How Often Should a Commercial Parking Lot Be Resurfaced?

Commercial lots should be resurfaced based on pavement condition, not a fixed schedule. An overlay may be appropriate when surface wear is widespread but the base remains stable.

When resurfacing makes sense

Fading, minor cracking, and general surface wear can be candidates after necessary repairs. Potholes, deep rutting, alligator cracking, standing water, and soft areas need a deeper evaluation before an overlay.

Plan around operations

Property managers should review traffic routes, loading areas, access, drainage, and striping before work begins. Phasing can help maintain access. Parking lot paving and resurfacing should match the lot’s condition.
