Keep Austin Parking Lots Looking New with Maintenance

If you don’t think parking lot maintenance in Austin is an important investment, think again! Can you imagine any paved surface that gets more wear and tear than a parking lot? The sheer weight of the vehicles alone would be enough to wear down even the finest quality asphalt. But when you combine that with exposure to weather, fluids from vehicles and water seeping in from surrounding landscaping, it’s no wonder that so many Austin parking lots look worn out and old. And, since your parking lot is the first thing that most people notice, a damaged parking lot can truly be a poor reflection on your business or rental property.

Fortunately, asphalt is an extremely strong and resilient material. Made from a combination of sand, tar, rock and bitumen, asphalt is the preferred material for everything from parking lots to major thoroughfares. The rock and sand in asphalt make it strong, and the tar and bitumen make it flexible. But even a surface as strong as asphalt will weaken over time, and that usually means cracks, pot holes and depressions in the surface.

When you start noticing damage in your parking lot, it’s important to have it repaired as quickly as possible. Chances are the damaged areas will become worse in a hurry, and what could have been a minor repair job can easily turn into a major expense. That’s why a little preventive parking lot maintenance is so important. It can help address those issues before the damage ever happens.

It’s All About Seal Coating

Seal coating acts as a barrier that protects the asphalt surface from damage caused by gas, oil and other fluids from vehicles. It also helps to prevent oxidation and weather-related damage to the surface. Bennett’s trained experts will first make any needed repairs to your parking lot before applying the seal coating.

How often you have seal coating applied depends on the level of use of your parking lot and your local weather conditions. Because we’re local contractors, the experts at Bennett Paving know all about Central Texas weather. We can suggest a regular schedule of seal coating that is most appropriate for your parking lot maintenance in Austin.

There’s Nothing Like a Fresh Coat of Paint!

Another regular part of parking lot maintenance that we recommend is parking lot striping. You would be amazed at what a difference a fresh coat of paint makes! Even an older parking lot, or one surrounded by dated buildings, can look new again with fresh striping.
