Hear from Our Customers
Your customers form their first opinion about your business the moment they pull into your parking lot. A smooth, professional surface tells them you care about quality and safety. It guides traffic efficiently, prevents accidents, and shows you’re serious about your operation.
When your parking lot looks sharp and functions well, customers feel confident about doing business with you. Employees appreciate safe walking surfaces. Delivery trucks navigate easily. Everything flows better when your pavement does its job right.
You’re not just getting asphalt—you’re investing in your business reputation and daily operations that work seamlessly for everyone who visits your property.
TriStar Paving has been handling Tennessee’s toughest paving challenges for over 50 years. As a veteran-owned company, we bring military precision to every project in Wilson County and surrounding areas.
We’ve seen how Tennessee weather tests pavement—from scorching summers to freeze-thaw cycles that crack inferior work. That’s why we use materials and techniques specifically chosen for Middle Tennessee conditions.
Gassaway businesses trust TriStar because we show up when promised, finish on schedule, and stand behind our work. We understand that your business can’t afford extended downtime or shoddy results that need fixing in two years.
First, we evaluate your site and discuss your specific needs—traffic patterns, drainage requirements, timeline constraints. No surprises, no hidden issues discovered halfway through the job.
Next comes proper site preparation. We handle excavation, grading, and base installation to ensure your new pavement has the foundation it needs to last decades, not just years.
The paving phase uses high-quality asphalt materials applied with professional equipment. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business operations while maintaining the quality standards that have kept us in business for five decades.
Final steps include striping, signage, and any additional features like curbing or accessibility compliance. You get a complete parking lot that’s ready for heavy use from day one.

Your parking lot paving project includes everything needed for a professional result. Site preparation addresses drainage issues that plague many Tennessee properties—standing water destroys pavement faster than anything else.
The asphalt mix is specifically designed for local climate conditions. Tennessee’s temperature swings and heavy rainfall demand materials that can flex without cracking and shed water effectively.
Gassaway’s commercial district sees steady traffic year-round. Your new parking lot will handle delivery trucks, employee vehicles, and customer traffic without developing the ruts and cracks that make properties look neglected. Professional striping ensures efficient traffic flow and ADA compliance—details that matter when customers and inspectors evaluate your business.
Most commercial parking lot projects in Gassaway take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. We work efficiently to minimize business disruption—we can often phase the work to keep portions of your lot accessible during construction.
Weather affects timing since asphalt needs proper conditions to cure correctly. Tennessee’s spring and fall typically offer the best paving windows, though we handle projects year-round when conditions allow.
The key is proper planning. We schedule your project well in advance and communicate clearly about each phase, so you can plan around any temporary access limitations.
Asphalt handles Tennessee’s freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete. It flexes with temperature changes instead of cracking, and repairs are simpler when maintenance is eventually needed.
The dark surface melts snow and ice faster in winter, improving safety for customers and employees. Asphalt also costs significantly less upfront while providing excellent durability when properly installed and maintained.
For Gassaway’s commercial properties, asphalt offers the best combination of performance, cost-effectiveness, and weather resistance. It’s why most successful businesses throughout Middle Tennessee choose asphalt for their parking areas.
Widespread cracking, multiple potholes, or drainage problems usually indicate replacement time. If more than 25% of your surface shows significant damage, replacement typically costs less long-term than extensive repairs.
Surface issues like minor cracks or isolated potholes can often be repaired effectively. But if the base has failed—evidenced by sinking areas or recurring problems in the same spots—replacement becomes the smart financial choice.
We provide honest assessments based on 50+ years of experience. We’ll tell you when repairs make sense and when replacement saves money over time. No overselling—just practical advice for your specific situation.
Professional striping includes parking space lines, directional arrows, handicap symbols, fire lane markings, and any custom business signage you need. All markings follow ADA guidelines and local regulations.
Quality striping paint typically lasts 2-3 years in Tennessee’s climate before needing refresh. High-traffic areas may need attention sooner, while protected areas can go longer between touch-ups.
We use commercial-grade paint designed for durability and visibility. Proper surface preparation ensures the paint adheres correctly and maintains crisp lines that enhance your property’s professional appearance throughout its lifespan.
Costs vary significantly based on size, site conditions, and specific requirements. A typical small business lot might range from $15,000-40,000, while larger commercial properties can require $50,000-150,000 or more.
Factors affecting price include excavation needs, base thickness requirements, drainage improvements, and accessibility features. Complex sites with significant grading or utility work cost more than straightforward installations.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs clearly. No hidden fees or surprise charges—you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and why each element is necessary for a quality result.
Spring and fall offer ideal conditions for asphalt paving in Tennessee. Temperatures between 50-85°F and low humidity help ensure proper curing and long-term performance.
Summer paving is possible but requires careful timing around extreme heat. Winter work can be challenging due to temperature requirements, though emergency repairs are handled year-round when necessary.
Planning ahead gives you the best scheduling options and often better pricing. We recommend booking spring projects by late winter and fall projects by mid-summer to secure your preferred timing and avoid weather delays.
