Commercial Parking Lot Paving
New parking lot construction from subgrade to finished asphalt — engineered for New Mexico heat, proper drainage, and ADA compliance from day one.
A Parking Lot Is More Than Asphalt
A properly built commercial parking lot requires adequate base thickness for your soil conditions and vehicle loads, correct cross-slopes and drainage design to prevent water ponding, ADA-compliant space layout and ramp placement, and high-quality asphalt compacted to specifications. Cut corners on any of these and the parking lot will fail prematurely — creating liability, costly repairs, and ADA exposure. We engineer and build parking lots that perform.
- Soil assessment and structural section design based on soil conditions and traffic loading
- Subgrade preparation, aggregate base compaction, and density testing
- Hot mix asphalt paving with PG 76-16 binder for New Mexico heat resistance
- ADA-compliant layout design with proper slopes, accessible spaces, and ramps

New Mexico Heat Demands Proper Specification
Parking lots in the Albuquerque area experience surface temperatures exceeding 150–160°F in summer. Improperly specified asphalt softens under this heat, rutting under stationary loads from parked vehicles. We specify asphalt mixes with the correct binder grade (PG 76-16 or PG 70-10 for Albuquerque climate) to prevent heat-related softening and deformation.

Parking Lot Construction Scopes
Every element of parking lot construction handled under one contract.
Grading & Drainage Design
Site grading to achieve positive drainage away from buildings, with minimum 2% cross-slopes across parking areas and collection points designed to prevent ponding.
Base Course & Asphalt Paving
Aggregate base placement and compaction, followed by hot mix asphalt paving in specified lifts — verified with nuclear density testing and compaction documentation.
Concrete Curb & Islands
Concrete perimeter curbing, median islands, wheel stops, and concrete aprons at building entrances — the structural elements that define parking lot geometry.
Striping & ADA Compliance
Traffic paint striping for all parking spaces, drive lanes, fire lanes, and ADA accessible spaces with the correct number, dimensions, and accessible aisle widths per local code.
