Parking lot paving for businesses, churches, and HOAs

We pave new parking lots, replace failed ones, and overlay worn ones for businesses, offices, churches, schools, apartment communities, and HOAs around Austin. We plan the work around the people who park there.

A parking lot carries more weight and more turning traffic than a driveway, especially from delivery trucks, garbage trucks, and buses. That makes the base and asphalt thickness even more important. We size both to the traffic your lot gets.

New lots and full replacement

For a new lot, we grade for drainage, then build and compact the base. We pave in lanes with a paver and roll each lane while it’s hot. We compact the seams between lanes so they stay tight.

When an old lot has failed, it may need full replacement. Signs include alligator cracking across large areas, potholes that keep coming back, and a base that’s pumping water or sinking. We break out and haul off the old asphalt, repair or rebuild the base, and lay new asphalt. The asphalt we remove can be recycled.

Overlays on worn lots

A worn lot with a sound base can take an overlay, a new layer of asphalt over the old that’s also used in driveway resurfacing. We cut out and patch failed spots, fill cracks, and mill edges at curbs and drains so water still flows. Then we spray a tack coat so the new layer bonds. An overlay costs less than full replacement.

Keeping the lot open

We can pave your lot in sections so part of it stays open. We can schedule the work around business hours, church services, or move-in days and mark closed areas with cones and barricades. Tell us the lot’s busiest times when you request a quote so we can plan the work around them.

Drainage, striping, and accessible spaces

Before paving, we check where water goes, including low spots that pond, drains, and curb lines. Paving is the time to fix drainage problems because water under asphalt breaks it up. Parking lot striping goes down after the asphalt cures. Accessible spaces, aisles, and signs have to meet the federal and Texas accessibility rules covered in the ADA parking requirements guide.

What lot paving costs

HomeGuide’s parking lot cost guide, dated January 2026, puts an asphalt lot at $3 to $7 per square foot, or $900 to $2,500 per stall. You’ll find other published lot and striping ranges in parking lot costs in our cost guide.

Questions about parking lot paving

How soon can cars park on a new lot?

Cars can usually park on a new lot after two days, or after three to five days in summer heat. Heavy trucks should stay off it for at least a week. We give you the date for your job, and striping goes on after that.

Do you restripe after paving?

Yes, new asphalt covers the old lines, so we stripe once it has cured enough. We can redo the layout as part of parking lot striping.

Do we have to close the whole lot?

Usually, you don’t have to close the whole lot because we pave in sections, so part of it stays open. We plan the entrances and busiest rows first so traffic can still get in and out.
