Why Choose Concrete Over Asphalt for Your Parking Lot?
When comparing concrete vs. asphalt, concrete offers superior value across the board—especially for businesses in Southern California. Here’s why more Cerritos property owners are choosing concrete:
Long-Term Savings
While asphalt may seem cheaper upfront, it often requires frequent resurfacing and full replacement within 10–15 years. Concrete parking lots, on the other hand, can last 30–50 years with minimal upkeep—just occasional joint sealing and surface cleaning.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Concrete resists oil stains, heat deformation, potholes, and cracking far better than asphalt. That means less downtime, fewer repairs, and smoother surfaces for your employees and customers.
Cooler, Brighter Surfaces
Concrete’s light color reflects heat and reduces the need for lighting at night. That helps keep surface temperatures down and can reduce energy costs for nearby buildings.
Eco-Friendly Choice
Concrete is recyclable, locally sourced, and allows for better water runoff control. It also contributes to LEED certification points for green building projects.
Heavy-Duty Durability You Can Rely On
If your property serves large vehicles, delivery trucks, or sees constant traffic, concrete is the clear winner. Our parking lots are designed to handle high load demands without cracking, rutting, or potholes—making them ideal for:
- Retail centers & shopping plazas
- Industrial yards & loading zones
- Schools & public facilities
- Medical offices & clinics
- Apartment and condo communities
Our Step-by-Step Parking Lot Installation Process
1. Site Evaluation & Planning
We begin by assessing your site’s soil conditions, drainage needs, and traffic patterns. We work with you to develop a custom layout that’s functional, code-compliant, and suited to your business hours and access needs.
2. Excavation & Base Preparation
We clear and grade the site to ensure a strong sub-base. Proper slope and drainage systems are installed to prevent standing water and protect the integrity of your lot.
3. Reinforcement & Forming
Heavy-duty concrete requires reinforcement. We install steel rebar or wire mesh to strengthen the slab and improve load-bearing capacity, especially in areas with heavy vehicle traffic.
4. Concrete Pouring & Surface Finishing
We pour high-strength, locally sourced concrete and finish it with your preferred texture—whether smooth, broomed, or exposed aggregate. Then we handle striping, signage, and accessibility markings for a complete, ready-to-use space.
5. Curing & Final Walkthrough
After proper curing, we perform a final inspection to confirm quality, safety, and compliance with all local codes. We’ll also coordinate with inspectors to ensure every box is checked.
