We specialize in constructing the best asphalt parking lots in St.
Louis. Asphalt is an inexpensive method for enhancing the function and
appearance of your building. Be assured that we pay attention to all
details. Proper drainage, smooth finish, adequate thickness, bright
stripes, and flush transitions are details in your asphalt parking lot
that will not be overlooked. We will deliver the most cost effective
surface possible.
Are
you building a new strip mall, office complex, or church? Whatever
your project consists of, we will pave durable, long lasting parking
lots for your commercial needs. We will work with you or your
engineers on making sure functionality of all aspects of your parking
lot perform properly. We will closely examine base requirements, types
of asphalt, thicknesses of asphalt, how many layers of asphalt, and the
(parking diagrams to ensure expectations are met. We offer plenty of
options when constructing commercial parking lots. If starting from
dirt, we recommend using our Perma-Base system in order to ensure the
best performance from your pavement. Perma-Base allows heavy traffic
on the rock parking lot without damaging it. It also prevents yielding
due to its many stabilizing qualities. Cracks and expansion joints are
eliminated or reduced. Perma-Base will also prevent underground water
from percolating through to the surface. A minimum of 8 inches of
compacted rock is used by our methods. More can be added if desired.
The base rock is thoroughly compacted before paving. The last step
before paving your parking lot is drawing out the patterns in which we
will be paving and checking the base rock to make sure enough slope is
present for water to drain off the surface. We will also proof roll
with a 10 ton roller to make sure paving conditions are adequate. Next
we install our commercial grade hot asphalt with a self propelled
paver. The new asphalt is compacted and allowed time to set up before
opening to vehicles. There are many more details involved in paving
asphalt parking lots, so feel free to ask us about questions you may
have.
Here are some advantages to constructing a new asphalt parking lot.
- When constructed with Perma-Base you are virtually eliminating
cracks and base failures. Your load rating is also increased
substantially.
- Our minimum thickness is 2.5" compacted, although 3" is mostly
recommended; which will give you a superior surface. More thickness or
additional layers can be added if desired.
- Materials are typically more affordable than other types of surfaces.
- Asphalt surfaces can be repaired easily if damaged. We can achieve seamless repairs through our infrared process.
- We can handle all aspects of paving your parking lot. We will
include finishing touches such as stripes , a.d.a. compliant surfaces,
signage, and parking blocks.
Our estimator will help guide you through the process to make a decision that gives you the best results for your investment.
Resurfacing a parking lot can be done quickly and inexpensively. First
we will consult with you on the types of traffic you are facing and how
much stress they put on your parking lot. From there we will determine
the proper thickness of asphalt we need to install in order to
guarantee you a long lasting surface. The work begins by thoroughly
cleaning the surface with mechanized sweepers driven by tractors or
bobcats. Next we will clean the surface and install optional crack
barrier Petro-Tac if you have elected to do so. This will prevent
major cracks from reflecting through the new surface. This can save
you a lot of money on future maintenance. Any low or deteriorated
areas will be shored up with hot asphalt prior to installing the new
pavement. Next we will mark out the patterns we are to pave in so that
we are sure to pave in a consistent manner. Before we can pave we will
use a pressurized distributor to spray the existing surface with a
heated asphalt emulsion. This acts as a primer that will bond the two
surfaces together. *(NOTE, We never "glue" our new surface to
adjoining surfaces such as a street or intersection. Instead we will
saw-cut or use a planer to be sure the new layer of asphalt is thick
and sits flush with adjoining pavements. If this is not done properly
the new surface can be damaged by snow plows or will eventually erode
away since the layer of asphalt is too thin to retain strength.) Next
we install our commercial grade hot asphalt with a self propelled paver
equipped with vibratory screed. The new asphalt is compacted by 3
sizes of vibratory rollers. Time is allowed for the surface to set up
before opening to vehicles. There are many more details involved in
paving your parking lot so feel free to ask us about questions you may
have.
Here are some advantages to resurfacing / overlaying your old asphalt driveway with a new layer of asphalt.
- Resurfacing can be done quickly with little preparation depending
on the current condition. Typically we can install 1,000 tons of
asphalt per day.
- Major cracks can be reduced or eliminated in a controlled fashion
because we know where the expansion is taking place that causes
cracks. We do this by installing a membrane that allows expansion to
take place below the surface without transmitting a new crack through
the surface. If the crack barrier is not used the old cracks will
likely come through the new surface. - This phenomenon is called
reflective cracking.
- We can handle all aspects of paving your parking lot. We will
include finishing touches such as stripes , a.d.a. compliant surfaces,
signage, and parking blocks.
- Materials are typically more affordable than other types of surfaces.
- Asphalt surfaces can be repaired easily if damaged. We can achieve seamless repairs through our infrared process.
Our estimator
will help guide you through the process to make a decision that gives
you the best results for your investment. In many cases resurfacing
cannot be done because of drainage constraints. If there is not enough
slope available to install an additional surface, the driveway will
have to be removed and replaced .
Need a new asphalt road or
parking lot, but don't have any more tolerance left to add another
layer of asphalt? Is your surface height restricted by sidewalks,
curbs, gutters, adjacent pavements, or other transition points? We
have the solution. We can remove enough of your existing asphalt to
install a brand new layer. This is achieved by a Roto-mill or planer.
This high-speed device is capable of cutting 4" deep 4' wide in a
single pass. We can grind enough asphalt to fill the average dump
truck within 8-10 minutes. This process allows you to work within a
budget. Instead of removing all layers of a parking lot, now you can
save time and money associated with labor by utilizing the milling
process. The process also allows us to grind and replace sections of a
road or parking lot in order to reduce the interruption on traffic. We
can mill and pave sections of pavement in the same day. A milled
surface has a textured affect the helps bond new asphalt to the old
pavement.
Here are some advantages to milling existing pavements prior to resurfacing.
- The milling process is quick and leaves a level textured surface
for the new pavement to bond to. Bumps and high spots are removed with
this method.
- All of the asphalt that is ground up goes back to the asphalt plant
to be recycled in new asphalt material. You are actually contributing
to the green effort by utilizing this method.
- Disruption to business or traffic is reduced significantly because of how fast the process works in conjunction with paving.
- You won't have to worry about bumps, trip hazards, drainage problems, or possibly installing asphalt too thin.
Our estimator will help guide you through the milling process to make sure it provides you with the results you desire.
Are you tired of trying to remove
snow and ice from your walkways? Are people slipping and getting hurt
in front of your business? Heaters can be added to a walk area, or
handicap area easily in the overlay / resurfacing, or milling process.
Creve Coeur Paving is St. Louis' only paving contractor that offers
such conveniences. Ice and snow will be melted away within 8 minutes
