Asphalt Coatings Company Patches the Parking Lots at The Crossing Apartments in Denver, Colorado

Apartment parking lots take a steady beating. Residents come and go at all hours, trash trucks circle the property, and fire lanes have to stay usable. At The Crossing Apartments on Albrook Drive in northeast Denver, Asphalt Coatings Company patched the parking lots over two days in a row, replacing broken pavement from the curbs to the middle of the drive aisles.

Asphalt Coatings Company placed asphalt patches along fire lane curbs, landscaped islands, stall rows and drive aisles at The Crossing Apartments.

Two Days of Asphalt Patching at The Crossing

Asphalt Coatings Company completed the asphalt patching at The Crossing Apartments over two consecutive days. On the first day, the crew worked along the curbs and around the islands. On the second day, the crew moved to the drive aisles and the fenced edge of the lot.

The patches reach from the fire lane curbs and landscaped islands to the stall rows and the edge of the property. Some are simple rectangles. Others step around older repairs to take in the whole damaged area, so the new asphalt covers the full extent of the failed pavement rather than just the worst spot.

Patching Along Fire Lane Curbs

Asphalt Coatings Company patched pavement along the red fire lane curbs at The Crossing Apartments. Patches run tight to those curbs, including the stretch beside the trash bins.

Areas next to curbs and trash enclosures often see turning traffic and heavy service vehicles. Placing new asphalt right up to the curb line restores a continuous surface where those vehicles stop and turn.

Around the Islands and Through the Stall Rows

Asphalt Coatings Company repaired asphalt around landscaped islands at The Crossing Apartments. At the rock-filled islands, the new asphalt meets the island curb.

In the parking areas, larger L-shaped and stepped patches cross whole rows of stalls. These shapes follow the damage on the ground, which is why they are not all neat rectangles.

Where the New Asphalt Went

Rolling Each Fresh Patch

Asphalt Coatings Company compacts asphalt patches with a double-drum roller. A small double-drum roller worked alongside the crew to compact each fresh patch at The Crossing Apartments.

On the first day, the roller sat beside the patches by the islands and the curbs. On the second, it rode on the trailer between areas as the crew moved through the aisles. Compaction is what turns loose hot asphalt into a firm, durable repair that holds up under resident traffic.

Why Apartment Communities Patch Before Pavement Spreads

Asphalt Coatings Company provides asphalt patching for apartment communities across Denver. Broken pavement in a lot tends to grow as traffic and weather work on its edges. Replacing failed sections with new asphalt, compacted in place, gives residents a smoother surface and gives managers a sound base for later maintenance such as sealcoating and striping.

A two-day schedule, as at The Crossing, also lets a community keep parts of the lot open while the crew works in another area.
