Hear from Our Customers
Your parking lot becomes an asset, not a liability. Customers drive in without dodging potholes or wondering where to park.
The surface stays smooth through Nashville’s freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat. Water drains properly instead of pooling into ice rinks every winter.
Your property looks professional. You stop getting complaints about cracked pavement or faded lines that nobody can follow.
TriStar Paving has been handling Nashville area paving projects for over five decades. We’re veteran-owned, Wilson County based, and we’ve seen what works in Tennessee’s climate.
We’ve paved everything from residential driveways to large commercial parking lots. Belle Meade properties demand quality that lasts, and that’s exactly what we deliver.
No shortcuts. No corner-cutting. Just proper grading, quality materials, and the kind of workmanship that keeps you from dealing with the same problems again next year.
First, we assess your site and handle any grading issues. Poor drainage kills parking lots faster than anything else, so we get the foundation right.
Next comes the asphalt installation using commercial-grade equipment. We lay it thick enough to handle your traffic load and Tennessee weather without cracking or settling.
Finally, we handle striping and any ADA compliance requirements. You get clear parking spaces, proper traffic flow, and everything marked according to local codes. The whole process is designed to minimize disruption to your daily operations.

We handle every aspect of parking lot construction and restoration. Site preparation, grading, drainage solutions, asphalt paving, and professional striping.
Belle Meade’s mix of commercial properties and upscale residential developments requires contractors who understand both markets. We’ve worked on everything from small business lots to large retail complexes.
Tennessee’s weather puts parking lots through freeze-thaw cycles, intense summer heat, and sudden temperature swings. Our material choices and installation methods account for these local conditions, giving you pavement that performs year after year.
Most parking lot paving projects take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Small business lots often finish in 2-3 days, while larger commercial projects may take a full week.
Weather affects timing since asphalt needs proper conditions to cure correctly. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if weather delays anything.
The actual paving happens quickly, but proper preparation takes time. We won’t rush the grading or base work just to meet an arbitrary deadline.
Overlay means adding new asphalt over existing pavement. It works when your base is solid but the surface is worn. Complete reconstruction means removing everything and starting fresh.
If you have drainage problems, settling, or major structural issues, overlay won’t fix them. You’ll just have the same problems under new asphalt.
We evaluate your specific situation and recommend the approach that actually solves your problems. Sometimes overlay saves money, but sometimes it’s throwing good money after bad.
Most commercial parking lots need 3-4 inches of asphalt over a properly prepared base. Heavy traffic areas or truck routes may need thicker application.
The base preparation matters more than asphalt thickness in many cases. Poor drainage or inadequate compaction will cause failures regardless of how thick the asphalt is.
We calculate thickness based on your expected traffic load, soil conditions, and local climate factors. Belle Meade’s clay soils and weather patterns require specific considerations that generic recommendations don’t address.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions in Tennessee. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to install and cure properly.
Winter paving is possible but requires special considerations and may cost more. Summer heat can make working conditions difficult but doesn’t prevent quality installation.
The key is avoiding temperature extremes and wet conditions. We monitor weather forecasts carefully and won’t start a project if conditions aren’t right for quality results.
Proper grading is the first line of defense. Water needs somewhere to go, and that means creating the right slope during site preparation.
Sometimes you need catch basins, drainage pipes, or retention areas. Belle Meade’s terrain and soil conditions often require specific drainage solutions that generic contractors miss.
We evaluate water flow patterns and design drainage that actually works. Standing water destroys asphalt quickly, so we address drainage problems before they become pavement problems.
Sealcoating every 2-3 years protects against weather and extends pavement life. Crack sealing prevents small problems from becoming major repairs.
Regular sweeping removes debris that can damage the surface. Prompt attention to any drainage issues prevents water from undermining the pavement.
We can handle ongoing maintenance or provide guidance for property managers who prefer handling it themselves. The key is staying ahead of problems rather than waiting until major repairs are needed.
