If your parking lot is in bad shape with some holes, cracks, traffic paint worn off, grey and dryed outbut is 65 percent still in tact. There may be a chance it could be fixed before you have to spend serious moneyon pavingan entire parkinglot. Asphaltprices will only risewhile oil keeps going up.If you have a parking lot that is 200 feetin length by 100 feet in width you have 20,000 total square feet. Even just a reserfacing in ocean county n.j is going to cost you at least a 1.50 per square foot. Thatspaving2.5 inchs of I-5 top course over the asphalt that is already existing. This would cost you about 30.000 dollars.Thats just reserfacing the asphalt, it would only get more exspencive if you needed to remove blacktop or grade.But if you parkinglot is 65 percent or more in tactthere area couple of things that can be done to solve the problem.
All the areas where there are holes andbadly broken asphalt needs to be cut outin squares so you are removing all of the bad area into the asphalt that is soild. This can be done with a wet saw. Once the broken asphalt and potholes are cut into squares the blacktop can be removed. The next thing you want to do is compact the base that is exposed with a wacker tamper. Now that the cut outs are ready, the blacktop can be packed into the cut outs and loop raked till it is smooth. About a half inch above the original blacktop is where you want to be.This half inch will be perfect when being rolled due to the half inch pack form the roller. This will leave it perfectly flush with the old asphalt. This square seam can be worked in smooth with a tourch and some pinch rolling. Once the patch work is done you can move on to cleaning the entie parking lot with blowers. Any large single cracks can be filled with a hot crack filler.Than have the entire parking lot sealed with a coal tar application. This sealcoating will make the parkinglot dark black again and ready it for traffic line stripeing. Once the line stipeing is done you will have spent about 8000 dollars for the totaljob.Compared to 30,000 this is quite a savings. http://keatorbuiltpavingandsealcoating.com
