Winter in Ontario is tough on asphalt surfaces. With months of snow, ice, and freezing temperatures behind us, now is the perfect time to inspect your parking lot and address the damage left behind. As the snow melts away, fading lines, widening cracks, and new potholes become more visible—and if left untreated, these issues can quickly worsen. Proper maintenance in early spring can extend the life of your asphalt, enhance safety, and save you money in costly repairs down the road.

​

Why Spring Parking Lot Maintenance is Essential?

​

1. Faded Line Markings Reduce Safety & Efficiency

Snowplows, salt, and ice wear down your parking lot’s line markings, making spaces, crosswalks, and directional arrows difficult to see. Fresh, crisp lines help:
✅ Improve traffic flow & organization
✅ Reduce confusion & congestion in busy lots
✅ Ensure compliance with accessibility and fire lane regulations

​

2. Crack Sealing Prevents Costly Repairs

Small cracks may seem minor, but Ontario’s freeze-thaw cycles cause water to seep in, expand, and turn cracks into potholes. Timely rubberized crack sealing:
✅ Prevents cracks from worsening
✅ Stops water from eroding the asphalt base
✅ Extends the lifespan of your parking lot

​

3. Pothole Repair Eliminates Safety Hazards

Potholes pose risks to both vehicles and pedestrians. Uneven surfaces can lead to accidents, damage to tires, and costly liabilities for property owners. Fixing potholes early in the season helps:
✅ Reduce vehicle damage claims
✅ Create a smooth, professional-looking surface
✅ Improve the overall curb appeal of your business
