How to Prepare to Build a New Parking Lot on Your Property

 As your business begins to grow, you will likely need to provide more parking for your potential clients. In many cases this will mean building a new parking lot on your property to accommodate your growing customer base. Most business owners have never built a parking lot before, so it’s helpful to know the basics before you get started.

 

Determine the Size Needed

The first thing you need to do to build an appropriate parking lot is to make sure that it is the right size. You want your parking lot to be big enough to accommodate your clients, but you also want to make sure that you can beautify your property as well. This means leaving space for grassy dividers and small trees to help make your parking lot more inviting. It’s also important to consider how many disabled parking spots you need to meet local requirements and provide accessible parking for your clients with disabilities.

 

Start Laying Material

Once you’ve finished determining the size of your lot and planning it out, it is time to get down to the actual work of building. You want to prepare the area first so it is smooth and will accept the parking lot material when it is laid. Asphalt is an affordable option for parking lots that can be installed quickly and easily. You can also use concrete for your parking lot if you feel that that would work better for your particular needs. It really just comes down to choosing the best material for your maintenance goals and budget and making sure it is properly laid.

 

Painting

To ensure your parking lot is used appropriately, it’s important to paint it. This means painting lines dividing parking spots and painting directional arrows that will help the flow of traffic within your lot. Bright yellow paint is a good option since it is easily visible, and people recognize it as a color that demonstrates the rules of the lot. You may also want to put up signage to regulate parking and ensure that the lot is used correctly.

 

Your parking lot is part of the first impression your business will make on clients. So, it is very important that your new lot look good and function as well as possible. The more you do to make your parking lot look and work great, the better it will be for you and your clients.
