First impressions carry real weight at an event venue. Long before guests step inside, they notice the drive-in, the parking layout, and the overall condition of the property. At Historic Acres of Hershey in Elizabethtown, PA, that first look mattered even more because this is an upscale wedding and events destination serving visitors from both Elizabethtown and Hershey.
When the team at Historic Acres of Hershey reached out to RDS Paving & Sealcoating through a referral from another commercial client, they had a clear goal. They wanted upgrades that would strengthen the property’s curb appeal and help attract new events.
For a venue like this, the parking lot is part of the guest experience. It sets the tone before a single door opens.
Giving the Property a Cleaner, More Polished Look
This project at 3425 Old Hershey Rd called for a full exterior refresh focused on the paved areas guests use right away. We provided seasonal cleaning, parking lot crack filling, commercial sealcoating, and line striping.
Each service played a role.
Cleaning the asphalt created a better surface for the work ahead and immediately removed the worn, neglected look that can build up over time. Crack filling helped address visible pavement issues before they could pull attention away from the venue’s appearance. Sealcoating then gave the lot a rich, uniform finish that made the entire property look more refined.
Finally, fresh line striping brought order and clarity back to the space.
That combination made a big visual difference. You can see how the paved areas now frame the property in a much sharper way, which matters at a venue where presentation is part of the product.
Why This Work Mattered for an Events Venue
Commercial paving projects often support function first. At Historic Acres of Hershey, function and appearance had to work together.
Wedding guests, vendors, and event attendees all move through the lot before they experience anything else on site. A faded or weathered surface can make a beautiful property feel less polished than it really is. In Central Pennsylvania, where venues compete for attention, and outdoor presentation counts through much of the event season, that visual edge can help a property stand out.
This site sits between Elizabethtown and Hershey, which gives it strong regional appeal.
That also means the property needs to make an immediate impression on couples, families, and planners arriving for tours and events. Our work supported that goal by creating a cleaner, more professional approach to the venue.
A Smooth Process from Start to Finish
One of the best parts of this project was the client’s response after the work was complete. They were thrilled with the service from the initial phone call to the estimate, through the work crews, and into the follow-up after completion.
That kind of feedback matters to us. Communication and quality of service stood out to them, and that is exactly what we aim to deliver on every commercial project in Elizabethtown, PA. Great results on the pavement are important.
A smooth, reliable experience for the client matters too.
