Established lots reaching the end of their first life
Taylorsville built out earlier than the newer southwest suburbs, so a lot of its commercial property has been in place for decades. The retail and service lots along Redwood Road and the 4700 and 5400 South corridors have carried traffic for a long time, and many are now at or past the point where a resurfacing or full repave makes sense. The question on most of these lots is not whether to do work but which kind.
We connect retail landlords, office property managers, and business owners with vetted Utah paving contractors. Whether your lot needs a resurfacing, a full repave, or ADA upgrades, your local paving pro measures it and gives you a written estimate before any work begins.
Overlay or full repave: what the base tells you
On an older Taylorsville lot, the base is the deciding factor. Decades of traffic, snowplowing, and freeze-thaw either leave a base that is still sound or one that has started to fail. If the base holds, a resurfacing or overlay restores the lot for far less than replacement. If the base is failing, with rutting, alligator cracking, and recurring potholes, an overlay only hides it and a full repave is the real fix.
A good crew checks the base before quoting rather than guessing from the surface. Paying for a resurfacing over a dead base is the most common way property owners waste money, and a proper assessment avoids it.
- Base check before any quote
- Resurfacing or overlay when the base is sound
- Full repave when the base has failed
- Crack sealing and drainage repair built in
What it costs
Resurfacing on a sound base typically runs about $2 to $4 per square foot in Taylorsville. A new lot or full replacement with grading and base runs about $4 to $7 per square foot, and a tear-out costs more again because the old asphalt has to be removed and hauled off. Larger lots usually price lower per foot.
These are typical 2026 ranges for budgeting, not quotes. Once a lot is restored, the way to protect the investment is maintenance: crack seal yearly and sealcoat every couple of years. That keeps the new surface from following the old one into early failure and pushes the next major job to the end of a 20 to 25 year cycle.
Striping, ADA, and staying open
A repave resets the lot's layout. Older lots often have striping that has been redone over old lines and ADA spaces that no longer meet current requirements. A fresh surface lets the crew lay out compliant accessible stalls, access aisles, ramps, fire lanes, and traffic flow cleanly in one pass.
To keep your business running, the work is phased in sections or scheduled for off-hours so customers always have parking. Striping goes back down once the asphalt has cured enough to mark, and your paving pro gives you the reopen dates up front.
Common Questions
+How much does parking lot paving cost in Taylorsville?
Resurfacing on a sound base typically runs about $2 to $4 per square foot, and a full replacement with grading and base runs about $4 to $7 per square foot. A tear-out costs more. These are typical 2026 ranges to help you budget, not quotes. A local paving pro measures the lot and prices the real scope.
+My lot is old. Can it be resurfaced or does it need full replacement?
It depends on the base. If the base is still sound after decades of use, a resurfacing restores the lot cheaply. If the base has failed, with rutting and alligator cracking, an overlay only hides it and a full repave is the real fix. A crew checks the base before quoting so you do not pay to pave over a dead base.
+What is alligator cracking and does it mean my lot is done?
Alligator cracking is the interconnected, scaly pattern that shows up when the base underneath has failed. It usually means a simple overlay will not hold and the area needs full-depth repair or replacement. A crew can tell you whether it is localized or lot-wide, which changes the fix and the cost.
+Will a repave fix our outdated ADA spaces?
Yes. Older lots often have accessible stalls that no longer meet current requirements. With the asphalt fresh, the crew brings stalls, access aisles, and ramps up to current ADA code for count, width, and slope, and stripes the compliant layout in the same pass.
+Can you repave without closing my business?
Yes. The crews we work with phase the work in sections so customers always have parking, or run it off-hours. Striping goes back down after the asphalt cures. Your paving pro lays out the section plan and reopen dates before any work starts.
