Concrete One Ltd., an industry leader in Toronto, is announcing summer paving tips for businesses looking to improve commercial parking lots.

Concrete One Ltd. (www.ConcreteOneLtd.com), an industry leader in paving and concrete construction and installation across the GTA, is announcing its expert seasonal tips on paving and repaving commercial parking lots this summer.

"Between winter frost and spring rains, parking lots can take a lot of punishment," says Frank Giglio, owner of Concrete One Ltd. "Pavement can crack, potholes can form, and even the paint and yellow lines can begin to fade. Summer offers more stable weather, so it's a great time to get work done on a parking lot, whether it’s repaving or installing a brand new one.

Giglio explains that the parking lot is the first part of a business that the customer experiences. Making sure it's in good condition is therefore extra important; it won't matter how nice a storefront is if the customer has to navigate a pitted, faded parking lot to enter.

Since asphalt takes at least three to five days to properly settle and cool over a large area like a parking lot, a decline in activity, such as being away on vacation, can be to the property owner's advantage, he adds. "It's important to start a paving project during a low-activity period. Otherwise, there’s a possibility of blemishes from where the surface is marred by wheels and feet."

It is also advisable to inform other nearby businesses so they know in advance that they will be receiving extra parking use while the lot cools. In addition, alternate arrangements may need to be made so delivery drivers and employees can arrive properly. Working out how to handle customer or employee parking in advance is seen as both polite and important; one way is a quid-pro-quo agreement where each business lets the other’s customers use their parking spaces during paving.

And once a parking lot has been constructed or repaved, vigilance will be needed to ensure it stays in top condition," Giglio notes. A proper sealer will protect the lot from weather and sun damage, but personal action will still be needed to keep it in top form."

Finally, property owners will need to be vigilant for oil stains, cracks, and any weeds that begin growing through the asphalt. If dealt with quickly, they are minor issues that are cleared up with little effort," Giglio concludes. "If left alone, however, they'll compromise the integrity of the asphalt and cause more widespread damage. Ultimately, being proactive is key and a good paving and concrete company can help identify additional problem areas before bigger concerns crop up."
