Asphalt parking lots for retail centres, office complexes, industrial facilities, and multi-unit developments. Costs up to 50% less than concrete and is traffic-ready within 48 hours.
Tiger Paving builds and resurfaces asphalt parking lots for commercial properties across Calgary and Southern Alberta. Owners Dan and John manage every commercial project directly — from estimate through final inspection. Whether you're building a new 200-stall retail lot or resurfacing an aging warehouse pad, you'll have a single point of contact throughout the project.
Asphalt typically costs 30 to 50% less than concrete for equivalent square footage. For a 10,000 sq ft parking area, this can represent savings of $30,000 or more.
An asphalt parking lot can be open to vehicle traffic within 24 to 48 hours. Concrete requires a minimum 7-day cure. Less closure means less lost revenue.
Asphalt repairs — patching, crack filling, overlay resurfacing — cost a fraction of concrete repair work. Damaged sections can be cut out and replaced in hours, not days.
Asphalt flexes under freeze-thaw stress rather than fracturing. This is a critical advantage in Calgary, where ground temperatures cycle through freezing and thawing dozens of times per season.
Every parking lot project follows a structured sequence built on four decades of commercial paving experience.
We assess existing grades, drainage patterns, traffic flow, and load-bearing requirements. For properties with existing asphalt, we determine whether overlay or full removal is the right path.
We excavate to the required depth, install engineered granular base, and compact it to spec — typically 8 to 12 inches for commercial applications depending on expected traffic loads.
Hot-mix asphalt is laid in lifts using commercial-grade pavers. Commercial lots typically require 3 to 4 inches in two lifts (base lift + surface lift) for optimal load distribution.
We address transitions, curb tie-ins, drainage grates, and entry aprons. A final walkthrough with you confirms the job meets spec before we leave the site.

A new asphalt parking lot is a significant investment. Protecting it doesn't require major expense — it requires a maintenance schedule. Tiger Paving recommends a three-part approach for commercial surfaces:
Annual crack filling to prevent water infiltration before winter freeze cycles.
Sealcoating every 3 to 5 years to protect the surface from UV oxidation and petroleum spills.
Periodic patching of high-traffic or load-bearing areas showing early wear.
We offer standalone maintenance services for existing lots regardless of who installed them.
Commercial parking lot paving costs vary based on size, base requirements, and site conditions. Asphalt typically costs 30–50% less than concrete for the same area. Contact us for a detailed, no-obligation estimate.
With proper maintenance including regular sealcoating and crack filling, a commercial asphalt parking lot can last 20 to 30 years. Heavy-traffic areas may need resurfacing sooner.
In many cases, yes. We can phase the work to keep portions of your lot accessible. We'll coordinate timing and access with you during the planning stage.
