Parking Lot Paving
Lakewood’s commercial corridors take a beating. Retail centers near Belmar, office parks along Wadsworth, apartment complexes throughout Green Mountain, these lots handle heavy daily traffic on pavement that’s constantly cycling through freezes and thaws. We handle full parking lot installations and replacements, including proper subgrade preparation, correct asphalt depth for your traffic load, and ADA-compliant layout.
For lots that don’t need a full replacement, we also handle milling and overlay work to restore the surface without the cost of starting over. See our parking lot paving page for more on what’s involved.
Parking Lot Sealcoating
Lakewood sits at roughly 5,500 feet. UV intensity at elevation oxidizes asphalt faster than most property owners expect, and the freeze-thaw cycle through winter does the rest. A parking lot that should last 25 years starts showing real deterioration at 15 if it’s not protected.
We apply commercial-grade sealcoating and handle crack sealing before the sealant goes down, so you’re protecting the surface, not covering up existing damage. Done right and done on schedule, it’s the most cost-effective maintenance call you can make.
Asphalt Repair
Lakewood’s freeze-thaw cycles turn small cracks into big problems fast. Water gets in, freezes, expands, and what was a surface crack becomes a pothole or a base failure. Not every repair is the same situation.
Surface cracks with a solid base underneath get treated differently than damage that’s compromised the foundation. We assess what’s actually wrong first, then recommend the right fix, whether that’s crack filling, infrared patching, or full-depth repair. Getting the diagnosis right is what separates a repair that holds from one that fails again in six months.
Parking Lot Striping
Fresh striping does more for a property’s first impression than most owners realize. We handle new lot layouts and restriping in Lakewood, including ADA-compliant stalls, fire lanes, and directional markings. Restriping is also one of the fastest ways to get more usable capacity out of a lot you already have.
We regularly pair striping with sealcoating for property managers who want both done in one visit. It saves scheduling headaches and keeps the lot closed for the shortest window possible.
Driveway Paving
Lakewood driveways have specific challenges. The soils in neighborhoods closer to the foothills, like Applewood and Green Mountain, shift more than the clay-heavy ground you find farther east. Drainage slopes matter. Base depth matters. A contractor without local experience won’t account for any of that.
We handle full driveway replacements, new installs, and extensions. Base conditions get assessed first, and we build accordingly. You get a driveway done right the first time.
Driveway Sealcoating
At Lakewood’s elevation, UV breaks down residential asphalt faster than most homeowners expect. Add in the winter freeze-thaw cycle and a driveway that’s never been sealed will show its age fast.
We handle driveway sealcoating including crack filling before the sealant goes down. Seal every two to three years and your driveway lasts significantly longer than one that goes without. It’s basically insurance against premature replacement.
What You Should Know About Paving in Lakewood
Lakewood’s soil conditions aren’t uniform. In the neighborhoods closer to Green Mountain and the hogback, you’re dealing with more rocky and decomposed granite material that drains well but shifts under load. In the older flatlands east of Wadsworth, you get more clay, which holds moisture and heaves when it freezes. A contractor who treats every Lakewood job the same is cutting corners, whether they know it or not.
Permits matter here. The City of Lakewood requires permits for driveway construction, most commercial paving projects, and any work in the public right-of-way. Paving materials must meet specific compaction standards, typically a minimum of 92% density. Commercial lots must also meet ADA accessibility requirements for stall dimensions, slopes, signage, and access aisles.
Lakewood also holds a Phase I MS4 stormwater permit, which means paving projects that increase impervious surface may trigger stormwater management requirements. We pull the permits your project requires and make sure everything is handled correctly before we break ground. For permit questions, the City of Lakewood Building and Safety Division is the right starting point.
