Private Roads
We pave private roads and development roads across the Lehighton area. Every job starts with the stone base, because the base carries the traffic.

NS Paving and Landscaping handles parking lot paving for businesses and new developments around Lehighton. We pave new lots and replace lots that have broken down. Our commercial work includes hotel and restaurant parking lots. Bigger paving jobs are the work we want most.
Commercial asphalt paving starts below the surface. The ground and the stone base carry the weight, and the slope sends water off the lot. As an asphalt paving contractor in Lehighton, we work across Carbon, Monroe, Northampton, Lehigh, Schuylkill and Luzerne Counties. When a development needs a road as well as a lot, we handle development road paving too.

A parking lot is built in layers. Topsoil comes off, and the ground below is compacted until it is firm. Soft or spongy spots get dug out and replaced. A compacted stone base goes on next, then the hot asphalt.
Thickness follows the traffic and the soil. Car stalls carry light loads, but delivery and garbage trucks put their weight on the entrances and the dumpster pad. A state asphalt association's design guide calls for extra thickness at spots like those, or the pavement can fail badly. We match the thickness to the traffic and the ground under each part of the lot.
Hot asphalt has to be rolled before it cools, so paving waits for dry, mild days. For Lehighton, NOAA puts the median last spring freeze at April 21 and the first fall freeze at October 23.
Water under a parking lot is trouble. NOAA's normals give Lehighton about 52 inches of precipitation a year and about 132 days that dip to freezing. The federal soil survey flags frost action as a limit for roads on every soil it maps around town. Poor drainage or the spring thaw can soften the base, and traffic then flexes the surface until it cracks.
Asphalt design guides call for at least 1.5 to 2 percent of slope so water runs off the lot. Under the federal ADA standards, accessible spaces and their aisles can slope no more than 1:48, about 2 percent. That leaves a narrow window, so the grade at those spaces is set in the base.
A new lot changes how rain leaves a property, and state law expects that runoff to be managed. Disturbing 5,000 square feet of ground or more calls for a written erosion and sediment control plan. An acre or more needs a construction stormwater permit, known as an NPDES permit. Around Lehighton, the Carbon County Conservation District is the local office for both, and we point you there early.
Start with the pattern of the cracks. Cracks that join into small blocks, like an alligator's back, come from repeated traffic loads, often over a weak base. The fix is to cut out that area, rebuild the ground under it and pave it back. Cracking across most of the lot calls for new paving strong enough to carry the traffic on its own.
Worn, faded asphalt over a sound base is a different job. An asphalt overlay puts a new layer over the old one, once weak spots are cut out and patched. Scattered holes in a solid lot call for pothole repair with hot asphalt patch. We look at the lot in person before we say which job it needs.
