Did you (or a previous owner of your parking lot) pave a new asphalt layer over the previous one, year after year? Are there now several layers of asphalt on your parking lot, to the point where it becomes an eyesore (if not an outright problem?) This is a far, far more common circumstance than many people think. As with just about anything else related to asphalt, we can help. Here at Bay Cities Aphals, we can provide the high caliber level of milling and grinding that your asphalt deserves. These repairs can make your parking lot what you want it to be.

Customize Asphalt Grinding and Milling

The truth is that no two parking lots (or other areas covered with asphalt) are the same. So, the grinding and milling that they require to make them right shouldn’t be the same, either. At Bay Cities Asphalt, we take great pride in providing customized solutions. That means that our professionals will take a look at your asphalt and then talk to you about exactly what it is that you’ll need and no more. From there, we can help you to make the best decision for you and your asphalt.

Small Milling and Grinding

Whenever possible, we take it upon ourselves to offer the most economical approach. So, when it comes to a grinding and/or milling project that’s a bit on the small size, we make sure to provide you only with what you need. Typically, this would be one worker with the best, most technologically advanced equipment. We know that, in this area, you have plenty of options when it comes to grinding and milling professionals. Thus, we do everything we can to have the best tech as well as services. We know how to provide repairs that last so that you can enjoy your parking lot for a long time to come.

Medium and Large

We believe in providing the team and the right tools for the job. Thus, when it comes to grinding and milling, we can send out a team ready to help with a “skid steer style grinder” for what are considered “medium” jobs. For larger ones, that’s when we bring out our heaviest duty equipment: the equipment used for road milling, asphalt pulverization, and other machines that may look like something out of science fiction. We’re committed to providing the right services for our customers in the Concord CA area and beyond. For a free estimate, visit our site or call (877) 908-7987.

Are you looking for the best, most economical way to repair your asphalt? Do you want your asphalt to look as good as new while still using a majority of the existing asphalt surface? Then the right option for you may be an asphalt overlay. For more than two decades, we’ve provided multiple kinds of overlays for those in Sacramento CA and the greater Northern California area. Today, we can do the same for your lot, helping it to look its very best while doing everything on time and budget.

What an Overlay Replaces

To explain what an overlay is, it’s perhaps best to start with what it’s replacing. Decades ago, the most effective way to fix an asphalt parking lot that had seen better days was to remove and replace the asphalt. That was, as you might imagine, expensive and time-consuming. Yes, sometimes it’s still the best course of action, but more often than not, there’s a repair or some other kind of less expensive and easier process. Hence, the rise of the asphalt overlay.

What an Overlay is

Think of it as adding new asphalt on top of the asphalt you already have, so that you have better asphalt than ever. Basically, we pave over your existing, worn-down asphalt surface with an entirely new level of asphalt. The two layers are fused together through a binder that’s similar to glue and we pave it with an asphalt paving machine. That way, to anyone who comes across your lot, it will seem entirely as if it was paved anew. Now, this isn’t a permanent solution. But, it can be the best solution for your budget, time frame, and more. Our staff is always glad to discuss options with you so that you can find the right one.

Petromat Overlay: Another Option

Yes, our company is called “Bay Cities Asphalt,” but we also provide some solutions that aren’t just asphalt. For one: the petromat overlay. Similar to asphalt, instead, it’s a nonwoven petroleum fabric. It’s important to note just how strong this fabric is, as it creates a very strong water barrier between the new asphalt and the old. Many of our customers have been able to extend the life of their asphalt by more than a decade by utilizing this petromat overlay. To determine exactly what the best option for your asphalt is, you’re welcome to reach us through our site or call (877) 908-7987.

Are you beginning to worry about your asphalt parking lot? Does it seem like it’s wearing down and there’s not much you can do about it? The truth is that there is something you can do. Specifically, sealcoating. This process is more or less what it sounds like: our company can apply a protective coat of liquid emulsion to your parking lot in Sacramento CA and the surrounding area. Moreover, we can do this at a price that’s right for your business, too. There are many benefits to getting your sealcoating from the experts.

How Sealcoating Can Help

Here in Northern California, we’re fortunate to get so much great sun at different times of the year. All that sun, however, can take a real toll on asphalt. Sealcoating can help. By that same token, it can fill those holes and cracks that may build over time, the ones that water could potentially penetrate, leading to further problems. What most people don’t realize about sealcoating is that it can even make your traffic markings and lines that much more visible, too. If you’ve had repairs done, such as trenching and patching, sealcoating can make them less noticeable or even hide them. All in all, sealcoating is great for extending your pavement’s life.

What’s in Sealcoating?

The answer is, not that much, really. That’s part of what makes it so effective. It mostly consists of water, asphalt, and aggregate. That’s it. There aren’t so many unnatural ingredients or anything of that nature. Moreover, it can be applied very precisely, too, as our experts are always more than happy to demonstrate. We can do it manually or with a machine, depending on your lot. Indeed, we see it as one more way that we can provide our customers with customized solutions.

Asphalt Sealcoating for Lasting Solutions

Sealcoating is something that, over time, can pay for itself in terms of how it helps your parking lot. For example, when it comes to preventative maintenance and heading off potential problems, every two years, getting sealcoating is considered the best course of action. That said, should you have recently had an asphalt overlay, best practices include giving that four to six months to cure before sealcoating. As with every other service that we offer, we’re always glad to talk about how it can help you and your asphalt. For a free estimate, head to our site or call (877) 908-7987.

Have you noticed a crack in your parking lot? It doesn’t have to be a large one, it could just be a small one. The truth is that, unfortunately, often, a large crack didn’t start that way. Rather, it came about as a result of a small crack that grew over time. To use an analogy, it’s like a leak in your roof. Sure, it might not seem like the biggest deal if it’s very tiny, but eventually (and sometimes in a hurry) it can become an enormous problem. That’s where we come in. Here at Bay Cities Asphalt, we can provide asphalt crack repair and preventative maintenance in the Oakland CA area and beyond.

What Causes Cracks

It’s natural to think that cracks in your asphalt are solely a result of large vehicles or something of that nature, but the truth is that almost all of your cracks will be caused by water and the sun. Every day all day (literally) the sun beats down on your parking lot, drying it out. That makes it more brittle. Then, when the water does arrive (whether in the form of rain, irrigation runoff, and so forth) it will begin to erode your parking lot, over time, causing cracks, potholes, and worse. There are other sources as well, of course (heavy traffic, the movement of the earth, even the construction design of your parking lot can play a role) but water and sun are the most common.

Hot or Cold, the Right Crack Repair for the Job

As with everything else we do, at Bay Cities Asphalt, we provide customized services. That means that we can provide hot as well as cold pour sealants for your parking lot. In a strong majority of cases, hot pour crack sealants are superior, but we do offer cold pour sealants for projects that may be smaller. Hot pour sealants have proven to be very effective in multiple ways, not the least of which is helping to avoid more expensive repairs in the future.

Are you looking for another way to make your parking lot that much safer? Do you want the very best in wheel stops for your lot? That’s exactly what we offer here at Bay Cities Asphalt. For Concord CA and the surrounding area, we can provide the kinds of wheel stops that will make your entire parking lot that much safer. Moreover, we’ll install them, too, so that they have the exact right wheel stops for your lot. We can help you to find the right option.

What Wheel Stops Can Do

The wheel stops that we offer can be placed wherever you want them to be. Most of our clients have them to prevent them from parking on sidewalks or going into the median but really, you can use them for any restricted area. We offer multiple kinds of wheel stops, as well. Whether you’re best served by concrete wheel stops or rubber ones, we can help. With these options, we can put together a package of wheel stops that fit your lot as well as your budget.

Concrete Wheel Stops

Durable. That’s concrete wheel stops in a word. These are as strong as wheel stops can be. When it comes to long-lasting, nothing beats concrete wheel stops. Plus, if you’re worried about someone stealing them, don’t be. These wheel stops aren’t going anywhere. Additionally, concrete door stops are one of the more affordable options, too. These are actually less pricey than our other options. Should you choose to get concrete wheel stops, our team can come out to your facility and install them in a safe, efficient manner.

Rubber Wheel Stops

Wheel stops to fit your aesthetic – that’s what rubber wheel stops can do. They can actually be purchased in multiple colors, so you can make them to fit your style and your lot. Additionally, they’re good for the environment – all of the rubber is recycled. They may not be as durable as the concrete stops, but they won’t chip or break, either. These are durable in their own way.

The Right Wheel Stop for You

It’s entirely possible that you read to this point of the page and aren’t sure which wheel stops are right for you. That’s perfectly, completely understandable. We’re always glad to talk to prospective customers about picking the right wheel stops for them. You can get a free estimate at our site or give us a call at (877) 908-7987.
