How often should a parking lot be maintained?
Inspect asphalt parking lots at least once a year, fill cracks annually or as they appear, sealcoat about every 2 to 4 years depending on traffic and sun, restripe when lines fade, and patch potholes promptly. Planning these steps usually costs less than waiting for major repairs or full replacement.
