Cracked asphalt and crumbling edges weren’t the first thing visitors to Philadelphia Boulevard Plaza should see, but that’s exactly what was greeting them. As a high-traffic commercial center in the heart of Philadelphia, the plaza needed a parking lot that reflected the quality and professionalism of its tenants.
That’s where we came in.
At Associated Paving Contractors, Inc., we understand that a parking lot is more than a place to park. It’s part of your customer’s first impression.
When the management team at Philadelphia Boulevard Plaza contacted us for commercial parking lot patching, we knew this was about more than the usual asphalt paving. It was about restoring confidence in the property.
Tackling Trouble Zones Before They Spread
Philadelphia’s seasons can be brutal on pavement.
Freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat take a toll, and over time, even well-maintained lots begin to show their age. The plaza was experiencing a mix of potholes, worn patches, and failing joints—classic signs of localized asphalt fatigue.
Instead of opting for a full replacement, which can be costly and disruptive to tenants, the property owners made a smart choice: targeted patching. This strategic approach extends the lifespan of the surface without shutting down operations.
We walked the entire lot with the property manager, marking out each area that required attention. From surface-level cracks to deeper base issues, every spot told a story.
By addressing these now, we helped them avoid larger, more parking lot repairs down the line.
Smooth Execution, Minimal Disruption
In a busy plaza like this, timing is everything. We coordinated our work schedule around the tenants’ peak business hours, ensuring access remained open and customers weren’t inconvenienced.
Our team arrived early, worked efficiently, and maintained clear signage to keep traffic flowing. Each patched section was cleaned, cut, and filled with fresh hot-mix asphalt, compacted and blended seamlessly into the surrounding surface.
The result?
Strong, smooth sections that look good and perform even better.
By the end of the project, the most damaged parts of the lot had been transformed, and the entire surface looked more uniform and professional.
For customers and tenants alike, the improvement was immediate and noticeable.
