Despite the more frequent traffic these lots can endure, there are ways you can maintain your parking lot. 

Here are five tips for how to maintain a commercial parking lot.

When you think curb appeal, your landscaping, house style, and front door might be what spring to mind.

But your driveway makes up a significant amount of what people see when they look at your house. Don’t forget to consider it as well.

A good driveway should be durable and blend with the aesthetic of your home. If you’ve been thinking it's time for a redo or upgrade, keep in mind that asphalt is one of the most popular residential paving choices in Canada for many reasons.

Are you looking to boost the curb appeal of your home without shelling out thousands of dollars?

One of the most commonly overlooked parts of curb appeal is the appearance of a driveway. Not many homeowners think about investing in residential paving to spruce up the curb appeal of their home. However, if your driveway is cracked, has potholes, or has drainage issues, replacing your driveway may do much more than boosting your home’s curb appeal.

The choice between driveway resurfacing and replacement is often a tough one. Both procedures provide outcomes that are equally visually appealing, which is one of the main driving factors for undertaking either of these projects. The choice ultimately depends on the age of the pavement, the degree of damage it has sustained and how much you are willing to spend to fix it.
