Your parking lot should be a safe, welcoming environment that conveys your attention to detail, concern for your visitors, and professionalism. However, you also want to use your funds wisely so that you get the greatest return on the money you invested in the construction of your parking lot. If you have a reputable contractor design and execute an effective program to handle your parking lot maintenance, you can meet all of these goals simultaneously.
What Is Considered Effective Parking Lot Maintenance?
An effective maintenance plan will incorporate various processes to help you accomplish four things. The plan should protect your pavement, enhance the aesthetic appeal of your parking lot, make your parking lot safer for everyone who uses it, and help shield you from potential liabilities. Although every parking lot is unique, maintenance plans typically include crack repair, sealcoating, striping, signage, pavement markings, cleaning, and concrete repairs.
What Are the Benefits of Each Parking Lot Maintenance Procedure?
Parking lot maintenance procedures are surprisingly affordable, and most of them provide multiple benefits.
- Crack repairs help prevent potholes and other types of damage that can allow water to destabilize your foundation and accelerate the deterioration of the pavement. Open cracks can also pose tripping hazards, so timely repairs can help make your parking lot safer and protect you against possible liabilities.
- Asphalt sealcoating makes your parking lot safer by enhancing traction, protects the pavement against damage, and improves the appearance of your parking lot.
- Parking lot striping shows drivers where and how to park, which helps prevent door dings. Effective striping designs also help you offer more parking spaces.
- Parking lot signage provides drivers and pedestrians with critical information that will help eliminate confusion, making your area safer for all.
- Pavement markings help maintain order in your parking lot by directing drivers safely through your lot.
- Cleaning up oil leaks, grass clippings, and trash can protect your pavement from damage, improve the appearance of your parking lot, and help prevent injuries to pedestrians who might slip or trip on the debris.
- Concrete repairs help you ensure that your car stops, ramps, curbs, and sidewalks are safe, attractive, and ADA-compliant. Uplifts, cracks, and spalled areas can put you in violation of the ADA, and they can make your pavement unsafe and unsightly.
