Hear from Our Customers
Your customers judge your business the moment they pull into your parking lot. Cracked asphalt, potholes, and faded striping send the wrong message about your standards.
Quality commercial paving does more than look professional. It eliminates liability risks from uneven surfaces and standing water. It meets ADA compliance requirements without the headaches. Most importantly, it handles Tennessee weather and heavy traffic for decades, not just a few years.
When your paving is done right, you stop worrying about customer complaints, slip-and-fall risks, and emergency repairs. You get a surface that works as hard as you do.
We’ve been serving Wilson County businesses since before GPS was invented. We’re veteran-owned, locally operated, and we understand what Norene’s climate does to asphalt over time.
We’ve paved everything from small office lots to large industrial complexes. The difference isn’t just our experience—it’s knowing which materials work best in Middle Tennessee and which shortcuts always backfire later.
Your neighbors trust us because we live here too. When we say a job will last 20 years, we’re still around to back that up.
First, we assess your site conditions, drainage needs, and traffic patterns. No two properties are identical, and cookie-cutter solutions fail fast in Tennessee’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Next comes proper preparation—excavation, grading, and base installation done to specifications that matter. Most paving failures happen because someone rushed this step. We don’t.
Then we install your asphalt using the right thickness for your traffic load. Commercial lots need different specs than residential driveways. We apply striping, ADA-compliant markings, and any required signage.
The final step is a walkthrough where we explain maintenance schedules and answer your questions. You get documentation for insurance and warranty purposes.

Our commercial paving services cover new parking lot construction, full-depth reclamation, overlay resurfacing, and ongoing maintenance. We handle projects from small professional offices to large retail centers.
Norene businesses face unique challenges. The area’s clay soil requires specific base preparation techniques. Our proximity to Nashville means heavy truck traffic that demands commercial-grade asphalt thickness. Winter freeze-thaw cycles test every joint and edge detail.
We use Tennessee Department of Transportation specifications adapted for commercial use. That means proper aggregate gradation, optimal asphalt content, and compaction standards that create lasting results. Your investment gets protected by methods proven on state highways.
Most commercial parking lots take 3-7 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Weather plays a role—we won’t pave in rain or when temperatures drop below 50°F.
The timeline includes one day for excavation and base preparation, one day for asphalt installation, and 24-48 hours for curing before you can reopen to traffic. Larger projects or those requiring significant drainage work may take longer.
We coordinate with your business schedule to minimize disruption. Many clients prefer having work done over weekends or during slower business periods. We’ll work with you to find the best timing.
Overlay involves adding new asphalt over existing pavement that’s structurally sound but showing surface wear. It’s less expensive and faster—typically 30-50% less than full replacement.
Full-depth replacement means removing old asphalt down to the base, then rebuilding everything. This is necessary when the existing pavement has structural failures, drainage problems, or base issues that overlay can’t fix.
We evaluate your current pavement condition and recommend the most cost-effective approach. Sometimes a partial replacement combined with overlay in better areas gives you the best value for your budget.
ADA compliance requires specific slope grades, accessible parking space dimensions, and proper striping patterns. We stay current on all federal and Tennessee accessibility requirements.
Accessible spaces must be 8 feet wide with 5-foot access aisles, or 11 feet wide with 8-foot aisles for van spaces. The maximum slope is 2% in any direction. Striping must meet specific color and width standards.
We handle the entire compliance process, from calculating the required number of accessible spaces based on your total capacity to ensuring proper signage placement. You get documentation proving compliance for inspections and insurance purposes.
New asphalt needs sealcoating within the first year, then every 2-3 years afterward. This protects against water penetration, UV damage, and chemical spills from vehicles.
Crack sealing should be done promptly when cracks appear—usually within 2-3 years in Tennessee’s climate. Small cracks are inexpensive to fix, but they become major problems if ignored.
Regular sweeping removes debris that can damage the surface. Line striping typically needs refreshing every 2-4 years depending on traffic volume. We provide maintenance schedules tailored to your specific lot and usage patterns.
Commercial asphalt paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot for new installation, depending on thickness requirements and site conditions. Overlay projects cost $2-4 per square foot.
Factors affecting cost include excavation needs, drainage requirements, base thickness, and accessibility for equipment. Lots requiring significant grading or utility work cost more than simple overlay projects.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down all costs. Most commercial projects qualify for financing options, and properly installed asphalt paving typically pays for itself through reduced maintenance and liability costs over its 20+ year lifespan.
Asphalt paving requires air and ground temperatures above 50°F for proper installation and compaction. Tennessee winters often drop below this threshold, making quality installation impossible.
The best paving season runs from March through November, with optimal conditions in spring and fall. Summer paving is possible but requires early morning starts to avoid excessive heat that makes compaction difficult.
We schedule winter projects for the first suitable weather window. Emergency repairs can sometimes be done with cold-mix asphalt, but permanent solutions wait for proper temperatures. Planning ahead ensures you get the best installation conditions and pricing.
