How many ADA stalls are required in your parking lot?
As a business owner, the law requires you to construct a parking space designated for persons with disabilities. What you may not know, however, is the number of parking spaces to reserve. Note requirements for businesses with new constructions may be different from those that have existing parking spaces.
If you are planning to construct a new parking space, you can use the following table as a reference. Keep in mind that there is also the minimum requirement for van accessible spaces. In every six parking lots, there should be one designated space for vans. For example, if you have 200 parking lots, you would need to reserve around 33 slots for accessible parking, six of which would be for van accessible.
Is ADA parking lot compliance mandatory?
The 1990 ADA laws require every building to have several handicap parking lots. As mentioned above, there are two types of parking spaces: van spaces and handicap stalls. You must have both parking spaces. The number of handicap spaces you should have will depend on the total amount of parking spaces you want to construct, as well as the type of business you operate. Contact a professional estimator to help you determine the number of accessible parking spaces to build.

Parking Lot Maintenance And Striping Services
It is amazing how much property damage can occur in your parking lot without the right safety features. Damage can occur to any property including vehicles, buildings, fences, sidewalks, pedestrians or any other piece of property.
Having wheel stops properly installed in the stalls of your parking lot will help reduce the amount of damage that can occur. It is important to have wheelstops installed by a professional to ensure the safety of everyone in your parking lot. When installed properly in a parking stall, the wheelstop should be completely covered by the vehicle occupying the space. When no vehicles are in the parking stall, the wheelstop can become a tripping hazard for pedestrians, therefore, it is a good idea to have the wheelstop painted a bright reflective color to make it easy for pedestrians to see. Proper nighttime lighting can also help with safety issues regarding the wheelstops. |
Speed bumps are another safety feature that can be installed in a parking lot. Although speed bumps can be annoying, they serve one primary purpose, and that is to slow down vehicle traffic in areas where there is also pedestrian traffic. Parking lots, are great places to have speed bumps installed. Enforcing safety in your parking lot is an easy way to save lives and prevent accidents.
Speed bumps should also be brightly painted with reflective paint so they are easily visible at all times. The brightly painted speed bumps are a great way to let drivers know they need to slow down, as well as make the bumps and humps visible for pedestrians walking through the parking area. Making the speed bumps easily visible also helps to prevent vehicles from hitting the bumps at a high rate of speed causing damage or accidents. |

Sealcoating For Your Pavement
Many different factors can breakdown your asphalt surface including Oxidation, destructive softening effects of gasoline, inclement weather, oil, and de-icers. Our sealing application is specifically formulated to improve asphalt maintenance and shield against the harmful elements that lead to deterioration of the surface. Sealcoating will prolong the life of your asphalt and restore it to like-new condition.
Here is what asphalt sealcoating does for your pavement:
- Prevents oxidation - Regular sealing applications shield against the drying action of the sun, raveling, cracking and deterioration.
- Weatherproofing – The greatest cause of pavement damage is the accumulation of moisture in the pavement structure. Professional Sealcoating prevents water from seeping into the porous paving structure and prevents weather damage.
- Save your savings - Asphalt, the ideal paving material, has tripled in cost. For pennies per square foot, sealing applications will not only protect your investment but also will prevent expensive repairs.
Sealcoat Preparation
- We remove all foreign matter including dirt, weeds, moss or any miscellaneous debris from the parking lot.
- We clean the entire surface for final sealcoat preparation using brooms, wire brushes, and commercial blowers.
- We cover all storm drains, reflectors, manhole covers, etc. before sealing.
- We blackout all signage (i.e. lines, arrows, any words) before sealcoating so that old signage does not bleed through the sealer.
- We flag off the parking area.
Oil Spots
- We clean and seal all oil spots before sealcoating using an oil spot sealer so that the oil spot does not bleed through the sealer.
Crack Maintenance
- Route existing cracks greater than 1/4" to width and depth of 1/2".
- Blow cracks free of all debris and dry with compressed air.
- Fill cracks with a hot, rubberized crack sealant that meets federal specifications of AASHTO M 173 and ASTM D 3405.
- Relieve excess sealant in filled cracks by striking off top material to form a band of sealant which extends approximately 1" on each side of the filled cracks.
- To minimize tracking from tires and foot traffic, the material is covered with sand.
