Parking lot repair keeps an existing asphalt lot in working shape. We handle parking lot maintenance for businesses, churches, schools, apartments, HOAs and towns, from Clarke County to the Gulf Coast. We come out, look over the whole lot and point out what needs doing now and what can wait. You get a written quote that lists each item.
Most of the work is asphalt maintenance that keeps small problems from growing. Potholes and failed areas get cut out, the base gets rebuilt where it failed, and hot mix goes back in. That is the same asphalt repair and patching we do on driveways and private roads. We bring our own paver, rollers, sealcoating equipment and striping machine to the lot.

Water gets into a lot through open cracks and softens the base. The federal manual for pothole repair names moisture, traffic and poor support underneath among the usual causes of potholes. Crack filling and sealing closes those cracks before more rain gets in. Parking lot pothole repair starts by cutting the hole back until its sides stand straight in sound pavement.
Standing water is the other thing to fix. The Asphalt Institute recommends at least a 1.5 percent slope on parking lots so rain drains off. Low spots that leave birdbaths after a storm get built back up so they drain. Where the trouble is the ground itself, grading and drainage work comes first.
Sealcoating goes down once the cracks and patches are done, and parking lot striping comes back after it cures. When a business or a town restripes, the Justice Department says the accessible spaces must meet the 2010 ADA Standards. One in six of those spaces, and always at least one, must be van accessible. Our Alabama striping and ADA guide has the full counts.
Patching pays when the damage sits in a few spots and the rest of the lot is sound. It stops paying when failed areas spread across the lot or the same patches keep breaking up. Then the money goes further on new pavement than on more patches.
If the base is still sound, an asphalt overlay puts new hot mix over the old pavement. Failed spots get cut out and rebuilt first, and low spots get leveled. The Asphalt Institute calls crack sealing before that kind of rehabilitation a good idea.
The Asphalt Institute also says new pavement must be placed on a firm, unyielding base. Where the base has failed across the lot, we tear out the old pavement and build a new parking lot. Our guide to what a new parking lot costs in Alabama explains what moves that price.
South Alabama lots take a lot of rain. NOAA's climate normals put Mobile at about 66 inches a year and Jackson, in Clarke County, at about 60. Every open crack and low spot lets some of that water down toward the base. Heat is steady too: Mobile averages about 65 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter.
Lots near the beach collect sand as well. The federal crack manual lists sand among the materials that keep a crack from closing. We blow those cracks out and clean them before the filler goes in.
We plan the work in phases with you, around business hours and church services. Lots in Grove Hill and across Clarke County sit close to our home yard on US-43. Mobile and Baldwin County lots are a short drive from our second yard in Robertsdale.

Great service and great results.
Very good service. Had the church parking lot cracks sealed, recoated and new stripping added. Every one was very professional and job was completed in a timely fashion. We would recommend 3M paving.
