What's Included in a Commercial Asphalt Job?
Commercial Asphalt covers everything required to build, pave, and maintain heavy-use parking lots, driveways, and loading docks for local businesses. This work includes full-depth site excavation, sub-base gravel compaction, paving multiple asphalt layers, and precise grading for proper drainage. Whether you are building a new facility off Golf Road or tearing out a cracked lot near the O'Hare corridor, the job demands commercial-grade equipment and thick asphalt mixes.
Prairie Line Asphalt of Des Plaines starts every Commercial Asphalt project by looking at the existing subgrade and traffic loads. Heavy delivery trucks and daily employee cars put severe stress on pavement, so you need a solid foundation before a single ton of hot-mix asphalt goes down. Prairie Line Asphalt of Des Plaines handles the grading, drainage correction, binder course installation, and the smooth surface layer so your lot drains right and handles weight without rutting.
Des Plaines weather is hard on pavement. Between freezing winter snowplows, spring downpours, and hot summer sun, commercial lots take a beating. Prairie Line Asphalt of Des Plaines lays down thick Commercial Asphalt designed to flex under heavy loads without breaking apart. We also make sure water runs off toward catch basins instead of pooling near your front doors.
Business owners often ask how long their lot will stay shut down during the paving process. Prairie Line Asphalt of Des Plaines plans our work in phases so you can keep parts of your parking lot open for customers and employees. We give you a clear schedule before we start and stick to it so your business operations do not grind to a halt.
Prairie Line Asphalt of Des Plaines uses heavy steel-wheel rollers to compact the asphalt to exact density requirements. Proper compaction stops moisture from seeping into the base layers. You get a tough, uniform surface that looks clean, handles delivery trucks, and keeps liability risks down across your entire property. We provide Commercial Asphalt services for homes and businesses in Des Plaines.
