Your customers notice when your parking lot looks professional. Clean lines, smooth surfaces, and proper drainage create the right first impression while handling daily traffic without cracking or pooling water.
You get a surface built to last. No more patching potholes every few months or dealing with customer complaints about rough pavement. Just reliable asphalt that handles Pennsylvania weather and heavy use without constant maintenance headaches.
The right contractor makes all the difference. You’ll know exactly what to expect, when work starts, and what it costs upfront. No surprises, no delays, no excuses.
We’ve been paving Upper Southampton properties since 1948. Three generations of family expertise means you’re working with contractors who’ve seen every challenge Pennsylvania weather can throw at asphalt.
We take on one project at a time. While other paving contractors juggle multiple jobs, we focus entirely on your property until it’s done right. That’s how we’ve built our reputation on five-star reviews and repeat customers.
Upper Southampton property owners know they can count on us for straight answers, fair pricing, and work that lasts. We’ve paved everything from small residential driveways to large commercial parking lots throughout Bucks County.
We start with a site visit to assess your property’s specific needs. Drainage, traffic patterns, and soil conditions all affect how we approach your paving project. You’ll get a detailed estimate with no hidden costs.
Next comes preparation. We handle grading, base installation, and any necessary water management systems. Proper preparation is what separates parking lots that last from those that crack within a year.
Then we pave. Our crew installs hot asphalt to exact specifications, ensuring proper thickness and compaction. We finish with clean edges and clear striping if needed. You’ll have full access to your parking lot within 24-48 hours.

Every parking lot paving project includes site preparation, base installation, hot asphalt application, and final grading. We handle water management systems, ADA compliance requirements, and proper drainage to prevent future problems.
Upper Southampton’s clay soil and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles require specific paving techniques. We adjust our base preparation and asphalt thickness based on your property’s soil conditions and expected traffic load.
You also get our senior, military, and first-time customer discounts. We believe quality paving should be accessible to everyone in our community. Our transparent pricing means you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
Most parking lot paving projects in Upper Southampton take 2-4 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves site preparation and base work. Day two is asphalt installation.
Weather affects timing. We won’t pave in rain or when temperatures drop below 50 degrees, as this compromises asphalt quality. Pennsylvania’s unpredictable spring and fall weather sometimes requires schedule adjustments.
You can usually drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, but we recommend waiting 72 hours for heavy vehicles. Full curing takes about 30 days, during which the surface continues to harden and reach maximum durability.
Parking lot paving in Upper Southampton typically ranges from $3-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions and asphalt thickness required. Larger projects generally cost less per square foot due to economies of scale.
Factors affecting cost include excavation needs, base material requirements, and drainage work. Properties with poor soil conditions or significant grading needs require additional preparation, which increases the total investment.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs. No surprise charges for “unexpected” conditions that any experienced contractor should anticipate during the initial site assessment.
Commercial parking lots in Pennsylvania need 3-4 inches of asphalt over a properly prepared base. Light traffic areas can use 2-3 inches, while heavy truck traffic requires 4+ inches for long-term durability.
The base is equally important. We typically install 6-8 inches of compacted stone base under the asphalt. Upper Southampton’s clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles demand proper base preparation to prevent cracking and settling.
Skimping on thickness is expensive long-term. Thin asphalt cracks within 2-3 years, requiring complete replacement. Proper thickness costs more upfront but lasts 15-20 years with minimal maintenance.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for parking lot paving in Pennsylvania. We prefer temperatures consistently above 50 degrees with dry weather for optimal asphalt installation and curing.
Summer paving works well, but extremely hot days can make asphalt too soft during installation. Early fall is often ideal – warm days, cool nights, and less chance of sudden weather changes that could delay your project.
Winter paving is possible but limited. Cold temperatures make asphalt difficult to work with and slow curing. We typically handle emergency repairs in winter but schedule major paving projects for warmer months.
Most parking lot repaving projects in Upper Southampton don’t require permits if you’re replacing existing asphalt within the same footprint. However, expanding parking areas or changing drainage patterns typically need township approval.
New commercial parking lots always require permits and must meet current ADA accessibility standards, stormwater management requirements, and setback regulations. The township reviews these plans before issuing permits.
We handle permit applications when required and ensure all work meets local codes. Our decades of experience in Upper Southampton means we know exactly what the township expects for different types of paving projects.
New parking lots need minimal maintenance for the first year. Avoid heavy vehicles and sharp turns during the first 30 days while asphalt fully cures. Clean up oil spills quickly to prevent staining and surface damage.
Sealcoating should wait 6-12 months after installation. New asphalt needs time to cure completely before applying sealers. After that, sealcoat every 2-3 years to protect against weather and extend surface life.
Regular sweeping and crack sealing as needed keeps your parking lot looking professional. Small cracks sealed early prevent water infiltration and expensive repairs. We provide maintenance recommendations specific to your property’s conditions.
