Here’s How It Works: We start by educating you about the parking lot paving process, taking into consideration any unique or “out of the ordinary” issues with your current paved surfaces. Our goal is to keep you informed about the project every step of the way. This ensures an open, transparent process relative to each procedure performed. Next, we clean your parking lot to clear away debris and other foreign materials that could get trapped in the sealant or pavement. In addition, our team of experienced contractors will inspect the area and make sure your lot is properly graded to encourage drainage away from the exterior of your building. We keep you informed throughout the entire paving process giving you peace of mind that your project is done on time and on budget. At Minnesota Roads & Parking Lots, we use only the highest-quality, state approved materials for all paving, crack sealing, and patching jobs. The result – a safe, evenly paved surface that’s free of depressions or unsightly indentations.

Repairing your paved surface will extend the life of your asphalt product, making it safer and more aesthetically appealing for your customers. Whether you need small patchwork for potholes or entire swaths of surface repaired, we’ve got you covered.

Your parking lot is a reflection of your business and replacing it is a big decision. Our trusted asphalt experts provide fast, reliable, and time-tested paving solutions for all types of commercial properties.

Congratulations on your new asphalt driveway! To help preserve your blacktop surface and ensure that it remains in pristine condition, we would like to offer a few care tips to protect your investment for years to come: Initial Curing: For the first few days after installation, avoid heavy traffic, turning your steering wheel while your vehicle is stationary, and parking in the same spot for extended periods of time. This will allow the asphalt to properly “cure” as well as minimize the risk of indentations and surface marks. You may drive over your driveway after two days but do not park on it for five days, possibly longer in warmer temperatures. Your new blacktop will soften and harden as temperatures fluctuate. Watering down your driveway with a hose on hotter days will cool it and temporarily harden the blacktop. Please note, although we make every effort to avoid puddles on your driveway, small ones may develop depending on the natural slope and drainage of your property. Avoid Excessive Weight: Keeping excessive weight off the new asphalt is also important, the extra weight from larger vehicles will depress your new blacktop. Lawn chairs, grills, bicycles, and motorcycle kickstands can also exert weight that will create holes and depressions in your driveway, especially in hot weather. When storing campers or boats for long periods of time, you should place a piece of plywood under the tongue jack and under the tires. To help preserve your new driveway, apply a sealcoating one year after the asphalt has been applied and then continue doing it every two to three years. Regular Cleansing: Keeping your driveway clean and clear of rocks, dirt, and debris is crucial to extend its life and keep it in peak condition. Remove leaves, dirt, sticks, and other debris promptly. Regular sweeping or blowing prevents these materials from causing damage or staining the surface. Sealcoating: Consider sealcoating your driveway every two to three years, depending on climate conditions. Sealcoating provides an extra layer of protection against the elements, the sun’s UV rays, and other environmental factors that could affect the condition. What To Avoid on Your New Driveway Since the liquid asphalt in blacktop needs time to fully harden and remains soft and pliable, it’s important that you avoid doing the following until it hardens: - Avoid initially driving on your new driveway for at least two days; avoid parking on it for seven days - Avoid driving on the edges of your driveway, the edges are the weakest part due to lack of side support - Avoid gasoline, oil, anti-freeze, power steering, and transmission fluid spills and leaks For more information on driveway care, contact us today for our expert advice!
