The Advantages of Ready-Mix Concrete Parking Lots
May 6, 2020
Around the country, the first interaction customers have with a business is in the parking lot. Parking lots make an impression -- positive or negative -- and can influence the purchasing behavior of customers if the curb appeal is particularly bleak. Though it may not be intuitive, investing in the longevity, strength and aesthetic of a parking lot should be prioritized alongside the functionality and look of a business.
County Materials’ ready-mix concrete provides a long-lasting, durable, clean and low maintenance material for parking lots. With one of the lowest total ownership costs, ready-mix parking lots give customers a smooth and comfortable driving experience without the need for consistent re-stripping, resurfacing or loss of business or accessibility to complete upkeep.
Unlike lower cost alternative materials, concrete parking lots stand up to daily traffic, do not rut, and actually strengthen over time. The durable concrete surface allows for a more even spread of heavy traffic load, keeping pressure on the subgrade low. Concrete has a bright reflective surface and can provide up to 30% reduction in parking lot light requirements.
Because of concrete’s natural skid resistance and durability, concrete parking lots are less likely to develop severe potholes, ruts or divots, which leads to less water pooling and fewer ice patches. This ensures the risk of pedestrian injuries or car accidents remains low.
Other parking lot materials may offer a lower initial installation cost. However, because of the overall lifecycle, ready-mix parking lots provide customers an incredible ROI. No other paving material provides the strength and durability of concrete when standing up to truck and heavy vehicular traffic, which means concrete parking lots last longer, and keep their aesthetic value over time.
County Materials’ ready-mix helps business owners invest in the longevity of their parking lots and outdoor spaces. Read more about the advantages of ready-mix concrete on the Wisconsin Ready-mixed Concrete Association website (https://wrmca.com/industry/parking-lots/).
