What Is Commercial Paving?
Commercial paving involves the installation, repair, and maintenance of paved surfaces for businesses, including parking lots, driveways, roads, and walkways. The process uses commercial-grade asphalt or concrete to ensure long-lasting durability and functionality. Asphalt paving contractors like us employ advanced equipment and techniques to provide high-quality paving solutions designed for heavy traffic and demanding commercial environments.
Commercial asphalt paving offers several advantages for businesses. It delivers a strong, budget-smart surface for high-traffic sites, loading areas, and parking lots. With proper design and maintenance, it installs quickly, performs reliably, and looks professional for years.
Compared to alternatives like concrete, asphalt often requires a lower upfront investment and fewer labor hours. Add in efficient repairs (cut-and-replace, infrared patches) and life-extension treatments, and the total cost of ownership stays predictably low.
Engineered mixes and correct base prep give asphalt the strength to handle daily traffic, service vehicles, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. With routine crack sealing and periodic sealcoating, your pavement maintains structure and appearance well beyond its initial service life.
Asphalt can be laid and compacted quickly, allowing phased work that keeps your site open and minimizes downtime. Many projects can reopen to traffic sooner, accelerating your return to normal operations and revenue.
A properly graded, compacted mat delivers a uniform ride and reduces wear on vehicles and equipment. High-friction finishes, crisp line striping, and good drainage design help reduce slips, skids, and standing water that can lead to accidents.
Routine maintenance is straightforward: seal cracks, spot-patch distressed areas, and apply periodic sealcoat to resist UV and moisture. These quick, budgetable tasks preserve curb appeal and extend the interval between major capital projects.
At Green Side Up Contracting, we provide a full range of commercial paving services:
We manage the full build—from excavation and sub-base preparation to grading for proper drainage, compaction, and placement of the asphalt lift(s). Our crews calibrate rollers for uniform density, tie into existing surfaces cleanly, and can add line striping, curbing, and traffic control so your pavement is ready for use on schedule.
We pave commercial driveways to handle real-world loads—service vehicles, deliveries, and daily traffic. That means the right base depth, proper cross-slope to prevent ponding, reinforced aprons at road tie-ins, and smooth transitions to loading areas and walkways, all completed with minimal disruption to operations.
From cracks and potholes to edge failures and depressions, we diagnose the cause and apply the right fix: hot crack sealing, infrared or cut-and-replace patching, small-area milling, and base stabilization where needed. Fast, durable repairs restore safety, reduce liability, and extend the life of your pavement.
A professional sealcoat shields asphalt from UV, moisture, salts, and chemicals while refreshing the deep black finish. We clean and prep the surface, treat oil spots, fill cracks, and apply an even coat with sand for skid resistance—helping slow oxidation and wear to maximize service life between major projects.
We design and build lots for durability and flow: correct base sections, truck routes, and turning radii; accessible stalls and signage; crisp line striping and traffic markings; and smart drainage that keeps surfaces safe and dry. The result is a hard-working lot that looks professional and performs under peak loads.
When the base is sound, a mill-and-overlay restores ride quality and appearance without a full rebuild. We profile high spots, place a leveling course, and install a new wearing lift—optionally adding paving fabric at trouble areas—to address raveling and shallow cracking at a fraction of replacement cost.
Projects Completed Efficiently
Commercial paving is designed to handle higher traffic volumes and is built for durability and long-term use. It typically requires more robust construction methods than residential paving.
With proper maintenance, asphalt paving can last up to 20 years or more. Routine maintenance such as sealcoating and timely repairs can significantly extend its lifespan.
Asphalt paving typically requires 24 to 48 hours to cure and harden before it can be driven on, depending on weather conditions and the thickness of the paving.
Regular maintenance includes sealcoating every 3-5 years, crack sealing, and prompt repair of any potholes or surface damage. Routine cleaning and inspections can help keep your asphalt in good condition.
A professional contractor brings the expertise, equipment, and experience needed to ensure your paving project is completed on time, on budget, and to the highest standards. Hiring a licensed contractor helps avoid costly mistakes and subpar results.
