Parking Lot Paving in Perris, CA

Parking lot paving in Perris often means planning for trucks. Distribution centers for Ross Stores, Lowe's and Home Depot are among the city's top employers, and trucks serving them and the businesses around them run on local streets and lots every day. Retail centers, restaurants, churches, schools and apartment complexes all carry heavier loads than they were designed for when trash trucks, delivery vans and box trucks cross them daily.

Where lots wear out

• Trash enclosures and the path to them
• Loading docks and delivery lanes
• Drive-throughs and main entrances
• Low spots where water collects after storms
• Edges along landscaping and irrigation

HomeGuide notes that commercial or heavy-wear areas typically need 4 inches of asphalt or more. We build those zones heavier and keep the car stalls at a lighter section so you are not paying for truck pavement everywhere.

New lots and rebuilds

For a new lot, we grade the site, build the aggregate base and pave in lifts. For an existing lot, we map which areas can be overlaid, which need to be cut out and rebuilt, and which only need sealing. That map goes into the written scope so you can see where the money goes.

Dust rules on larger sites

Under the South Coast AQMD's Rule 403, sites with 5 or more acres disturbed or 100 or more cubic yards a day of material moving in or out need controls at each exit to a paved road, and track-out has to be cleaned up by the end of each workday. Sites of 50 acres or more are large operations with extra notice and record-keeping. We plan watering, stabilized exits and sweeping into the job.

Phasing

We divide the lot into sections so part of it stays open, keep at least one entrance usable where the layout allows, and can work nights or weekends.

Striping and accessibility

When a lot is restriped, the Department of Justice says the 2010 ADA Standards apply to the number of accessible spaces. We lay out stalls, accessible and van spaces and aisles before painting.

Entrances

New or widened entrances from a public street reach into the right-of-way. We check with the city or Riverside County about what they require before scheduling that work.

Maintenance plans

A lot that is crack-repaired and sealed every few years lasts far longer than one that is left until it fails. For property owners and managers, we can lay out a multi-year plan: repairs and sealing now, restriping after each seal, and an overlay when the surface reaches that point, so costs are predictable.
