Two Reasons For Asphalt Parking Lots

Understandably, property managers and building owners have a plate full of responsibilities. One of which that is extremely important is the responsibility of providing functional and safe parking lots for guests and visitors. An easy solution which provides functionality, traffic safety, and curb appeal is to construct an asphalt parking lot. Your customers will thank you! Still not convinced? Two reasons for asphalt parking lots are:

1. Better for Customers

People don't tend to talk about parking lots unless they are noticeably bad. Asphalt paving parking lots, that are maintained properly, are the perfect solution for giving customers a positive experience. Several Benefits include:

Asphalt is Smoother

A nice rolled asphalt parking lot provide a very smooth and quite ride for you customer's vehicles. Constructed properly, there are no potholes or cracks to jar your clients while cruising into your facility.

Asphalt is Safer

Asphalt paving offers:

  • Better skid resistance
  • Reduced splash back in wet conditions
  • Better visual distinction for lot markings

Sealcoating is especially useful on asphalt parking lot and provide additional safety benefits. Not only does seal coating add additional life to the pavement, it make it look nicer as well. In colder areas, seal coating has even been proven to melt ice and snow faster. 

Sealcoating asphalt parking lots also prevents UV rays from penetrating into the asphalt foundation, which wears the asphalt away. Potholes and cracks are prevented when the asphalt sealcoat is applied. This is because the sealcoat protects against excess water and oil that can seep into the pavement weakening the supportive and structural layers.

2. Better for Businesses

Asphalt is beneficial for business owners, too. Hiring the right asphalt paving company will help maximize the return on investment (ROI). Asphalt is a more cost efficient solution for paving and it can be construction quickly. 

Installing Asphalt Will Save You Time

Because asphalt is installed relatively quickly, compared to other options, it allows for a quicker turnaround for parking lot intrusion. Also, asphalt requires only minimal maintenance, which helps you keep your parking lot open to customers even when maintenance is required.

Asphalt Will Save You Money

There are a number of ways asphalt can save you money, including but not limited to:

  • Asphalt is safer than many other options, which may result in fewer liability claims.
  • Asphalt looks more professional, helping you increase curb appeal and foot traffic.
  • Asphalt is sturdy and long-lasting. It even holds up well in freezing and thawing cycles.
  • Asphalt has minimal maintenance costs, often just needing regular sealcoating to prevent potholes and cracks from forming.
    • A good contractor can help you with sealcoating in a cost-effective way.

In addition to the above, asphalt is also eco-friendly (which everyone loves) and helps with stormwater runoff –a few more things you won’t have to worry about.
