Commercial asphalt services provide cost-effective pavement solutions for business parks, industrial facilities, and retail developments across North Texas. As your general contractor, we deliver complete asphalt programs—from new installation and overlays through repairs and maintenance—managing pavement assets that support operations while controlling lifecycle costs.
Asphalt pavement offers specific advantages for commercial properties. Lower initial cost compared to concrete enables larger paved areas within budgets. Faster installation compresses construction schedules. Easier repairs simplify maintenance. For appropriate applications—standard parking, secondary drive aisles, less-critical areas—asphalt provides excellent value when properly designed and maintained.
North Texas conditions affect asphalt performance significantly. Summer heat reaching 110+ degrees at pavement surface stresses binder and accelerates aging. Expansive clay soils create pavement movement requiring proper base design. Drainage is critical—standing water dramatically shortens asphalt life. Our crews engineer asphalt installations addressing these regional factors.
For property owners and facility managers, asphalt represents significant capital investment requiring strategic maintenance. Seal coating every 3-5 years extends life dramatically. Crack filling prevents water infiltration. Timely overlays defer more expensive replacements. We provide complete asphalt programs from installation through lifecycle maintenance optimizing long-term value.

Commercial Asphalt Services FAQs
How long does commercial asphalt pavement last?
Properly installed and maintained commercial asphalt typically lasts 15-20 years before requiring major rehabilitation or replacement. Seal coating every 3-5 years and crack filling as needed significantly extend life. Heavy truck traffic shortens lifespan. Climate and maintenance quality are major factors affecting longevity.
Should I choose asphalt or concrete for commercial parking?
Each material has advantages. Asphalt costs less initially (typically 40-50% less than concrete) but requires regular maintenance. Concrete lasts 25-30+ years with minimal maintenance but costs more upfront. Many properties use both—concrete for heavy traffic areas and truck routes, asphalt for standard parking. We provide lifecycle cost analysis for your specific situation.
What asphalt maintenance do commercial properties need?
Recommended maintenance includes seal coating every 3-5 years protecting surface from UV and water damage, crack filling as needed preventing water infiltration, line striping refresh maintaining traffic control, and pothole repair addressing failures promptly. Regular maintenance significantly extends pavement life and improves property appearance.
How thick should commercial asphalt pavement be?
Thickness depends on traffic loads and soil conditions. Standard car parking typically requires 3-4 inches of asphalt over 6-8 inches of crushed stone base. Heavy truck traffic needs 5-6 inches of asphalt. Loading areas with constant truck traffic may need 6-7 inches. Proper geotechnical investigation determines appropriate design for your site.
