Hear from Our Customers
A properly paved parking lot isn’t just about looks. It’s about safety, liability protection, and showing customers you run a professional operation.
When your asphalt is smooth and well-maintained, customers can focus on your business instead of dodging potholes. Your insurance company notices too—fewer slip-and-fall risks mean fewer headaches for you. And here’s something most business owners don’t realize: quality commercial paving actually saves you money over time because you’re not constantly patching problems or dealing with drainage issues that damage your foundation.
The difference between good paving and cheap paving shows up in year three, not day one. That’s when properly installed asphalt with the right base preparation is still performing while the quick fixes are already cracking and settling.
We’ve been handling commercial paving projects in Silver Point and Wilson County since before most paving companies existed. We’re veteran-owned, which means we understand the value of doing things right the first time.
Over five decades, we’ve paved everything from small retail parking lots to large industrial complexes throughout Middle Tennessee. We know how Silver Point’s clay soil behaves, what Tennessee’s freeze-thaw cycles do to asphalt, and how to build parking lots that handle both summer heat and winter weather without falling apart.
Most importantly, we’ve built our reputation one project at a time in this community. Your neighbors have worked with us. Your competitors probably have too.
First, we meet with you to understand your needs and inspect your site. We’re looking at drainage patterns, traffic flow, soil conditions, and any existing problems that need addressing. No surprises later—we identify potential issues upfront.
Next, we prepare a detailed plan that includes proper base preparation, grading for water runoff, and asphalt specifications designed for your traffic load. If you need ADA-compliant striping or special features like loading zones, we factor that in from the beginning.
During construction, we handle site preparation, base installation, and asphalt paving using commercial-grade equipment and materials. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business—most projects are completed within the agreed timeframe. Finally, we finish with professional striping, cleanup, and a walkthrough to ensure everything meets your expectations.
Ready to get started?
Every commercial paving project starts with proper site preparation and drainage planning. In Silver Point’s climate, water management isn’t optional—it’s essential for long-term performance. We grade your lot to direct water away from your building and prevent standing water that damages asphalt over time.
Our asphalt mixes are specifically chosen for Middle Tennessee conditions and commercial traffic loads. We’re not using residential-grade materials on commercial projects. The base preparation follows industry standards for your expected traffic volume, whether you’re paving a small office parking area or a busy retail center.
Professional striping and ADA compliance are included in every project. Clear parking spaces, traffic flow arrows, handicap accessibility features, and any required signage—we handle all the details that keep your lot functional and legally compliant. Most business owners don’t realize that improper ADA compliance can result in costly lawsuits, so we make sure everything is done right from the start.
Most commercial parking lot projects in Silver Point take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Small office lots might be completed in two days, while larger retail or industrial projects typically require 3-5 days.
Weather plays a role—we don’t pave in rain or when temperatures are too cold for proper asphalt curing. Tennessee’s climate gives us a good working season from spring through fall, but we plan projects around weather forecasts to avoid delays.
We schedule work to minimize disruption to your business operations. For retail locations, we often work in sections so part of your parking remains available, or we can schedule work during your slower business periods.
Asphalt repair works when you have isolated problem areas—a few potholes, some cracking, or small sections that have failed. We can patch these areas, seal cracks, and extend your parking lot’s life for several more years.
Full replacement is necessary when the base has failed, when more than 30% of your asphalt shows significant deterioration, or when drainage problems have caused widespread damage. Trying to patch extensively damaged asphalt is throwing money away—the problems will just keep spreading.
During our site inspection, we’ll give you an honest assessment of what makes financial sense. Sometimes a complete overlay (new asphalt over prepared existing surface) is the right middle-ground solution that costs less than full replacement but lasts longer than repairs.
Clay soil in Silver Point requires special attention during parking lot construction because it doesn’t drain naturally and can shift when it gets saturated. We start with proper grading to direct surface water away from your building and toward appropriate drainage areas.
Base preparation is critical with clay soil. We often need to excavate deeper than in other soil types and install a properly compacted gravel base that provides stability and drainage. This prevents the settling and cracking that happens when asphalt is installed directly over unprepared clay.
We also install drainage systems when necessary—catch basins, culverts, or subsurface drainage that handles water before it becomes a problem. It costs more upfront but saves thousands in repairs later when your parking lot isn’t constantly dealing with standing water and soil movement.
Tennessee’s climate is tough on asphalt—hot summers, freeze-thaw cycles, and plenty of rain. Regular maintenance extends your parking lot’s life from 15 years to 25+ years, which is significant money over time.
Sealcoating every 3-4 years protects against UV damage, water penetration, and chemical spills from vehicles. Crack sealing should be done promptly when cracks appear—water that gets into cracks and freezes will turn small problems into major repairs.
Striping typically needs refreshing every 2-3 years depending on traffic volume. Faded lines don’t just look unprofessional—they can create liability issues if parking spaces and traffic patterns aren’t clearly marked. We provide maintenance schedules tailored to your specific lot and usage patterns.
Yes, ADA compliance is included in every commercial paving project we do. Non-compliant parking lots expose businesses to lawsuits and fines, so we make sure everything meets current federal accessibility standards.
This includes proper number and placement of handicap parking spaces based on your total parking count, correct signage and pavement markings, accessible routes from parking to building entrances, and proper slope requirements for wheelchair access.
ADA requirements have been updated over the years, so older parking lots often need upgrades during repaving projects. We’ll identify what needs to be brought up to current standards and include those improvements in your project scope—it’s much more cost-effective to handle compliance during paving rather than as a separate project later.
Commercial paving costs in Silver Point typically range from $3-7 per square foot depending on the scope of work, site conditions, and specifications required. New parking lot installation costs more than overlay work, and complex sites with drainage challenges or extensive prep work cost more than straightforward projects.
The size of your project affects pricing—larger lots have better per-square-foot economics than small areas. Additional features like decorative borders, special striping, or concrete work for curbs and walkways add to the base paving cost.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees, and no pressure to decide immediately. Good commercial paving is an investment that should be planned properly, not rushed into.
