Plan Ahead for Peace of Mind
Proper planning is crucial for a successful parking lot resurfacing project, so begin by assessing the current condition of your parking lot and identifying any areas that need special attention. Consider factors like the size of the lot, the expected traffic volume, and any drainage issues. By developing a detailed plan, you can anticipate potential problems and streamline the process.
Toe the Timeline to Keep Your Project in Step
Ideally, schedule your project during a period of mild weather to avoid complications from extreme temperatures or rain. Additionally, try to pick a time when the parking lot sees minimal use. This step may involve coordinating with tenants or customers to find the least disruptive period.

Communication is Key
Clear communication with all stakeholders is essential for a smooth resurfacing process. Inform tenants, employees, and customers about the project well in advance, and provide them with alternative parking options and updates on the project’s progress. Keeping everyone in the loop helps manage expectations and reduces frustration.
Prepare the Site for Success
A clean and well-prepared site allows for a more efficient paving process. So, remove any obstacles, debris, or vehicles from the parking lot before the project begins. Ensure that any underlying issues, such as drainage problems or subgrade instability, are addressed and communicated.
Behold the Process and Monitor the Project
Stay involved throughout the resurfacing process to ensure everything goes according to plan. Regularly check in with your contractor to discuss progress, address any concerns, and make decisions as needed. Above all, being proactive and responsive can help prevent delays and ensure the project stays on track.
Maintenance is the Glue that Holds your Sanity Together
Once your parking lot is repaved, implementing a regular maintenance plan is crucial to extend its lifespan and keep it in good condition. So, schedule routine inspections, sealcoating, and repairs as needed. Proper maintenance not only protects your investment but also ensures a safe and attractive parking lot for years to come.
