Hear from Our Customers
Your parking lot isn’t just where cars sit. It’s the first thing customers see when they pull up to your business. Cracked asphalt and faded lines send the wrong message before anyone walks through your door.
Quality commercial paving eliminates safety hazards that put you at risk. No more worrying about trip-and-fall lawsuits or vehicle damage from potholes. Your insurance company notices the difference too.
The right asphalt installation handles Florida’s brutal summers and heavy rains without breaking down. That means fewer emergency repairs, less downtime, and more money staying in your pocket where it belongs.
We’ve been handling commercial paving projects across Central Florida for years. We know what works in this climate and what doesn’t.
Based in Winter Garden, we understand the unique challenges Agricola businesses face. From phosphate-rich soil conditions to intense UV exposure, every project gets the right approach from day one.
Our team focuses on clear communication and realistic timelines. You’ll know exactly what’s happening and when, because surprises during paving projects cost everyone time and money.
First, we assess your existing surface and drainage. Many paving problems start with water that doesn’t flow where it should. We identify these issues before they become expensive mistakes.
Next comes site preparation. This means proper grading, addressing any soft spots in the subbase, and ensuring adequate compaction. Shortcuts here cause failures later, so we don’t take them.
Installation happens with modern equipment and materials designed for Florida conditions. We use polymer-modified mixes that flex with temperature changes instead of cracking. The final result is a surface that looks professional and handles heavy traffic without premature wear.

Every commercial paving project starts with proper planning. We coordinate with your schedule to minimize business disruption, often working nights or weekends when necessary.
Your new surface includes proper drainage design, ADA-compliant accessibility features, and striping that meets local requirements. We handle permits and inspections so you can focus on running your business.
Agricola’s location in Polk County means dealing with specific soil conditions and drainage challenges. Our local experience ensures your project accounts for these factors from the beginning, not as an afterthought when problems appear.
Most commercial paving projects take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. Smaller parking lots can often be completed in 2-3 days, while larger commercial properties may need a full week.
The timeline depends on several factors: existing surface condition, drainage requirements, and weather. We phase the work to keep your business accessible during construction. For example, we might pave half the lot first, then switch traffic to the new section while completing the remainder.
Weather delays are possible during Florida’s rainy season, but we monitor forecasts closely and adjust schedules accordingly. You’ll have realistic expectations from the start, not optimistic promises that lead to disappointment.
Poor drainage is the biggest killer of asphalt in Florida. Water that sits on or under the surface breaks down the binder that holds everything together. This creates soft spots, potholes, and eventual failure.
Inadequate base preparation also causes problems. If the subgrade isn’t properly compacted or contains organic material, the surface will settle unevenly. This creates low spots where water collects and accelerates deterioration.
Using the wrong asphalt mix for local conditions shortens lifespan significantly. Standard mixes that work fine up north can’t handle Florida’s extreme heat and UV exposure. We use polymer-modified materials specifically designed for this climate.
We plan every project around your operational needs. Most commercial paving can be phased so you never lose complete access to your property. We’ll work with you to identify the least disruptive schedule.
Night and weekend work is often possible for businesses that need daytime access. We have the equipment and crews to work efficiently during off-hours, though this may affect pricing due to premium labor rates.
Emergency access is always maintained. Fire lanes, delivery areas, and handicapped spaces get priority in our sequencing. We coordinate with local authorities when necessary to ensure compliance with safety requirements throughout the project.
Overlay means installing new asphalt over the existing surface after minor repairs. This works when the base is sound but the surface is worn or has minor cracking. It’s typically 30-50% less expensive than full replacement.
Full replacement involves removing the old asphalt completely and rebuilding from the base up. This is necessary when there are major structural problems, drainage issues, or extensive deterioration that overlay can’t fix.
The decision depends on your existing conditions and budget. We’ll do a thorough assessment and explain which approach makes sense for your situation. Sometimes spending more upfront for full replacement saves money over the long term by avoiding repeated repairs.
Light traffic can typically use new asphalt within 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions and surface temperature. Hot weather means longer cure times, while cooler conditions allow faster access.
Heavy trucks and delivery vehicles should wait 3-5 days for full strength development. We’ll give you specific guidance based on your traffic patterns and the weather during installation.
The surface continues to harden for several weeks after installation. Avoid sharp turns and heavy loads in the same spots during this period. Power steering marks and scuffing are more likely on fresh asphalt that hasn’t fully cured.
Yes, we handle all required permits and coordinate inspections as part of our service. Commercial projects often require permits for drainage modifications, ADA compliance, or work in public right-of-ways.
We’re familiar with Polk County requirements and maintain relationships with local inspectors. This ensures smooth approval processes and avoids delays that can derail project schedules.
You’ll receive copies of all permits and inspection reports for your records. This documentation is important for insurance purposes and future property transactions. We make sure everything is properly filed and approved before considering any project complete.
