Fix Potholes as They Occur

Potholes occur due to the expansion and contraction of underground water. If you notice any potholes in your parking lot, you should have them filled as soon as possible. Potholes can result in flat tires and other types of damage to vehicles in your parking lot.

Use the Right Paving Company for Repairs

When getting any repair work done on your parking lot, choose the right paving company. Not only do you want to choose paving contractors with years of experience, but you also want to select a team that offers great customer service and value for your money.

Keep Your Parking Lot Clean

If your parking lot is grimy and covered in litter, it will surely deter your customers. This is just one reason why it is so important to have a proper cleaning schedule in place. Any oil stains left by vehicles should be cleaned immediately so that the oil does not damage the paving.

Keep the Surface Dry

Standing water can cause all sorts of damage, so keeping your parking lot as dry as possible is important. This may mean investing in proper drainage systems that won’t get clogged in extreme weather.

Restrict Heavy Vehicles

If your parking lot has been built to cater to trucks and other heavy vehicles, their weight should not be a problem. Keep in mind that heavy vehicles can damage regular parking lots over time. It’s a good idea to limit their access.
