Lot problems a concrete parking lot fixes

We build concrete parking lots in Rock Springs and Green River, and these problems get worse every season that trucks and standing water keep working on them.

  • Ruts where trucks turn

    Gravel and worn asphalt shove and rut where vehicles turn and brake. Concrete holds its shape under that turning traffic, so the lanes stay smooth.

  • Puddles that won't drain

    Water sitting in low spots softens the ground under it and turns to ice in cold weather. Concrete sheds water on a gentle slope, so we don't need steep grading.

  • Dumpster pad breaking up

    A garbage truck sets its full weight on the same spot every week, and a thin pad cracks under it. We build that area heavier and plan the truck's approach.

  • Patches on top of patches

    A lot that needs new patches every spring keeps costing you without getting any better. A new concrete lot on a packed base needs only simple upkeep.

Should you patch the old lot or build new?

A patch works when the damage is spotty and the ground under it is sound, but widespread failure calls for a new lot. A settled building slab nearby is foundation raising, a separate job.

  • A patch is enough when:

    • Damage is in a few spots
    • The base underneath is still firm
    • Water drains where it should
    • The layout still fits your traffic
    • Trucks aren't rutting the turns
  • A new lot makes sense when:

    • Ruts and potholes keep coming back
    • Water pools across wide areas
    • The base has failed in many places
    • You need more spaces or a new layout
    • Trucks or dumpsters use it every day
    • You want a surface built to last

    A site visit set

  2. I walk the site

    I come out myself, look at the ground and how traffic moves, and we talk through spaces, truck routes, dumpster access and the best season to pour.

    A layout we agree on

  3. Your written estimate

    You get a written estimate that spells out the lot we talked through, so you know what's being built before anything gets dug.

    A written estimate

  4. Permits and prep

    If the job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork with the city and start once it's issued. We're licensed and fully insured for the work.

    Permit in hand

  5. Pour, cure and clean-up

    On pour day the base, forms and steel are checked before the trucks arrive. Then the concrete sets the pace for curing, the wait before traffic, and we clean up.

    A finished lot

What concrete parking lot building includes

  1. Layout on paper first

    We draw spaces, drive lanes, truck routes and dumpster access before digging, because moving a lane later means moving concrete.

  2. Dug-out, packed base

    Our crew digs out soft ground and packs the subgrade, the ground under the slab, so it doesn't settle with the dirt.

  3. Grading for drainage

    We set the slope so water runs off the lot and away from your buildings, not toward a door.

  4. Heavier sections for trucks

    Entrances and dumpster pads are built for heavier loads, with rebar, steel that keeps cracks tight, where the plan calls for it.

  5. Footings for poles

    Light poles, bollards and sign posts sit on concrete footings set as part of the lot.

  6. Joints and broom finish

    We cut control joints on time so cracks follow lines we chose, then broom the top into a texture that gives tires grip.

What shapes the cost of a concrete lot?

Size sets the starting point, and the ground underneath moves the price most after that. Tearing out old asphalt or gravel, digging out soft spots and bringing in base all add to the job. Entrances and dumpster pads built for heavy trucks cost more than plain stalls, and a flat site takes more grading work so the water has somewhere to go.

When budgets get tight, the base is the first thing people want to cut, because nobody sees it on day one. I won't cut it, since a lot that settles with the dirt costs more to fix than the base ever did. The schedule turns on permits, weather and curing, and the written estimate from my site visit gives you your own figure.

Why Rock Springs owners call us for their lots

I spent my twenties on restaurant lines before I picked up a trowel, and the kitchen taught me that the cook who's ready before service has a calm night. A lot works the same way. We started this business in 2017, and I'd rather get your layout right on paper, from truck routes to accessible spaces, than fix it in concrete.

I come out to every job, and I'm on site with our crew when we pour. We'll talk through the best season for your lot, and if the weather turns, I'll move the pour date rather than rush it. Call (307) 209-5832 or use the form below to get started.

Parking lot questions we hear

How much does a concrete parking lot cost in Rock Springs, WY?

The price depends on the lot's size, the ground under it and how heavy the traffic is, so I give you a figure after walking the site. The base work and any old surface that has to come out usually make the biggest difference. Call (307) 209-5832 to set up the visit.

How long does a concrete parking lot last?

Concrete parking lots typically last 30 years or more, going by a long-standing national guide on building them, and the upkeep is fairly simple. A packed base and joints cut on time give your lot the best chance of reaching that kind of life.

Can you pour a concrete parking lot in winter in Wyoming?

A winter pour can work, but only with protection from freezing. Fresh concrete freezes if it drops below about 25°F and can lose more than half its strength, so it has to be kept from freezing until about two days after the pour. An air-entrained mix, with tiny air bubbles that relieve the pressure of freezing, helps the finished slab too, and I'd still rather move a date than pour into bad weather.

What is the best time of year to build a concrete parking lot?

Spring or summer is usually best if you plan to use deicers, because those pours get drying time as they age, while fall pours often don't dry out enough before deicing starts. Industry guidance also says to skip deicers the lot's first winter and use them in moderate amounts after that.

When does a parking lot need ADA accessible spaces?

When a business, non-profit or state or local government provides a parking lot, federal guidance says it has to include accessible spaces that meet the Americans with Disabilities Act. The count is figured for each lot, and one in six accessible spaces, but always at least one, must be van accessible. Resurfacing, resealing or adding spaces counts as an alteration that needs them too, while pothole repair or patching doesn't unless it affects how the lot can be used.

How do I know if I need a Wyoming storm water permit for a parking lot?

The state's storm water permits come into play when construction disturbs one acre or more of ground. The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality has a small permit for at least one acre but under five, and a large one for five acres or more. A lot under one acre can still fall under it when it's one phase of a bigger plan that will disturb one to five acres in all, so I'll go over how much ground your job disturbs at the site visit.
