While it’s best to request several free quotes for the cost of parking lot maintenance, it’s best to understand how to budget for parking lot maintenance to make the most of it.

Understand Your Pavement’s Condition

First, understand the current condition of your parking lot. How old is it? Does it havestanding puddles after it rains? Are there cracks, ruts, or loose gravel? Are there potholes or faded markings? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you can better understand how urgent parking lot maintenance is for your case.

Parking lot maintenance services encompass several asphalt treatments. All asphalt pavements deteriorate over time and simply need routine upkeep so that they do not disintegrate before their time. These treatments include the following:

• Crack filling (every 2-3 years)
• Sealcoating (every 2-3 years)
• Patching (when necessary)
• Resurfacing (every 8-10 years)
• Pavement restriping (every 1-2 years)
