You get a parking lot that handles Pennsylvania winters without cracking apart in spring. No more dealing with potholes that damage customer vehicles or create liability issues.
Your property looks professional again. Clean lines, smooth surface, proper drainage that doesn’t pool water by your entrance.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind. When you hire a contractor with 75 years of family expertise, you’re not gambling on whether we’ll show up tomorrow or disappear halfway through your project.
We’ve been serving Buckingham and surrounding areas since our family roots in paving began in 1948. We’ve seen every type of Pennsylvania soil condition, every weather challenge, and every property layout you can imagine.
Here’s what makes us different: we work on one job at a time. While other contractors juggle multiple sites and leave you wondering when they’ll return, our crew dedicates full attention to your project until it’s complete.
We treat every client like our most important client because that’s exactly what you are when we’re on your property. No rushing to the next job, no cutting corners to save time.
First, we assess your property and provide a detailed estimate that breaks down every aspect of the job. No hidden costs, no surprise charges later.
Next, we prepare the base properly. This means excavating to the right depth, ensuring proper drainage, and compacting the foundation that will support your asphalt for decades. Most paving failures happen because contractors skip steps here.
Then we install the asphalt using the right thickness for your traffic load and Pennsylvania’s climate. We’re not trying to save money on materials that you’ll pay for later in repairs.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk through the finished project with you. You’ll know exactly how to maintain your new parking lot and when to call us for future services.

Every parking lot paving project includes proper site preparation, base installation, and asphalt application designed for Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles. We handle the permits, coordinate with local utilities if needed, and ensure compliance with Buckingham Township requirements.
You also get our grading and water management expertise. Poor drainage destroys asphalt faster than heavy traffic, so we design proper slopes and drainage solutions during installation rather than trying to fix problems later.
We include cleanup and disposal of old materials, plus a thorough walkthrough of maintenance recommendations. You’ll know exactly how to protect your investment and extend the life of your new parking lot.
Most parking lot projects take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Weather plays a role since we can’t install asphalt in rain or when temperatures drop below 50 degrees.
The timeline includes one day for excavation and base preparation, one day for asphalt installation, and time for curing before you can drive on it. We schedule projects during optimal weather windows and communicate any delays immediately.
For commercial properties, we often work around your business hours to minimize disruption. We’ll coordinate timing that works best for your operations and customer access.
Commercial parking lots require thicker asphalt and stronger base preparation because they handle heavier traffic loads and larger vehicles. We typically install 3-4 inches of asphalt over a properly prepared stone base.
The design also considers different traffic patterns, ADA compliance requirements, and drainage needs. Commercial lots need proper striping, handicap spaces, and fire lane markings that meet local codes.
Residential driveways usually need 2-3 inches of asphalt since they handle lighter loads, but the quality of materials and installation process remains the same. Both get the same attention to detail and proper base preparation.
If more than 30% of your parking lot shows cracking, potholes, or drainage issues, replacement usually makes more financial sense than patching. Extensive cracking often indicates base failure that repairs can’t fix.
Look for alligator cracking (interconnected cracks that look like reptile skin), standing water after rain, or areas where the asphalt is breaking apart. These are signs the foundation is compromised and needs complete reconstruction.
We provide honest assessments during our site visits. Sometimes a section can be repaired while other areas need replacement. We’ll show you exactly what we’re seeing and explain why we recommend specific solutions.
Parking lot paving costs vary based on size, site conditions, and thickness requirements, but expect $3-7 per square foot for complete installation in the Buckingham area. Factors like excavation depth, drainage needs, and access difficulty affect pricing.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost component. This includes excavation, base materials, asphalt, and any additional work like striping or drainage improvements. No surprise charges later.
The lowest bid isn’t always the best value. Contractors who cut corners on base preparation or asphalt thickness create problems you’ll pay to fix within a few years. We focus on long-term value rather than winning with low prices.
Spring through fall offers the best conditions for asphalt paving in Pennsylvania. We need consistent temperatures above 50 degrees and dry weather for proper installation and curing.
Late spring and early fall are ideal because temperatures are moderate and rainfall is typically lighter. Summer works well too, though we often start earlier in the day to avoid extreme heat that can make working conditions difficult.
We don’t install asphalt during winter months when temperatures drop too low for proper bonding. However, we can handle site preparation and base work during cooler months if weather permits, then complete the asphalt installation when conditions improve.
Yes, we warranty our workmanship and stand behind the quality of materials we use. The specific warranty terms depend on the project scope and site conditions, which we discuss during your estimate.
Our warranty covers defects in installation and premature failure due to workmanship issues. It doesn’t cover damage from excessive loads, vehicle fluids, or lack of maintenance, but we’ll explain exactly what’s covered before starting your project.
More importantly, we’ve been serving this area since 1948 and plan to be here for decades more. When you need service or have questions about your parking lot, you’ll be able to reach us. That’s worth more than any written warranty.
