A proactive parking lot maintenance plan saves DFW property owners thousands of dollars over the life of their asphalt. Instead of reacting to problems after they become expensive, a simple maintenance schedule keeps your lot looking great and performing well year after year.
When you take over a property or after a lot is freshly paved, document its condition. Note existing cracks, drainage issues, and faded markings. If the lot hasn't been sealed in over 3 years, start with crack filling and sealcoating to establish a protective baseline. Strip fresh lines immediately after sealing.
Walk your lot every spring after winter weather and every fall before cold weather hits. Look for new cracking, areas where water doesn't drain properly, fading lines, curb paint damage, and worn handicap or fire lane markings. Address small cracks before they become large ones — the cost difference is dramatic.
Plan to sealcoat your commercial lot every 2-3 years for high-traffic properties (restaurants, retail, grocery) or every 3-4 years for lower-traffic properties (offices, churches). Each sealcoating job should include crack filling and should be followed immediately by restriping.
Rough estimate for an annual maintenance budget: expect $0.10-$0.20 per square foot per year when averaged across sealcoating cycles, restriping, and crack repair. For a 20,000 sq ft lot, that's $2,000-$4,000/year on average — a fraction of what full asphalt replacement costs ($3-$7 per sq ft).
Yes! We offer maintenance agreements for property managers and businesses that want scheduled inspections, crack filling, and restriping on a planned calendar. Contact us to discuss a custom agreement.
If you have an area with extensive alligator cracking, severe potholes, or base failure, that section likely needs patching or milling before sealcoating. We'll assess and recommend the appropriate repair approach.
