New Asphalt Construction

Yes, Asphalt Coatings Company handles earthwork, base preparation, paving and striping with one company and one point of contact. Our in-house crews manage every phase, with no subcontractors.

Yes, our concrete services cover curb and gutter, concrete sidewalks and ADA ramps, and concrete dumpster pads alongside the asphalt work. Using one contractor keeps the elevations and transitions between asphalt and concrete consistent.

We develop the paving and concrete layout with you and work alongside general contractors, civil engineers and utility companies. New construction lets us tailor the whole layout to the site.

Accessible stalls, access aisles and signage are laid out at striping, the final activity, as part of the layout we develop with you. Our parking lot striping page covers stall and marking layout.

Soil conditions and expected traffic determine the pavement section, which sets the aggregate base thickness, the Superpave mix and the lift thickness, together with drainage.

We evaluate the subgrade with a soil evaluation, a geotechnical report review, proof rolling and a drainage assessment before setting the pavement section.

We place the aggregate base in lifts of 4 inches or less and compact and test each lift. Base compaction uses a 95% Modified Proctor target, verified with nuclear density gauge testing, and base thickness follows the site’s soil and traffic loading.

Parking lot drainage is set before paving by establishing slope, elevations and transitions while the grade is still workable.

We place Superpave hot mix asphalt with commercial pavers and compact each lift with steel-drum vibratory and pneumatic tire rollers.

Nuclear density gauge testing verifies compaction on the subgrade, the aggregate base and each asphalt lift.

The final walkthrough is a punch-list review with you and the general contractor after surface grading and the striping layout are complete. Every project gets a quality check before it is handed over.

New parking lot construction generally takes a few weeks to several months, depending on the size, scope, weather and permitting process.

Weather and permitting are the main factors that can move a construction date. Paving needs warm, dry weather, so rain, cold or high humidity can push a date, and we coordinate the timeline with the general contractor.

Yes, our site preparation includes securing the permits the project needs, along with grading and excavation.

Yes, the work can run at night, on weekends or in phases around occupied buildings. Our in-house crews help meet the project schedule and adapt to field changes.

Two same-size parking lots can cost different amounts because subgrade condition and earthwork quantities differ from site to site. The free written quote sets out the scope and itemized pricing after the site assessment.

Compare how each parking lot construction contractor reads take-offs, manages new construction sites and handles field changes. Asphalt Coatings Company has served commercial clients since 1986, with in-house crews and company-owned equipment.

A new asphalt parking lot stays in good condition with regular upkeep after construction. Our parking lot maintenance and sealcoating pages cover that care.
