Project overview

This downtown Davenport parking lot covers about 13,000 square feet and sees steady traffic all day. The crew applied a heavy coating of commercial-grade asphalt sealer across the entire lot in a single day.

The pavement is now protected from weather, oxidation and water intrusion, with the clean, uniform look that a downtown property should have.

Project details

Sealer was applied by spray and worked in by hand along the edges and around obstacles. A heavy coat on a lot this size means full, even coverage rather than a thin wash that wears through in a season.

The sealcoat shields the asphalt binder from UV and moisture, which is what keeps the pavement flexible and keeps small surface cracks from opening up.

What property owners should know

Regular sealcoating is one of the most cost-effective ways for property owners to extend the service life of an asphalt parking lot and avoid the far larger expense of deterioration and replacement.

The same crews and equipment handle a small residential driveway or a large commercial lot; the process is the same, only the scale changes.
