What Causes Cracks in Parking Lots?
- Minor Cracks less than ½ inch wide are due to heavy vehicle traffic, water infiltration, improper compaction at install and advanced age.
- Large Cracks develop due to ignored minor cracks because of rainwater absorption, gravel subbase failure due to poor drainage, tree roots or passage of a heavy vehicle like a Garbage truck.
Wilson NC Asphalt Parking Lot Crack Repair
Method of Crack Repair differs in warm weather versus cold.
- Crack Repairs in cold weather uses a cold patch compound straight from container. Most often, this is a temporary fix till the climate warms up.
- Hot Rubberized crack sealers are used at temperatures above 50 degrees.
- Infrared light Patch: An Infrared light tool heats the damaged asphalt area to a molten consistency. Next, the malleable hot asphalt and additional repair hot asphalt patching mix is smoothly compacted over the damage and left to cool. The great thing about this process- it hardens without patch lines so you can't easily tell if a repair was made. However, this method is also the costliest.
Successful Parking Lot Pothole Repair
Potholes are most often the end result of ignored cracks. Rain water falls into asphalt pavement cracks and pools until cold weather freezes it into ice crystals forcing the crack to expand further into the pavement. The weather cycles from hot to cold and so in time the damage increases. Potholes, also begin beneath the pavement due to careless or inexperienced land grading during the install. Development grading should flow water off the parking lot into designed drainage like a sewer or drainage field. Otherwise, water pools on the pavement eventually making its way into the gravel subbase to then cause a washout that collapses the pavement above.
Potholes require a deep patch repair for a long-lasting fix which means also repairing the gravel subbase back into strong supportive base. Otherwise, the pothole shortly appears again because the supportive base isn't there. Wilson NC Asphalt Paving follows asphalt industry protocol to repair potholes.

The Best Asphalt Parking Lot Install
Parking Lots are essential to the health of our modern economy. They help us to easily bring goods home or obtain emergency medical services quickly. We’ve all driven in badly designed lots whose lanes abruptly end causing drivers to back up, confusing directional signage and afterwards we tend to avoid them- usually another provider is just down the road.
The best Parking Lot provides a paved area that the driving public easily maneuvers, quickly finds a parking spot and walks in relative safety to their building’s destination. Another important consideration, maximize the number of parking spots.

- Required Permits: Your parking lot design must be in compliance with all Government codes before construction. Code permits must be secured by submitting a blueprint design that specifies drainage plans, foundation specifics, quality of asphalt mix, asphalt layer thickness, designation of emergency access, handicap spaces and striping (pavement marking). The best professional asphalt paving contractor designs a parking lot in accordance with Government requirements yet follows your specifications.
- Drainage: The number one reason Parking Lots prematurely fail is insufficient Drainage. It can’t be stressed enough that grading of a parking lot must be designed to sweep rain water away from its surface including during heavy rains. Drainage can take the form of underground catch basins, drainage ponds or culverts running along the parking lot edges.
- Traffic Load: Parking lots are designed to carry traffic loads equal to what’s expected. Shopping Malls, Medical Campuses, Office Complexes and home improvement centers. However, it should be anticipated that most will receive some heavy truck traffic such as garbage and delivery trucks. A Garbage truck can weigh as much as 8,000 pounds. Design should consider stronger pavement upgrades to support these heavy vehicles where they cross the pavement.
- Special ADA Needs: Small parking lots are required to have 1 handicap accessible space for every 25 to 50 spaces. Large parking lots with more than 1000 parking spaces require 20 handicap accessible spaces plus 1 more for each additional 100 spaces. Generally, one out of every 8 handicap accessible spaces 1 must be a Van accessible space. Wilson NC Asphalt Paving strictly follows ADA code requirements for each type of parking lot so no worries over violations.
Wilson, NC Parking Lot Seal Coating Benefits
Asphalt pavement is a combination of 5 % Asphalt binder, sometimes called liquid asphalt, and 95% crushed rock and sand together. Asphalt binder is the semisolid product remaining after distilling fuel from oil that when heated to a molten state becomes the glue that binds the pavement mix when cooled. Asphalt is a low maintenance and durable pavement that functions well for many years, usually anywhere from 10 to 20 depending on climate extremes. However, Asphalt pavement exposed to the elements begins to slowly decay (oxidation) but periodic seal coating and diligent crack repair will slow this decay down to a crawl. This worthy maintenance increases the pavement lifespan by many years- could even double it.
A sealcoat contains anti-oxidation additives to provide a shield against common oxidizers, sun, heat, rain, sleet, snow and wind. It will also seal the small cracks and imperfections in your driveway’s pavement. Sealing minor cracks prevents moisture from passing into the pavement layer and eventually the gravel subbase. During cold weather, Moisture in a gravel subbase expands as it freezes into ice crystals and destroys the pavement- eventually causing a pothole.
Seal Coating waterproofs the asphalt pavement surface making it easier to clean and also transforms a faded grey pavement back into a handsome deep black color. The Asphalt Paving industry suggest seal coating the pavement every 2 to 3 years- this will depend in part on how rough the climate has been, quality of sealant and how much action the driveway gets.
There are several grades of Sealants and some formulas are designed for particular climates. Wilson, NC Paving Pros always advises the Sealant formulation for your driveway that will perform well over the longest period of time at the best price.

Wilson, NC Economic Development
Wilson County maintains a mild humid climate nestled within sandy loamy soil (mix of sand, silt and clay) which provides good drainage. This is an excellent environment for year after year bumper Tobacco crops. Tobacco, by 1920, had mostly replaced cotton as the main cash crop in the county and remained so late into the 1900’s.
After World War 2, nationwide interstate highway systems reached completion in Wilson County which encouraged new industries of furniture making, pharmaceuticals, automotive parts, building supplies and more educational opportunities. Agricultural products are still very strong in the area. The crops important today are sweet potatoes, soybeans, corn and cotton but Tobacco is still the top grossing crop for the state.
Wilson, NC is the birthplace of BB&T (Branch Banking and Trust Corporation) and is still a very successful company. However, they have since relocated their headquarters in nearby Winston-Salem North Carolina.

Wilson, NC Attractions Outdoors, Folksy Art
Wilson established in the center of Old Downtown the massive Whirligig sculptures of a Farm machinery repairman, Vollis Simpson who created giant sculptures made from recycled industrial parts that were designed to be a moving work of whimsical art. Soon locals in droves lined up to see the giant kinetic artistic works located on his family’s farm.
Many years later his fame grew as did the number of sculptures. However, while he advanced in age his health decline and he could no long preform the regular maintence required to keep them running well. They have to be greased often and repainted to survive the North Carolina elements of sun, rain, snow and windy hurricanes. Rather than let these clever whimsical sculptures decay money from art grants to move the sculptures downtown, build a park to display them and pay for the proper maintence.
Some of the sculptures he created are very large one titled “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” is 55 feet tall by 45-foot-wide and is sent out to other museums to enable many more people to see it. His sculptures are still being restored but, in the end, they will number 30- all to be loving displayed in the downtown park.
