When a general contractor reached out to us for help with a deteriorating school parking lot in Hempfield, PA, we knew it wasn’t just about looks—it was about safety. Cracked pavement, uneven surfaces, and worn-out lines were creating real problems for students, staff, and visitors.
It was time to strip it all back and rebuild it right.
When Asphalt Becomes a Hazard
The parking lot had seen better days.
Deep cracks stretched across the asphalt, patches were crumbling, and the surface had become a growing liability. Cars bumped their way over uneven spots, and pedestrians had to watch every step to avoid a misstep or twisted ankle.
It wasn’t just unsightly—it was unsafe.
That’s when the GC overseeing the property turned to us.
Their team was managing several aspects of the site, but they needed a paving partner they could trust to tackle this key part of the project. We were brought in to solve the problem from the ground up.
Clearing the Way for Quality
Our first step was to tear out the old, cracked asphalt. No quick fixes here—this surface needed a full reset. We brought in the equipment to break up and haul away the failing material, then prepped the base for a solid, lasting result.
With the foundation stabilized and graded, we laid fresh, high-quality asphalt, ensuring a smooth finish with proper drainage to prevent future issues. Once the pavement was compacted and set, we moved on to the details that make a difference.
That’s where line striping came in. Clear, sharp markings were applied to direct traffic and organize parking—especially important for a high-traffic area like a school campus. Now, everyone knows where to park and how to navigate the space safely.
“The Pavement Looks Brand New!”
That’s what the team said when the job was complete—and we couldn’t agree more. What was once a cracked and dangerous surface is now a clean, well-marked, and safe environment for students and guests alike.
The project didn’t just meet expectations—it eliminated a liability and brought long-term value to the property. We were proud to partner with another contractor to make this upgrade a success.
