Parking Lot Construction
Commercial parking lots are more than just places to park - they're often a visitor's first impression of your property. As your general contractor for parking lot construction, we deliver complete solutions from subgrade preparation through final striping. Property owners and facility managers trust us for new construction, reconstruction, and major repairs.
Parking lot construction in North Texas must account for the region's clay soils, dramatic temperature swings, and increasingly intense rainfall events. Lots that fail prematurely almost always trace back to inadequate subgrade preparation, improper drainage, or concrete/asphalt mixes not suited for local conditions. We've rebuilt many parking lots that other contractors constructed poorly.
DeSoto Concrete Contractors provides comprehensive parking lot construction services - concrete, asphalt, or hybrid systems - with the turnkey project management that property owners expect from a general contractor. We handle everything from initial site assessment through final ADA signage installation.
Our parking lot construction process:
- Site evaluation - Assessing existing conditions, drainage patterns, soil characteristics, and traffic requirements
- Design coordination - Working with civil engineers on grading, drainage, and layout optimization
- Subgrade preparation - The critical step that determines long-term performance; we don't rush this phase
- Paving - Concrete or asphalt installation with proper compaction and finishing
- Drainage infrastructure - Catch basins, storm sewers, and surface drainage systems
- Striping and signage - ADA-compliant markings, traffic flow indicators, and parking space layout
For existing properties, we provide reconstruction services that address underlying issues, not just surface symptoms. If your lot keeps developing problems, we'll identify root causes and propose lasting solutions rather than repeated band-aid repairs.

Concrete or asphalt - which is better for commercial parking?
It depends on your priorities. Concrete has higher initial cost but longer life and lower maintenance. Asphalt costs less upfront but requires regular seal coating and earlier replacement. We can model total cost of ownership for your specific situation.
How do you handle parking lot construction at occupied properties?
We develop phased construction plans that maintain access and parking capacity throughout the project. This typically involves working in sections and providing temporary parking arrangements.
What causes parking lot failures in DFW?
Most failures trace to inadequate subgrade preparation, poor drainage, or material issues. We address all three systematically - proper soil treatment, engineered drainage, and appropriate paving materials for Texas conditions.
Do you handle ADA compliance for parking lots?
Yes. All our parking lot work meets current ADA requirements including proper accessible space quantities, dimensions, signage, and access aisle slopes. We stay current on code requirements.
