Concrete Truck Parking Lot Paving

Not sure if concrete is the right choice for your project? If you’re still weighing your options for your truck parking lot, here are some things to consider.

Parking lot paving is an investment, and you deserve to get your money’s worth with many years of functional use. Concrete is not the cheapest initial option compared to materials like pavers and gravel, but it offers long-term value in terms of longevity and low-hassle maintenance.

Truck parking lots have special considerations over other types of paved lots. High traffic and heavier vehicles demand high load-bearing capability. Depending on location (indoor vs. outdoor), kind (single-level vs. multi-level), and ability to support the cars that use them the most, truck parking facilities require varied formulas and reinforcements. Outdoor truck parking areas are subjected to considerable environmental stress, making them more vulnerable to damage.

As your concrete paving contractor, K&E Flatwork can offer a solution that meets the specific needs and demands of your project. We want you to be pleased with the results now and in years to come.

Why Concrete for Truck Parking Lots?

You have options for your parking lot paving material. We recommend concrete for parking lots for the following reasons:

1. Concrete is durable and longer-lasting than asphalt. When properly applied, concrete can actually increase in strength as it ages. You can expect many years of functional use when you invest in a concrete parking lot.
2. Concrete is extremely weather-resistant. It isn’t sensitive to dampness like some other building materials, and won’t decay or mildew. Unlike asphalt, concrete won’t soften in extreme heat. All these factors make concrete a solid choice to stand up to Kansas City’s challenging weather.
3. Steel-reinforced concrete with a low water-cement ratio (one of the flatwork laying processes we use) has high compressive strength, so it won’t buckle under heavy loads. This paving method provides results so structurally strong, it can even provide extra protection against earthquakes.
4. Concrete is versatile and can take on any form. For example, spray-on concrete can be used to fill up fractures in existing pavement and reinforce old slabs. 
5. Concrete is attractive and offers versatile design options. Concrete paving gives parking lots a clean and modern design—a big plus in metro areas like Kansas City. We can even use a silicone stamp to brand a logo or design onto the surface of your parking lot.
6. Concrete is readily available. Working with a paving material that is easy to source means less potential for project delays and increased economical options. 
7. Concrete can be an economically friendly choice. Concrete can be constructed with locally sourced materials. It does not contain any volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can be emitted into the air as it ages.

Concrete parking lots require little upkeep when laid by an expert paving contractor. While you will need cleaning to keep your truck parking lot attractive, you can expect little in the way of repairs over the years. Concrete parking lots don’t require resealing every few years like some paving materials.
