What Our Clients Say
Built for the Demands of Commercial Properties
Commercial asphalt takes a different kind of beating than a residential driveway, daily traffic from cars, delivery trucks, and fleet vehicles; constant turning and braking near entrances; and standing water from larger paved areas that aren’t graded correctly. A commercial paving job has to be engineered for that load from day one, not patched together after the fact.
Driveway Specialists builds commercial pavement to commercial standards: thicker asphalt sections, properly compacted base material rated for heavier loads, and grading designed to move water away from buildings, dumpsters, and entrances. The result is a surface that holds up under daily wear and reduces the long-term cost of repairs, potholes, and resurfacing.
What commercial paving from Driveway Specialists includes:
- Parking lot paving, repaving, and resurfacing
- Access roads and private lane paving
- Loading dock and delivery area paving
- Drainage grading to prevent pooling and ice buildup
- Asphalt thickness engineered for vehicle and truck traffic
- Curbing, edging, and pavement transitions
- Sealcoating and striping coordination (lines, ADA spaces, arrows)

Our Commercial Paving Process
Step 1 - Site Walkthrough and Free Estimate
We assess your lot, drainage, current pavement condition, traffic patterns, and any special access requirements. You receive a detailed, written proposal at no cost.
Step 2 - Scheduling Around Your Operations
For active businesses, we plan work in phases or off-hours where possible, so your property stays accessible to tenants, customers, or staff during the project.
Step 3 - Demolition and Site Prep
We remove existing damaged asphalt, correct grading issues, and prepare the sub-base to support commercial-grade traffic loads.
Step 4 - Base Installation and Compaction
A properly compacted gravel base is critical for commercial lots. We install and compact base material to specifications appropriate for the expected vehicle weight and traffic volume.
Step 5 - Asphalt Paving
Hot-mix asphalt is installed and compacted using commercial paving equipment for a smooth, durable, and uniformly graded surface.
Step 6 - Finishing Details
We handle curbing, drain tie-ins, and pavement edges, and coordinate striping, ADA-compliant accessible parking markings, and signage placement as needed.
What Does Commercial Paving Cost?
Commercial paving costs vary significantly based on the size of the area, current condition of the existing pavement, drainage requirements, base depth needed for expected traffic loads, and site accessibility for equipment.
Because commercial projects range from small private lanes to multi-acre parking lots, pricing is determined on a per-project basis after an on-site evaluation. As a general reference, commercial asphalt paving in the Greater Boston area typically runs from $4 to $8+ per square foot depending on scope, with full lot reconstructions on the higher end of that range.

FAQs
What is the difference between commercial and residential paving?
Commercial paving is built to handle heavier, more frequent traffic, including delivery trucks and fleet vehicles, which requires a thicker asphalt layer and a more heavily compacted base than a residential driveway. Commercial projects also often involve drainage design, striping, and ADA-compliant accessible parking layouts.
Can you pave our parking lot without shutting down our business?
In most cases, yes. We work with property managers and business owners to phase projects, schedule work during off-hours, or section off areas so the rest of the lot remains accessible during construction.
How thick should commercial asphalt be?
Commercial asphalt typically requires a thicker section than residential driveways — often 3 to 4 inches or more depending on expected traffic, with a correspondingly deeper compacted base. The right specification depends on your site’s traffic volume and vehicle types, which we assess during the estimate.
Do you handle striping and ADA-compliant parking spaces?
Yes. We coordinate pavement markings, including standard parking lines, fire lanes, directional arrows, and ADA-compliant accessible spaces, as part of commercial projects.
How long does a commercial paving project take?
Timelines depend on the size of the lot and scope of work. Smaller lots or access roads may take a few days, while larger parking lot reconstructions can take longer. We provide a project timeline as part of your written estimate.
Do you offer maintenance plans for commercial properties?
Yes. We offer sealcoating and ongoing maintenance services to help extend the life of commercial pavement and reduce long-term repair costs. Ask about a maintenance plan during your estimate.
