Commercial Parking Lot Construction
Complete parking lot construction packages for retail centers, office complexes, and industrial facilities. Concrete and asphalt parking surfaces with proper subgrade preparation, drainage integration, and long-term durability designed for heavy commercial traffic.
Commercial parking lot construction requires a general contractor who understands that your parking area is often the first impression customers and tenants have of your property. Beyond aesthetics, a properly constructed parking lot must withstand heavy traffic loads, Texas heat expansion, and the drainage challenges that can undermine poorly built pavements.
We construct both concrete and asphalt parking lots for retail centers, office complexes, industrial facilities, and multi-family developments throughout the DFW metroplex. Concrete provides superior durability and lower lifetime maintenance costs for heavy-traffic applications, while asphalt offers cost advantages for certain projects. We help property owners evaluate the trade-offs and select the optimal pavement system.
Proper subgrade preparation is the foundation of parking lot longevity. We thoroughly compact and proof roll subgrades before base installation, addressing soft spots and drainage issues before paving. This attention to subgrade conditions prevents the settlement and pavement failures that plague parking lots built on inadequate bases.
The Mesquite retail market continues to evolve with new development and redevelopment projects requiring updated parking infrastructure. We've constructed parking lots for big-box retailers, restaurant pad sites, and multi-tenant retail centers-understanding the code requirements, ADA accessibility standards, and traffic flow considerations that these projects demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should my commercial parking lot be concrete or asphalt?
Concrete costs more initially but lasts 2-3 times longer than asphalt with minimal maintenance. For high-traffic retail, heavy trucks, or areas where aesthetics matter, concrete is typically the better investment. Asphalt works well for lower-traffic areas and projects with constrained budgets.
How thick should a commercial parking lot be?
Concrete parking lots typically range from 5-7 inches thick depending on traffic loads. Heavy truck areas may require 8 inches or more. Asphalt lots typically have 2-4 inches of hot mix over 6-8 inches of base. Thickness recommendations come from geotechnical analysis and traffic studies.
How long does parking lot construction take?
A typical 50,000 SF parking lot takes 3-4 weeks for concrete construction including subgrade prep, base, paving, and striping. Asphalt lots can be completed faster, often in 2-3 weeks. Weather, particularly rain, can extend timelines.
Do you handle parking lot drainage design?
We coordinate with civil engineers to ensure proper grades and drainage structures. Our construction includes installation of inlets, storm pipes, and grading to direct water away from buildings and prevent ponding in driving and parking areas.
What about ADA accessibility requirements?
All commercial parking lots must meet ADA accessibility standards. We construct the required number of accessible spaces, proper access aisles, detectable warning surfaces, and accessible routes from parking to building entries. We ensure compliance with current accessibility codes.
