Phase 1 brought us new sidewalks, phase 2 brings us a new parking lot!
A new parking lot is just one of the great improvements we have been making to help our employees, customers, and vendors. It was entertaining to watch the machines every step to make our parking lot go from a hot mess to a smooth and organized space.
Step 1: The soil stabilizer
This heavy piece of machinery ground up the existing parking lot, mixed in a binding agent, and created a better base for vehicle traffic.
Step 2: Base Layer
This is a critical step to ensure the foundation for the parking lot is compacted correctly and has proper pitch for drainage.
Step 3: Asphalt
It was a pretty warm day, but these guys did a great job to ensure the paving machine created an even pour. We had two layers installed. After each layer, they used heavy rollers to compact the surface.
Step 4: Marking
If you have visited us before, you may have noticed that we aren’t the best at parking in a straight line. This not only looks great, it also added designated accessible spaces. No promises that the stripes will be helpful in the winter!
Stay tuned to see what other improvements we are doing!
When I first started researching paving, I had no idea that there were so many phases to it. I quickly learned that there’s more to it than just laying down the pavement. It involves a complex process that includes excavation, grading, drainage, sub-base, base course, asphalt paving, striping and more. Each phase has its own unique challenges that need to be met in order for the pavement to be successful.
Witnessing the transformation of the parking lot from a chaotic mess to a well-organized space must have been quite fascinating! I can imagine the excitement as the soil stabilizer pulverized the old lot and created a strong foundation with the binding agent. Despite the heat, the skilled workers ensured a smooth and even pour of the asphalt, using heavy rollers to compact it perfectly. I can’t wait to see what other remarkable improvements are in store!
I must say, reading about the process of transforming the parking lot was quite fascinating. As I envisioned the soil stabilizer grinding up the old lot and creating a stronger foundation, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement for the end result. Imagining the asphalt being poured under the warm sun, followed by the precise marking of parking lines, made me look forward to visiting and experiencing the newly improved and organized space firsthand.
Watching the transformation from a chaotic parking lot to a well-organized space was quite a spectacle. The meticulous steps involved in the process, from the soil stabilizer to the final parking lines, reflect a commitment to enhancing the experience for everyone who visits. I can’t wait to see what other improvements are in store!
Big Dog, your vivid description of the parking lot transformation made me feel like I was right there with you, witnessing the evolution from chaos to order. The soil stabilizer’s grinding and mixing felt like a technological dance, and the asphalt pouring on that warm day created a tangible sense of progress. I can almost imagine the satisfaction of seeing those perfectly marked parking lines, providing both aesthetics and functionality. Great job documenting the process!
