Designing a Commercial Parking Lot

Commercial lots bear much higher weight loads than residential driveways, especially from garbage trucks, delivery vans, and constant turning friction.

Rule of Thumb for Depth

Standard Vehicle Areas: 3-4 inches of HMA over 6-8 inches of crushed aggregate base.
Heavy Duty (Dumpster Pads & Delivery Lanes): 6-8 inches of HMA (usually poured in two lifts: a binder course and a surface course) over 8-12 inches of aggregate base. Concrete is often substituted for dumpster pads.
