Concrete Parking Lots Akron Ohio
PMC Concrete designs and builds durable, low-maintenance concrete parking lots for retail, office, medical, industrial, and multifamily sites across Cuyahoga Falls, Summit County, and the greater Akron–Cleveland area. We engineer pavements to handle daily traffic, delivery trucks, snowplows, and Northeast Ohio’s freeze–thaw cycles—delivering clean lines, proper drainage, and long service life. From new construction to tear-out-and-replace, our lots are built to code, to spec, and to perform.
Concrete Parking Lot Contractors Akron Ohio
As a licensed, insured contractor, PMC Concrete integrates proven field practices with disciplined project management to keep your schedule and budget on track. We coordinate with your civil engineer and GC, review soils and drainage, and select pavement thickness, reinforcement, and jointing based on expected loads. Our crews install stable bases, set accurate grades, use air-entrained, spec-compliant mixes, place dowel baskets at construction joints, and saw-cut on time to control cracking. Expect clear phasing, clean job sites, traffic control for active properties, and inspection-ready documentation aligned with ACI and applicable ASTM standards.
Benefits of Concrete Parking Lots
Professionally designed and installed concrete lots deliver safer operation, lower lifecycle cost, and a better look for your property.
- Long-term durability: Proper thickness, base prep, and load transfer (dowels) resist rutting, shoving, and potholes—common failures in asphalt.
- Lower maintenance: No annual sealing or frequent overlays; joint sealing and periodic cleaning are typically all that’s needed.
- Climate resilience: Air-entrained mixes, correct curing, and sealed joints resist de-icing salts, moisture, and freeze–thaw damage in Northeast Ohio.
- Safer, brighter surfaces: High reflectance improves nighttime visibility and reduces lighting needs; broom finishes and additives enhance traction.
- Plow-friendly: Rigid surface stands up to snow removal without ruts; crisp curbs and islands maintain shape season after season.
- Stable grades and drainage: Proper slopes and inlets move water away from buildings and entrances, reducing slip hazards and subgrade damage.
- Professional appearance: Sharp edges, consistent joints, and long-lasting striping elevate curb appeal and tenant satisfaction.
- Sustainability options: Supplementary cementitious materials (e.g., slag fly ash blends) and light-colored surfaces can reduce heat island effects.
Concrete Parking Lot Install Process
Our process emphasizes planning, subgrade stability, joint control, and curing—so your lot opens on time and holds up to heavy use.
- Preconstruction and layout: Review plans and phasing; verify elevations, ADA routes, and drainage; coordinate traffic control and utility locates.
- Subgrade evaluation and stabilization: Proof-roll; undercut soft areas; install and compact aggregate base; add geogrid or underdrains where required.
- Forming, edges, and structures: Set forms/curbs to laser-verified grades; coordinate catch basins, trench drains, light pole bases, and island details.
- Reinforcement and load transfer: Install dowel baskets at construction joints; place rebar or welded wire reinforcement where specified; set isolation joints at structures.
- Concrete placement: Use approved mix (typically 4,000–5,000 psi with air entrainment); manage slump for placement; place, strike-off, and machine finish; verify flatness and cross slopes (e.g., 1–2% typical).
- Finishing and jointing: Apply uniform broom finish; saw-cut control joints at calculated spacing and within the proper time window; tool edges and seal early-entry cuts as specified.
- Curing and protection: Apply curing compound or wet cure per spec; protect from early traffic, freeze, and de-icing salts; install joint sealants after cure.
- Striping and accessories: After adequate cure, stripe stalls and markings, install ADA signage and truncated domes, place wheel stops or bollards as required.
- Closeout: Final walkthrough, punch list, documentation (mix tickets, test reports if required), maintenance guidance, and warranty details.
