Building a Parking Lot Maintenance Plan
Property managers who budget pavement maintenance annually spend far less over 20 years than those who react to failures.
Annual
Sweep at least twice a year, inspect after spring thaw, seal new cracks, and repaint faded ADA markings.
Every 2-3 years
Sealcoat and restripe. Address isolated failures with full-depth patches before they spread.
Every 10-15 years
Budget for a mill-and-overlay. Setting aside a per-square-foot reserve each year avoids a surprise capital expense.
Documentation
Keep photos and dated records. They support both budget requests and liability defense.
