2 December 2021 by Clifton Sullivan

If you own a business and you have a parking area available for those who frequent your building, you know the importance of keeping it clean and free of damage so customers enjoy their experience when visiting. To improve the aesthetics of your parking area, try one or more of the following tips for paving enhancement.

Consider Changing The Color Of Your Lot

Most parking areas are comprised of standard black asphalt. While this is certainly an option to keep in place, if you are interested in changing up the appearance of your parking area, a new color can make a dramatic difference. Most paving services offer the option in the color of asphalt to be placed. Instead of opting for black, change up the parking lot appearance by adding an unexpected hue. Ask your paving service to provide you with samples of colors available to be added to the asphalt being rolled across your lot. A touch of red, blue, or green will make a favorable impact regarding your lot's final appearance after paving services are provided.

Add A Layer Of Seal Coating

Seal coating is a beneficial addition to any paved surface. This is a protective layer that helps keep underlying asphalt free from cracking, water damage, and fading. When a layer of seal coating is added over asphalt, the finished look is one that is smooth, pristine, and dark. When it is time to make repairs to your existing lot, ask the paving service you hire to add a layer of seal coat as a protectant. 

Add Stamping For A Personalized Look

If you are interested in adding a message to the areas where people walk and drive, adding stamped wording or logos is a way to get people to stop and appreciate the surface they are using. After a fresh layer of asphalt is placed upon your existing lot surface, workers use tools to place your desired messages into key locations before the asphalt has completely cured. There are several options available, including adding words of wisdom, phrases of inspiration, or your business logo for a personalized lot sure to turn heads.

Use Paint To Help Customers With Parking And Directions

After a new asphalt surface is placed and cured, the addition of paint is an option that can help keep your lot uniform and easy to maneuver. Most paving businesses also provide line painting services to keep your lot safe and professional. Use white or yellow painted lines to indicate where parking spots are located. Arrows showing the way in and out of the lot are beneficial in keeping drivers in the right areas to avoid accidents.
