A parking lot with potholes at the entrance and puddles in the spaces is the first thing your customers see. Ground Effects Paving handles parking lot paving for businesses, shops, churches and property owners. As an asphalt contractor in Dallas, GA, we build new lots and re-pave old ones across west metro Atlanta.
The work starts below the asphalt. We set the grades so rain runs off the lot, then build and compact a stone base. Hot mix asphalt goes on top, and striping finishes the lot. Call or text (770) 940-0861, and we will look at the job and put the quote in writing.

We shape the lot first, so water runs off it and away from the building. Soft spots in the ground get dug out and refilled. The accessible spaces need the gentlest grades. The 2010 ADA Standards cap the slope there, and in the aisles beside them, at 1:48, about 2 percent.
Next comes the stone base. We haul it in our own dump trucks and compact it before any asphalt goes down. An asphalt trade magazine notes that entrances and dumpster areas break down when the pavement there is too thin. So those areas get a heavier section than the parking spaces.
Then the hot mix asphalt goes down. A paver lays it, and a roller compacts it. Where the lot needs a concrete approach at the street, we pour it as part of our concrete work. Striping comes last, with the stall lines and the accessible spaces laid out.
Yes, in most cases. We split the lot into sections and pave them one at a time. An entrance and part of the parking stay open while we work on the rest. A finished section can reopen before we start on the next one.
We plan the phases around your busy days. A church lot can be paved on weekdays and open again for Sunday. A store can keep its front spaces open while the back of the lot gets paved. A small lot with one entrance may need a short closure, and we plan that with you ahead of time.
We pave lots in Dallas, Hiram and the towns around them, across Paulding County and on into Atlanta. Our range reaches about 100 miles around Dallas.
A lot entrance on a state highway, such as US 278 or GA 92, falls under GDOT's driveway rules. A new or widened entrance needs a GDOT permit before work starts. GDOT takes that application only from the property owner or the company that owns or leases the property.
Rain drives the drainage work on a lot here. NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals put the Atlanta airport at about 50 inches of rain a year. On about 15 days a year, an inch or more falls. So every lot gets graded to shed that water before the base goes in.

We lay the hot mix asphalt and roll it while it is still hot. A parking lot gets its striping last.
