What is Commercial Asphalt Paving?
Commercial asphalt paving refers to the design, preparation, and installation of asphalt surfaces for business and municipal properties. This includes:
-
Parking lots
-
Private roads
-
Drive lanes
-
Loading docks
-
Walkways and shoulders
-
Paved areas for retail, industrial, or institutional use
We don’t just lay blacktop. We deliver strong, smooth, and properly graded pavement built to handle heavy traffic, Massachusetts weather, and years of daily use.
Our Step-by-Step Process: What You Can Expect from TDS Asphalt
We know that paving is an investment, and we don’t take your trust lightly. Here’s what it’s like to work with TDS Asphalt:
1. Initial Consultation and Site Evaluation
We meet you on-site to understand the scope of the project and listen to your needs. We’ll assess the current surface, drainage, subgrade, and any unique challenges. This visit allows us to give you a detailed and honest estimate—no surprises down the road.
2. Custom Paving Plan
Based on your business goals and the condition of the site, we’ll recommend a paving plan tailored to your budget and expected traffic. We’ll talk you through thickness options, grading, and water runoff—all in plain English. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting.
3. Preparation & Grading
A solid base is everything. We remove any damaged asphalt, excavate if needed, and ensure proper grading for drainage. Water is asphalt’s enemy, so we make sure it flows away from your building and foundation.
4. Binder Course Installation
For heavier-use areas, we install a binder course—a strong, thick layer beneath the topcoat that adds durability and strength. This is a step some companies skip, but we don’t cut corners.
5. Top Layer Paving
We lay premium-grade hot mix asphalt using professional-grade equipment. Then we compact it smoothly and evenly for a clean finish that’s ready for striping and sealcoating.
6. Final Touches and Striping
From parking stall lines to ADA-compliant markings, we handle all layout and striping. You’ll get a surface that’s not only functional but also sharp-looking and safe.
7. Clean-Up and Walkthrough
Before we leave, we do a full site cleanup and a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything looks perfect. We’ll also give you a few tips for care and maintenance so your new asphalt stays looking great for years.
What Makes TDS Asphalt Different?
There are plenty of asphalt companies in Massachusetts. But not all of them care like we do. Here’s what sets us apart:
Old-School Craftsmanship
We grew up in this trade, learning how to do it the right way—not the quick way. Every member of our crew takes pride in a clean edge, a proper slope, and a tight finish. We treat your property like it’s our own.
Clear, Honest Communication
From the first call to the final walkthrough, we keep you informed. If something unexpected comes up, you’ll hear it from us right away—with solutions, not excuses. We’re not just showing up to pour blacktop; we’re building a relationship.
Real Experience You Can Count On
Our family has been paving in Massachusetts for years. We know how to work with local conditions—cold winters, hot summers, and everything in between. Whether it’s managing frost heave or stormwater runoff, we’ve seen it all—and we know how to build for it.
Local and Family-Owned
TDS Asphalt isn’t a big national company. We’re based right here in Massachusetts, and we take pride in keeping our work local. When you support us, you support a family and a crew who live and work in the same communities you do.
Maintenance Tips to Extend the Life of Your Asphalt
We want your new pavement to last. Here’s how you can help keep it in top shape:
-
Sealcoat Every 2–3 Years: This protective coating shields against weather and wear.
-
Clean Debris and Oil Spots: Regular cleaning prevents staining and erosion.
-
Address Cracks Quickly: Small cracks grow fast. Call us to patch them before they turn into potholes.
-
Snow Removal Caution: Use plows with rubber blades or avoid digging too deep with metal ones to avoid gouging.
-
Avoid Heavy Loads Early: Give your new asphalt at least 24–48 hours before driving on it—longer for heavy trucks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does commercial asphalt paving take?
It depends on the size of the project, but most commercial parking lots can be completed in 1–3 days. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start and work to minimize disruptions to your business.
How long before I can use the new asphalt surface?
For light foot traffic, about 24 hours. For vehicle traffic, we recommend waiting 48–72 hours to allow proper curing, especially in warmer months.
How long does a commercial asphalt lot last?
With proper maintenance, a commercial asphalt parking lot can last 15–25 years. Regular sealcoating and crack filling can extend its lifespan.
Will you handle permits and drainage concerns?
Yes. We help guide you through any necessary permits, and we always design with proper drainage in mind. Massachusetts weather can be tough, and drainage is critical to long-term performance.
What makes asphalt better than concrete for commercial paving?
Asphalt is more cost-effective, faster to install, and easier to repair. It also holds up well in freeze-thaw cycles, which makes it ideal for Massachusetts’ changing seasons.
