Article Check - How to Tell if Your Parking Lot or Driveway is in Trouble
The ‘S’ corporation is a dinosaur. It has been over-rated and overused as a ‘knee-jerk’ default entity choice when in fact its usefulness is limited to specific circumstances. Many well-meaning advisers have for years urged their clients to use the ‘S’ corporation based upon outdated case law or cocktail party conve

Have you ever hurt yourself? Did you end up with a scar? There are very few people in the world that have not had their fair share of bumps and bruises. Some of us have had much worse. The interesting thing about it is we are alive to tell about it.There is an old saying, "What does not kill you makes you str
Taking care of your parking lot or driveway involves a regular cycle of sealcoating, sealing cracks and, possibly, patching a few potholes. Maintenance should be performed approximately every 4 years.
Be careful when choosing the type of sealcoating to be done. Some contractors actually apply a "homemade" sealcoat produced in their own backyard. You are better off to use a product from a leading producer to assure a standard of quality to get the job done right.
There are also various methods of application for sealcoating. Unfortunately, many contractors have switched to the spray application for ease of work. But the spray application tends to go down very thin and won't acheive a proper seal, nor does it last very long. The "gravity-fed" application is far superior. The sealcoat is actually poured onto the asphalt surface and brushed to a smooth finish.
Plan your budget to take care of the regular cost of maintenance. Remember, once your parking lot or driveway is over 20/25 years old, you are probably going to have to finance the installation of a completely new surface.
Take 5 minutes to go outside to your parking lot or driveway and ask yourself the questions below. The result might surprise you:
The parking lot at my residence or business shows signs of…
Thin cracks, 1/4” or less in width?
Wide cracks, 1/4” or more in width?

Oxidation, the surface appears dry, exposed and unprotected?
Small potholes, 12" in diameter or less? Large potholes, larger than 12" in diameter?
