Frequently Asked Questions

How does commercial asphalt compare to concrete in Mansfield, TX?

Commercial asphalt in Mansfield costs $3-6 per square foot compared to $8-12 for concrete, with faster installation (days vs weeks) and easier repairs. Asphalt provides good durability for commercial traffic but requires more frequent maintenance. The choice depends on budget, timeline, and long-term maintenance preferences for Mansfield properties.

What thickness is required for commercial asphalt paving in Mansfield, TX?

Commercial asphalt thickness in Mansfield ranges from 2-4 inches depending on traffic volume. Light commercial use requires 2-inch asphalt over 6-inch base, while high-traffic areas need 3-4 inch asphalt with reinforced base. Thickness must support commercial vehicle loads while accounting for Mansfield's clay soil conditions.

How long does commercial asphalt paving take in Mansfield, TX?

Commercial asphalt paving in Mansfield can be completed in 1-3 days for small projects, with larger parking lots taking 1-2 weeks. This is significantly faster than concrete, allowing quicker return to commercial operations. Weather conditions in North Texas can affect paving schedules, requiring dry conditions for proper compaction.

What maintenance is required for commercial asphalt in Mansfield, TX?

Commercial asphalt in Mansfield requires annual seal coating, crack filling every 2-3 years, and resurfacing every 10-15 years. Regular maintenance prevents water intrusion and extends service life. North Texas temperature extremes accelerate asphalt aging, making preventive maintenance crucial for commercial properties.

Can asphalt be used for heavy commercial traffic in Mansfield, TX?

Yes, properly designed commercial asphalt in Mansfield can handle heavy traffic including delivery trucks and employee parking. We use commercial-grade mixes with proper base preparation and reinforcement for high-traffic areas. Asphalt performs well under commercial use when properly maintained and sealed regularly.

What is the cost difference between asphalt and concrete in Mansfield, TX?

Commercial asphalt paving in Mansfield costs approximately 40-50% less than concrete, with installation at $3-6/sq ft versus $8-12/sq ft for concrete. While asphalt requires more frequent maintenance, the lower initial cost and faster installation make it attractive for many Mansfield commercial projects seeking cost-effective solutions.

How does asphalt hold up in Mansfield's weather conditions?

Asphalt in Mansfield performs well in North Texas conditions when properly maintained. The material handles temperature extremes (100°F+ summers, occasional freezing) but requires seal coating to prevent oxidation. Mansfield's rainfall necessitates proper drainage design to prevent water damage and maintain pavement integrity.

What permits are needed for commercial asphalt paving in Mansfield, TX?

Commercial asphalt paving in Mansfield requires city permits ($100-300) for site work and paving. Additional permits may be needed for drainage modifications or work near utilities. We handle all permitting coordination and ensure compliance with Mansfield's commercial construction codes and environmental regulations.

Can existing asphalt be overlaid in Mansfield, TX?

Yes, we specialize in asphalt overlays for Mansfield commercial properties, adding 1-2 inches of new asphalt over existing surfaces. This is cost-effective for well-maintained parking lots and can be completed quickly with minimal disruption. We assess existing conditions to determine if overlay or full replacement is more appropriate.
