Hear from Our Customers
Your parking lot is the first thing customers see when they visit your business. A smooth, well-constructed asphalt surface tells them you care about details and quality.
You get more than just fresh pavement. You get proper drainage that prevents water damage, professional striping that maximizes parking spaces, and materials that handle Tennessee’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or settling.
The result is a parking lot that looks professional for years, not months. Your maintenance headaches disappear, and your property value increases with a surface that actually enhances your business image instead of detracting from it.
Tristar Paving has been serving Barfield and Wilson County for over 50 years. We understand Tennessee soil conditions, local drainage requirements, and what it takes to build parking lots that survive Middle Tennessee weather.
As a veteran-owned business, we bring military discipline to every project. That means showing up when scheduled, completing work as promised, and standing behind our craftsmanship.
Our team has paved parking lots for businesses throughout the Nashville area, from small retail centers to large commercial developments. We know Barfield’s specific needs because we’ve been part of this community for decades.
First, we evaluate your site and discuss your specific needs. We measure the area, assess drainage requirements, and explain exactly what your project will involve before any work begins.
Next comes site preparation. We remove old pavement if needed, grade the surface for proper drainage, and compact the base material. This foundation work determines how long your parking lot will last.
Then we install the asphalt in layers, using proper temperatures and compaction techniques. We finish with professional striping and any required signage. The entire process is designed to minimize disruption to your business operations.

Your parking lot paving project includes site evaluation, proper base preparation, quality asphalt installation, and professional striping. We handle permits, ensure ADA compliance, and coordinate with local inspectors.
Barfield businesses face unique challenges with clay soil conditions and seasonal weather changes. We account for these factors in our base preparation and material selection, ensuring your parking lot performs well in Middle Tennessee’s climate.
You also get our knowledge of Wilson County requirements and local suppliers. We source materials from regional suppliers who understand Tennessee specifications, and we’re familiar with county inspection processes that keep your project on schedule.
Most parking lot paving projects in Barfield take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Weather conditions can affect timing since asphalt needs dry conditions and appropriate temperatures for proper installation.
Site preparation usually takes one day, including any necessary grading and base work. Asphalt installation typically happens the next day, followed by striping once the surface has properly cured.
We coordinate with you to minimize business disruption, often scheduling work during slower periods or completing sections in phases so part of your parking area remains accessible throughout the project.
New asphalt paving involves complete removal of old surfaces and installation of fresh base material and asphalt layers. This is necessary when existing pavement has structural problems, poor drainage, or extensive damage.
Parking lot restoration includes services like sealcoating, crack filling, and patching existing asphalt that’s still structurally sound. Restoration extends the life of good pavement but won’t fix underlying drainage or base problems.
We evaluate your specific situation to recommend the most cost-effective approach. Sometimes partial reconstruction of problem areas combined with restoration of good sections provides the best value for your investment.
Parking lot paving costs vary based on size, site conditions, and specific requirements like drainage improvements or ADA compliance features. Most commercial projects in Wilson County range from $3-7 per square foot.
Factors affecting cost include existing pavement removal, base preparation requirements, asphalt thickness needed for your traffic loads, and any special features like speed bumps or decorative elements.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges or hidden fees – just transparent pricing based on your specific project requirements.
Yes, proper grading and drainage are essential parts of every parking lot project. Poor drainage is the leading cause of premature pavement failure in Tennessee’s climate.
We evaluate your site’s natural drainage patterns and design the parking lot grade to direct water away from the pavement and buildings. This includes installing catch basins, culverts, or other drainage features when necessary.
Wilson County’s clay soil conditions require special attention to drainage design. We have extensive experience with local soil types and know how to prevent the water accumulation problems that cause pavement cracking and settling.
We use hot mix asphalt designed specifically for Tennessee climate conditions and commercial traffic loads. The exact mix design depends on your expected traffic patterns and local soil conditions.
For most Barfield commercial parking lots, we recommend a dense-graded mix with appropriate binder content to handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. Heavy traffic areas may require modified asphalt or thicker installation.
All materials meet Tennessee Department of Transportation specifications and come from local suppliers who understand Middle Tennessee requirements. We don’t cut corners on material quality because proper materials are essential for long-term performance.
Light vehicle traffic can typically use new asphalt within 24-48 hours after installation, depending on weather conditions and asphalt thickness. Heavy trucks or delivery vehicles should wait 3-7 days for full curing.
Temperature affects curing time significantly. Hot summer weather accelerates the process, while cooler temperatures require longer curing periods. We provide specific timing guidance based on actual conditions during your project.
We coordinate the timing with your business needs, often scheduling installation to minimize disruption during your busy periods. Emergency access can usually be arranged if needed during the curing period.
