Creating A More Beautiful YardCreating A More Beautiful Yard

Your parking lot is the first point of contact for customers visiting your business. Keeping your parking lot neatly maintained can create a strong first impression with new customers and show everyone visiting your building that you pay attention to details. Here are some things you can do to keep your parking lot in great shape.

Manhole Cover And Sewer Drain Inspection

Manhole covers and sewer drains can become damaged over time, and this can cause a hazard for vehicles driving over them in your parking lot. Sewer drains may also become clogged, which can lead to flooding in your parking lot. If you have manhole covers or sewer drains in your parking lot, you should consider having them inspected. Your asphalt paving company may offer this service, or you can also have the local utility companies that own the covers come out to inspect their covers and drains.

Parking Lot Re-Striping

Having ample parking for your customers is important, and clearly painted parking lot stripes can help to ensure everyone is parking properly in your lot. If you've noticed the lines have faded over time, consider having the lot repainted. You'll want to have the stripes for each spot painted, as well as any directional arrows on the asphalt and any handicap parking information you might want added to parking spots. If you have parking lot bumpers, you may also want to have these re-painted from time to time.

Asphalt Paving And Patching

Asphalt can begin to crack over time. Whether you have a lot that sees wear and tear or you simply haven't had your asphalt repaired recently, consider having a blacktop company come out and assess your lot. In some cases, you can have cracks and holes repaired. For more seriously damaged lots, you may want to have the entire lot re-paved. Remember that you'll want to have your parking lot re-striping performed after having the lot re-paved.

Update Your Signage

You may want to replace signage in your parking lot that has become old and faded. New handicap parking signs can help to give your lot a fresh look. Signs welcoming visitors to your business can help to set your company apart, and adding new signs for the entrance and exit to your lot can help to ease traffic issues. You may even want to add a few stork parking space signs to make your business a bit more friendly to customers who are expecting.

Your asphalt paving company can help you with many of the regular maintenance tasks your parking lot requires. Schedule an appointment to have your lot inspected, and come up with an action plan to correct any issues that may be detracting from the look of your parking lot.
