Parking Lot Paving in Baton Rouge, LA

Before a customer ever touches your door handle, they've driven across your cracks, splashed through your puddles and squinted at stall lines nobody can read anymore. That's the first impression. Not your signage.

Around here, lots give out early, and luck has nothing to do with it. Expansive clay under the pavement puffs up and pulls back with the seasons. Add 60 plus inches of rain a year, then Gulf heat cooking a thin mat right where the box trucks swing wide, and you've got a lot on borrowed time.

From the first walk of the property all the way through layout, drainage, engineered base, hot mix, striping and ADA work, parking lot paving in Baton Rouge is what we do daily. Asphalt and concrete both run in house, which means curbs, inlets and pavement come from one crew instead of three phone numbers.

Gulfline Paving works out of a yard on the Airline Hwy corridor, and private jobs get built to Louisiana DOTD grade standards. FedEx, Academy Sports, Regions Bank, the Louisiana National Guard. Those lots are ours.

Six or seven years old and already alligatored. We roll up on lots like that constantly, and almost never is the asphalt itself to blame. What sits beneath it usually tells the whole story.

• Expansive clay subgrade that puffs when it's wet, shrinks when it dries, and cracks your pavement from underneath.
• Flat grading that lets storm water park in the drive aisle instead of leaving.
• Gulf heat and UV baking the binder out until the top course starts raveling loose.
• Concentrated truck loads from trash pickup and delivery routes pounding the same wheel paths every single day.
• Thin base sections built to win a bid instead of built to carry actual traffic.

Drive the Perkins Rd corridor or the older blocks of Mid City and you'll spot it. Pretty surface course up top, undersized base below, blowing out at every truck route.
