Commercial Parking Lot Paving
New parking lots, replacements, and overlays for New Hampshire businesses — built on a base sized for real traffic loads and graded so water has somewhere to go.
A parking lot is a working surface, and the way it's built has to account for delivery trucks, daily traffic, and snowplowing all winter long. AC Asphalt LLC paves lots for businesses across New Hampshire — from small retail and office lots to larger commercial spaces — with a base and asphalt depth chosen for the loads the lot will actually carry.
Just as important as the asphalt is the drainage. A flat lot that ponds water will fail early, especially once that standing water freezes and thaws. We grade lots so water runs to the right places, keeping the surface safer underfoot and helping it last. We'll work around your hours to keep disruption to your customers and staff to a minimum.
What's included
- Site assessment, measurement, and a written commercial quote
- Excavation and a compacted base sized for traffic loads
- Grading and slope designed to move water off the lot
- Hot-mix asphalt placed and compacted for durability
- Coordination around your business hours to limit downtime
- Clean edges and tie-ins to entrances and sidewalks
How we approach it
Every commercial parking lot paving job follows the same fundamentals — assess honestly, prep the base, and finish with attention to drainage and edges. Here's the sequence from first call to final walkthrough:
Start to finish
Free on-site estimate
We visit your property, measure the area, talk through drainage and how you use the space, then send a clear written quote. No pressure and no surprise add-ons later.
Excavate & grade
We remove the old surface or sod, then cut and shape the sub-grade so water sheds away from your home and garage instead of pooling on the pavement.
Base & compaction
A crushed gravel base is brought to depth and compacted in lifts. A solid, well-drained base is what keeps New Hampshire frost from heaving the asphalt later.
Pave & roll
Hot-mix asphalt is laid with a paver and compacted with a roller while it's hot, building a smooth, tightly knit mat at the right depth for the job.
Final walkthrough
We clean up, check the edges and slope with you, and explain how to care for fresh asphalt through its first season so the surface cures hard and even.

Commercial Parking Lot Paving questions
Can you pave our lot without shutting down the business?
In most cases we can phase the work or schedule around your slower hours so part of your lot stays usable. We'll plan the sequence with you up front so your customers and staff always know what to expect.
How is a parking lot different from a driveway?
Lots carry heavier and more frequent traffic, so they generally need a deeper, stronger base and more attention to drainage and layout. We build the base and choose asphalt depth based on the vehicles and volume your lot will see.
Do you handle line striping?
Our focus is the paving itself — base, grading, and asphalt. Striping is typically done once the new surface has cured, and we're glad to point you toward the right timing so your layout goes down on a stable, ready surface.
