Commercial plaza paving across the GTA

Commercial plaza paving: mill and overlay or full reconstruction, phased so tenants keep access.

Plaza and parking lot paving is about more than laying new asphalt. The lot has to stay usable for tenants and customers, water has to drain to the catch basins instead of pooling at the storefronts, and the surface has to handle delivery trucks turning on it every day.

Mill and overlay or full reconstruction?

When the base is still sound, milling off the worn top layer and paving a new surface course is the cost-effective fix. When the lot is rutted, heaving or breaking up across wide areas, the base has failed and the only lasting repair is full-depth reconstruction. We check the base on site before recommending either, and put the depths and tonnage on the written quote.

Phased so the property stays open

Large lots are paved in sections, with entrances and fire routes kept open and each phase marked and signed. Property managers get a schedule before work starts, so tenants can be told which areas close and when.

Questions we get asked

Can our plaza stay open while the parking lot is repaved?

Yes. Commercial lots are normally paved in phases, with at least one entrance and the fire route kept open. Work can be scheduled for evenings or weekends so tenants lose as little parking as possible.

How do you decide between mill and overlay and full reconstruction?

We look at the base. If the lot is worn but flat and draining, a mill and overlay gives a new surface for less money. If it is rutted, sinking or cracked in a web pattern across large areas, the base has failed and needs to be rebuilt; overlaying it would crack again within a few seasons.

Do you pave commercial lots outside Richmond Hill?

Yes. AMPAC is based in Richmond Hill and paves commercial properties across Toronto, York Region, Peel, Durham and Halton.
