Concrete Parking Lots Anderson Indiana


​Concrete is a building material like no other.  Asphalt is historically the "go-to" paving surface for parking lots.  However, due to increased environmental concerns and the ever-increasing prices of asphalt, concrete parking lots are becoming more and more popular.  This shouldn't come as a surprise because of the strengths that we will further outline below.  SUBMIT AN INSTANT QUOTE or call us at 555-555-5555 to talk with a representative of Anderson IN Concrete Services to discuss your needs!

SUMMARY OF CONCRETE

Concrete parking lots are, in their most basic form, just a very large concrete slab.  There are just a few minor differences that sets the parking lot apart from a slab, here they are:
  • Parking lots require a modified and graded surface for drainage.  
  • Higher load capacity
  • Added resistance to rain, snow, ice and continual thawing and freezing

Parking lots made of cement have some inherent properties that continue to make it a good choice when creating a parking lot for your business:
  • Concrete raises the efficiency of lighting in an area, therefore lower energy costs
    • 30 percent of the light fixtures can be eliminated in an concrete parking lot versus an asphalt lot while retaining the same standard of light.
  • Heat-island effect is dramatically lowered.
    • Concrete parking lots can be as much as 10 degrees cooler than what a parking lot made of asphalt is
    • Lowers cooling requirements of adjoining buildings and structures.
  • Extremely low maintenance costs
    • General cleaning every year – power-washing, etc.
    • Concrete joint sealing

SUMMARY OF ASPHALT:

  • Over 90% of parking lots are paved with asphalt
  • Asphalt price has continuously been on the rise
  • It’s make-up is close to that of concrete except that it binds using liquid asphalt.
  • Liquid asphalt needs to be reapplied to the asphalt parking lot every few years.
  • Every 10 years asphalt needs to be fully resurfaced.

ADVANTAGES OF CONCRETE OVER ASPHALT

Below are some reasons why you should choose to have concrete poured for your parking lot instead of asphalt:
  • Cost over the life of the product is severely less
  • Asphalt is currently rising in price
  • Cement equipment has improved to the point that it has effected the price of installation.  Cement installation and repair are now cheaper than ever.
  • Other considerations like the load capacity and structural integrity of concrete
