Commercial · Lakewood, CO
When your lot is cracking, rutting, or failing at the seams, parking lot paving has to start below the surface, not with a quick overlay. Apex Asphalt Lakewood has served Lakewood since 2019 with commercial paving and repair built around solid base work, tight grades, and durable mix placement.
Prep and base work decide whether a commercial lot lasts 3 years or 15. We start with a site walk, drainage check, and pavement evaluation to determine mill-and-overlay versus full-depth reclamation or remove-and-replace. Subgrade is proof-rolled, soft spots are undercut and rebuilt, and the base is installed in compacted lifts (typically 4-6 inches of CDOT Class 6 road base, adjusted to the loads on your site). We set grades with stringlines and laser levels, then compact with vibratory rollers to hit density and avoid future settlement.
Colorado freeze-thaw, deicing salts, and heavy delivery traffic punish asphalt that is too thin, too open, or poorly drained. We place hot mix asphalt in uniform lifts (commonly 2-3 inches for surface, more where trucks turn and stop) and compact while the mat is in temperature for proper density and low permeability. Joints are treated as the first failure point, we build tight longitudinal seams, clean vertical edges, and use tack coat at all interfaces so the new mat bonds instead of shearing. Finish work includes crisp transitions to concrete, properly formed water flow to inlets, and surface tolerance that supports safe plowing and reduces ponding.
Property managers and business owners choose us because we run commercial projects like commercial projects, with scheduling, access plans, and clear scope that protects tenants and customers. You get a written estimate, straightforward options for phasing work to keep parking open, and a crew that shows up with the right equipment for the job, including milling machines, pavers, skid steers, dump trucks, plate compactors, and steel-drum rollers. We are licensed and insured, and we focus on measurable results, stable base, correct thickness, consistent compaction, and clean edges that reduce early cracking. If the lot also needs patching, crack sealing, sealcoating, drainage correction, or ADA-compliant striping, we coordinate it so the pavement system works together.
Before we call the job complete, we do a closing walkthrough to confirm grades, tie-ins, and drainage performance, then verify all utility lids, inlet frames, and concrete interfaces sit flush. You receive a clear punch list resolution, maintenance guidance (crack sealing intervals, sealcoat timing, and plow-friendly practices), and documentation of the areas repaired or replaced. If your project includes striping, we lay out stall widths, fire lanes, and accessible spaces with proper reflectivity and clean line edges after the asphalt has cooled and cured. The result is a safer, cleaner lot that supports traffic flow, reduces trip hazards, and protects your pavement investment.
Commercial parking lot paving is only as good as the last details, and we treat those details as part of the contract, not extras. We manage staging so entrances stay usable, keep truck routes controlled, and coordinate with your tenants on noise, closure windows, and reopening times. After placement and compaction, we clean up loose aggregate, remove debris, and make sure transitions do not create tire scuffing or snowplow catches. You end up with a lot that looks professional, drains correctly, and is ready for striping, signage, and daily use without surprises.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate that lists the scope, materials (hot-mix asphalt, tack coat, crack sealant, sealcoat), and an expected schedule.
Light foot traffic is often possible the same day, and vehicle traffic is typically allowed after the asphalt cools and gains initial stability. We give site-specific guidance based on thickness, temperature, and turning movements.
Often, yes. We can do targeted repairs like saw-cut remove and replace, full-depth patching, or infrared patching, then blend the repairs into a maintenance plan such as crack filling and sealcoating.
Yes. We can restripe after paving or sealcoating, including stall lines, fire lanes, directional arrows, and accessible markings, based on your layout and requirements.
Prep typically includes demolition or milling if needed, grading for drainage, compacting aggregate base, addressing soft spots, applying tack coat where new asphalt meets existing pavement, and compacting hot-mix with vibratory rollers for density.
Parking lot paving for commercial properties needs more than a smooth surface, it needs stable support, correct grades, and joints that do not open up after the first winter. Apex Asphalt Lakewood handles full replacements, mill-and-overlay paving, and targeted repairs for retail centers, offices, warehouses, HOAs, churches, and multifamily properties. We plan around access and business hours, then build the pavement system to match the traffic loads on your site.
The right approach depends on what is happening under the mat. If you have widespread alligator cracking, pumping, or repeated potholes, we usually recommend removing failed sections, correcting subgrade issues, and rebuilding the base before placing new asphalt. For lots with a sound structure but surface oxidation, raveling, or moderate cracking, milling and repaving can restore profile and ride quality while maintaining elevations at doorways, sidewalks, and drainage structures. We also perform infrared repair and saw-cut patching in high-stress areas like dumpster pads, loading zones, and turning radii to stop failures from spreading.
Quality control comes from the sequence: proof-roll, undercut weak spots, install and compact base in lifts, apply tack coat, pave in consistent lift thickness, and compact at the right temperature with steel-drum and pneumatic rollers when needed. We pay special attention to longitudinal and transverse joints, because poor joints are where water gets in, then freeze-thaw does the rest. After paving, we can coordinate crack sealing, sealcoating, and pavement markings so the finished lot is protected, legible, and ready for traffic.
If you are planning a capital improvement or need fast repairs for safety and liability, we will provide a written scope with clear quantities and staging notes. You will know what gets milled, what gets replaced full depth, where drainage will be adjusted, and when the lot can reopen.
