When your asphalt parking lot starts to deteriorate, it might begin as a small crack or pothole. Deteriorated asphalt surfaces can pose a trip hazard and can create a condition where pedestrians are at risk of falling and injuring themselves.
When a prospective customer first pulls into your parking lot, the condition of the asphalt is the “first impression” of what your facilities can offer. If a driver has a hard time getting around in your pothole-ridden parking lot, it might be just enough reason for them to leave your facility and bring their business to a better-maintained site.
A poorly maintained asphalt parking lot or pedestrian walkway is a safety hazard and could cost you legal fees, lost business, poor reviews, or increases insurance premiums if a visitor gets injured on your site. Overland Park Asphalt has experienced project professionals who can assist you in reviewing the condition of your commercial property and customizing a detailed maintenance plan to help deal with safety issues in your asphalt parking lot or along your pedestrian walkways.
Curb appeal doesn’t only apply to residential properties. It is equally important for a business as the exterior of your facility provides customers with their first impression. It can significantly influence their perception of your business and whether or not they want to patronize your business.
The condition and appearance of driveways, parking lots, and walkways are especially important. Properly maintaining them will boost the curb appeal of your property in many ways. Aside from aesthetics and demonstrating the pride you take in your business, well-maintained exterior surfaces show that you value your customers and their safety. When it’s time to upgrade your exterior surfaces, you should consider the benefits of commercial asphalt paving services. Below are some of them.
Asphalt can be used for several applications from driveways and parking lots to curbing and roadways. It is also used in areas where it is subject to heavy loads such as a base for train tracks. A commercial parking lot can be subject to all types of vehicles from customer cars to tractor-trailer delivery trucks. An aggregate material mixed with a petroleum-based binder and applied over a properly laid base, asphalt has enough strength and flexibility to withstand the weight of heavy vehicles without sustaining any damage.
The temperature fluctuations experienced during the winter months can cause pavement damage as well. As the water below the pavement expands and contracts due to the freeze and thaw cycles, it can put significant pressure on paved surfaces. The flexibility of asphalt also allows it to survive the winter weather better than concrete.
Using commercial asphalt paving services can also improve safety. The smooth surface of asphalt allows for superior contact between vehicle tires and the paved surfaces surrounding your business. This provides better skid resistance.
Open-graded asphalt allows for improved water drainage, reducing the amount of lying water that could freeze, resulting in a slip and fall hazard. Asphalt also provides a good backdrop for parking lot and roadway markings, creating a sharper contrast and allowing them to be more visible.
Maintenance and Sustainability
The lifespan of asphalt can be extended with periodic maintenance. Over time, small cracks can appear and the rich black color of asphalt can fade to a dark grey. This shouldn’t be a problem since it can be remedied by having your asphalt surfaces seal-coated.
Sealcoating is a protective coating that keeps small cracks from becoming large ones and restores your asphalt’s original appearance. It is usually recommended to be done every few years.
If there are larger cracks or potholes in your asphalt, these can be filled before sealcoating. Older asphalt surfaces may need more extensive maintenance such as asphalt resurfacing.
During resurfacing, the top layer is removed and the underlying layers are reinforced. A new top layer is applied and the removed layer of asphalt is recycled. In fact, asphalt is one of the most recycled materials in the United States. This can be a crucial factor for environmentally conscious and socially responsible businesses.
As with any improvement, commercial asphalt services can help increase your property value. While this is more important if you are planning to sell or lease your property, the upgraded curb appeal and benefit from commercial paving services can provide a boost in business and aid in employee satisfaction.
