Lower your lifecycle costs and hassles with a parking lot maintenance agreement
At DRYCO we’re happy to help you stay ahead of the game with parking lot repairs. We incorporate the latest asphalt technologies in all the repairs we perform – from pothole repair to full depth replacement projects.
Regularly maintaining your parking lot allows you to lower the lifecycle cost of your pavement and reduce maintenance issues. That’s a win-win!
We offer multi-year pavement maintenance plans so you can plan ahead and save time, stress, and money. Here are a few things you can expect with our pavement maintenance plans:
- Best price every time
- Dramatically reduced work required to plan
- Effective implementation of annual construction programs
- Increased ability to obtain funding during budgeting
- Reduced pavement maintenance and repair costs
Asphalt Maintenance
Multi-year pavement maintenance plans have proven to be very useful tools, and proper sealcoating is at the heart of the plan. When you work from a plan, it will produce the best price, dramatically reduce the work required to plan and implement annual construction programs, increase the ability to obtain needed funding during annual budgeting processes, and lead to reduced maintenance and repair costs.
Pavement Overlay Option
If your subgrade is still intact or you have an ADA parking compliance issue, a pavement overlay may be a good option. DRYCO incorporates laser precision equipment, large conform grinders, and the latest paving equipment to create our pavement overlay design. The use of pavement membranes such as petro mat and liquid asphalt has been utilized by DRYCO since its inception, and provides the best end product. When it comes to tight tolerance, tough drainage, and high traffic areas, DRYCO is your all-in-one asphalt contractor that can get the job done quickly and correctly and will keep your present & future costs low.
Parking Lot Repairs
Too often, parking lots are under-engineered and are unable to hold up to high axle loads such as garbage trucks or loaded utility vans. Integrated landscape irrigation is also overlooked—you will find failed pavement near lawn areas due to saturation of sub-grade from overwatering. We can help repair such damage, and when you’re ready for a new parking lot, we can ensure that it’s built correctly.
Remove and Replace Asphalt
DRYCO provides all manner of asphalt repair, whether it be a simple pot hole repair to a full production mill out and replace. DRYCO owns several asphalt milling machines built to quickly and accurately remove failed pavement without disturbing subgrade. We have the latest in paving and compaction equipment so maximum compaction is attained. Fact is that for every 1% compaction you don’t get you will lose 5% of the life of the pavement? Quality equipment and its proper application with experienced operator matters!

What causes Pavement Deterioration?
Raveling
Exposure to the elements cause the liquid asphalt binder in pavement to oxidize and become brittle, and the weight of vehicles causes the now brittle surface to crumble. Water then washes away the crumbled aggregate, diminishing pavement thickness and revealing a rough, rocky appearance.
Cracking
Variations in temperature cause pavement to expand and contract, and rain may cause the soil underneath to swell irregularly. All of this puts stress on the pavement, creating long cracks in a longitudinal (along the roadway) or transverse direction (across the roadway). These are quite common in California and can be kept in check through regular pavement maintenance. As the pavement ages, these cracks will appear with increasing density, forming block cracks. Block cracks indicate that the pavement has lost its flexibility and may require major reconstruction.
Alligatoring
When it rains or when irrigation overflows the landscaping, especially in areas with poor drainage, water enters the cracks and over time slowly carries away the “fines” of the subgrade over time. This causes unstable, unsupported pavement. The weight of vehicles causes the unsupported pavement to crack in a manner resembling alligator skin.
Potholes
Alligatoring will spread through the pavement like cancer, breaking the pavement into even smaller pieces that are cast aside, eventually forming potholes. Just like a leaky roof left unrepaired, the costs increase rapidly at this stage. Immediate response is highly recommended.
Pavement Maintenance
If you set up a proper pavement maintenance plan and act proactively to protect your investment by regularly sealcoating on schedule, the life of your parking lots and game courts will be extended significantly—and therefore your costs minimized over the life of the hardscape.

DRYCO acquired California Pavement Maintenance (CPM)
In January 2020, DRYCO acquired California Pavement Maintenance (CPM) in Sacramento, California. In business since 1979, CPM will continue to operate as a division of DRYCO—and their crew brings a special expertise in slurry seal. We are excited to offer this new service with a team of pros who know how to do it right.
