Protect your investment and keep your property looking professional.
Your pavement is more than just a surface—it's part of your brand. Whether it’s a parking lot, private road, or entrance drive, well-maintained pavement reflects positively on your business and ensures a safe experience for employees, tenants, and visitors. At Tibbs Paving, we’ve spent over 25 years helping commercial property owners and managers preserve their paved assets with smart, cost-effective maintenance strategies.
Here are a few expert tips to keep your pavement in top condition:
✅ 1. Schedule Regular Inspections
Small problems like cracks or surface wear can quickly turn into major repairs if left unchecked. Conduct routine visual inspections every season, especially after harsh weather. Look for signs of:
Surface cracks or potholes
Pooling water
Faded striping or signage
Edge crumbling or uneven surfaces
At Tibbs Paving, our team offers professional pavement evaluations to help you catch issues early and plan proactive repairs.
🔧 2. Sealcoat Every 2–3 Years
Sealcoating creates a protective barrier against UV rays, water, oil, and traffic wear. For asphalt surfaces, it’s one of the most effective ways to extend pavement life while keeping it looking fresh and clean. Scheduling regular sealcoating helps you avoid costly resurfacing later on.
Tibbs Paving provides expert sealcoating services designed to match your pavement's usage level and environment.
🕳️ 3. Fill Cracks and Repair Potholes Promptly
Water infiltration is one of the leading causes of pavement failure. Cracks allow moisture to enter the base layer, which can lead to potholes or even full surface degradation. Timely crack filling and patching prevents further damage and keeps your surface safe for vehicles and pedestrians.
We use industry-leading materials and techniques to deliver long-lasting pavement repair solutions.
🚧 4. Maintain Clear Striping and Signage
Faded lines and worn-out traffic markings can lead to confusion, accidents, or non-compliance with local codes. Fresh line striping improves both safety and visual appeal. Whether it's ADA markings, directional arrows, or general lot striping, we can help keep your property well-organized and professional.
🌧️ 5. Address Drainage Issues
Improper drainage leads to standing water, which accelerates pavement breakdown. Make sure your site is properly graded and that drainage structures like curbs, catch basins, and swales are working correctly. Our team at Tibbs Paving can assess your property and provide solutions that protect your pavement and minimize erosion.
