Asphalt Paving for Commercial Parking Lots in Southbury CT
Our paving company designs and installs parking lots for businesses, shopping centers, schools, and other commercial properties. The process includes:
- Site Preparation: Clearing and grading the area for proper drainage and leveling.
- Base Installation: Laying a foundation of crushed stone or gravel for stability.
- Asphalt Application: Hot-mix asphalt is layered, starting with a base layer and followed by a smooth surface layer.
- Compaction & Smoothing: Using rollers to ensure a durable, even surface.
- Line Striping & Signage: Painting parking spaces, directional arrows, and installing necessary signs.
- Parking Lot Sealcoating: Once the new pavement has been laid, sealcoating should only be applied after a 60-90 day cure. This is because fresh asphalt is soft and pliable because of special oils and chemicals that need to evaporate. Also, If the compacted and rolled asphalt is not fully cured, the commercial grade latex or asphalt-based sealer won’t adhere properly and may bubble or peel off the new asphalt pavement, effectively ruining the freshly paved parking area!
Asphalt Paving for Driveways & Roadways
- Commercial Driveways & Entrances: Smooth asphalt transitions from roads to parking areas.
- Private Roadways: Durable asphalt solutions for business complexes and industrial properties.
- Access Roads: Connecting commercial properties to main roads for better accessibility.
We Provide All Types Pavement Maintenance & Repair
Commercial Pavement Resurfacing & Asphalt Overlays
If the parking lot or road base of the asphalt area is in good structural condition, resurfacing can restore its durability:
- Surface Cleaning: Removing dirt, debris, and damaged asphalt.
- New Asphalt Layering: A fresh layer of hot-mix asphalt is applied to extend pavement life.
Commercial Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching
Damage from varying weather conditions and heavy traffic can lead to potholes and cracks. Our repair services include:
- Asphalt Crack Filling: Removing damaged sections and filling all types of cracking and defects with new asphalt.

More on parking lot and driveway repairs before you resurface
Not every lot needs a full resurfacing. Most of what we get called for in Southbury is a pothole, a low spot holding water, a crumbling edge, or a patch somebody else laid that let go after two winters.
We put together a full breakdown of the 14 driveway and parking lot repairs we see most, what causes each one, and what each costs in this part of Connecticut, including the ADA safe harbor rule that catches most property owners off guard when they reseal a lot.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long after new asphalt is laid can a parking lot be sealcoated?
New asphalt needs 60 to 90 days to cure before a parking lot can be sealcoated. Fresh asphalt contains oils that have to evaporate first.
Seal it too early and those oils get trapped. The sealer bubbles or peels off the new pavement. VP Asphalt Paving will not seal a new lot inside that window no matter how ready it looks.
How long after sealcoating can a parking lot be striped?
A sealcoated parking lot can be striped 24 to 72 hours later, depending on the weather rather than the calendar.
Sealer is an asphalt emulsion. It cures by evaporation, so humidity matters more than temperature. A hot humid day cures slower than a cool dry one. VP Asphalt Paving held the Southbury Park & Ride the full 72 hours before striping it because the humidity was doing the deciding.
How many accessible parking spaces does a commercial lot need?
The number of accessible parking spaces a commercial lot needs scales with the total number of spaces in it.
A lot of 25 spaces or fewer needs one. An 80 stall lot needs four. Lots of 501 to 1,000 spaces need 2 percent of the total.
Access aisles must be at least 5 feet wide. The surface has to be stable and level. These counts are set by the ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
How is resurfacing different from full replacement?
Resurfacing mills the worn top layer off and lays new asphalt over the existing base. Full replacement removes everything including the base and rebuilds from the ground up.
Resurfacing costs considerably less, and it removes the old cracks instead of paving over them. It only works when the base underneath is still sound. Over a failed base, a new surface is money spent twice.
When does re-striping a parking lot trigger ADA requirements?
Re-striping a parking lot triggers ADA requirements the moment it happens, because re-striping counts as an alteration.
An existing lot holds safe harbor only until it is altered, and resurfacing counts too. Alter a lot after March 15, 2012 and its accessible parking has to meet current ADA standards, not whatever was legal when the lot was built.
The seal job ordered to make a lot look better is the same job that ends safe harbor.
In what order should parking lot repairs be done?
Structural work first, then sealcoating, then striping. Patching and grading correct the drainage, and there is no point coating a surface that still holds water.
The order matters because each phase has a wait time attached. New asphalt needs 60 to 90 days before it can be sealcoated. Fresh sealcoat needs 24 to 72 hours before it can be striped. A lot patched in October cannot legitimately be sealcoated the same season.
That is why VP Asphalt Paving schedules structural repairs early in the year and seals the following season, rather than stacking all three phases into one fall.
