At Brace Road Station in Cherry Hill, NJ, keeping the commercial parking lot in good shape isn’t just about curb appeal—it’s about safety, durability, and protecting long-term investment.
When the property manager contacted us at Associated Paving Contractors, Inc., they weren’t looking to repave the entire lot. They were looking for something smarter.
We delivered with a series of targeted, full-depth asphalt patch repairs that tackled the worst trouble spots without the cost of a full resurfacing.
Tackling Trouble Spots, Not the Whole Lot
From the start, our goal was clear: extend the lifespan of the existing pavement while addressing the most severe damage.
Like many aging commercial lots in South Jersey, the Brace Road Station lot had developed sunken areas and deep potholes—clear signs of structural failure beneath the surface.
Instead of blanketing the whole area with new asphalt, we used a more surgical approach.
We began by cutting clean, square and rectangular sections around the damaged areas. These full-depth patches allowed us to remove the failing base and replace it with new hot mix asphalt, ensuring each repair had the structural integrity to last.
It’s a precise process, but when done right, it blends function with form, delivering a smooth, stable surface that holds up under pressure.
Sealing the Deal—Literally
One of the key finishing touches on this project was the fresh sealant applied around the edges of each patch. You might notice the dark outline—it’s not just cosmetic. That’s a waterproof seal, often hot tar or crack filler, designed to prevent water from seeping into the seams between the old and new asphalt.
In climates like Cherry Hill, where freeze-thaw cycles wreak havoc on pavement, sealing these joints is critical. Without it, even well-executed parking lot repairs can fail prematurely.
With it, they last much longer—and look much better.
A Smart, Cost-Conscious Solution
This project is a great example of how targeted repairs can offer maximum impact without a maximum budget. Rather than repaving the entire lot, we focused on the problem areas and preserved the good pavement. It’s a strategy we often recommend for commercial properties across Camden County and the greater South Jersey area.
With the right combination of full-depth patching and edge sealing, the parking lot at Brace Road Station is now safer, more durable, and ready to withstand whatever New Jersey weather throws at it next.
