenses later.
Commercial paving costs depend on several factors: square footage, current condition of the area, drainage requirements, and access challenges. A basic parking lot overlay runs differently than a complete reconstruction with new base material.
Site preparation often represents a significant portion of the cost but it’s essential for long-term performance. Proper base work and drainage may cost more upfront but prevent expensive repairs down the road. Skipping these steps to save money usually backfires.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material, labor, and any additional work needed. We explain what’s included and why each step matters for the finished result. No surprise charges or hidden fees after work begins.
Light vehicle traffic can typically resume 24-48 hours after installation, depending on weather conditions and asphalt temperature. The surface needs time to cool and cure properly before handling the weight and stress of regular use.
Heavy trucks and delivery vehicles should wait 3-5 days to prevent tire marks and surface damage. Hot asphalt is soft and can be easily damaged by heavy loads or sharp turns until it fully cures.
We provide specific guidance based on your business needs and traffic patterns. We can schedule installation to minimize disruption – like completing work over weekends or during slower business periods when possible.
Yes, we handle ongoing maintenance including crack sealing, pothole repair, and sealcoating to extend pavement life. Regular maintenance is much more cost-effective than waiting for major reconstruction needs.
Sealcoating every 2-3 years protects the surface from weather damage and keeps it looking professional. Crack sealing prevents water infiltration that leads to bigger problems. Small repairs handled promptly prevent them from becoming major issues.
We can set up a maintenance schedule that fits your budget and keeps your pavement performing well. We know the surfaces we’ve installed and can spot potential problems before they become expensive repairs.
