At The Goddard School on Mercantile Road in Baltimore, MD, the parking lot had begun to show signs of surface deterioration from years of daily use. Cracks, uneven textures, and fading made the area look worn and impacted both appearance and safety.
That’s when Goode Paving & Sealcoating stepped in to restore the surface with a 2-inch mill and overlay, followed by fresh line striping to give the lot a clean, finished look.
Our Pavement Restoration Without Full Replacement
Rather than tearing out the entire lot, our team used a more efficient and cost-effective approach—asphalt milling and overlay. This process removes the top layer of damaged asphalt while preserving the existing base, which was still structurally sound.
It’s an ideal solution for commercial properties like schools, where downtime must be minimized and budget efficiency matters.
Steps We Took to Deliver Lasting Results
Here’s how we tackled the job:
Milling
We used precision equipment to grind down 2 inches of worn asphalt across the parking lot. This removed surface defects like cracks and uneven patches without disturbing the base.
Sweeping and Surface Prep
After milling, we cleaned the entire area to prepare for bonding the new layer.
Asphalt Overlay
A fresh 2-inch layer of hot mix asphalt was applied and compacted, creating a smooth, durable surface.
Line Striping
To complete the job, we added clean, high-visibility striping for parking spaces and traffic flow. This step improves safety and gives the lot a finished, professional appearance.
The new markings are fully ADA compliant, providing accessible spaces and pathways meet federal requirements for inclusive use.
The transformation was immediately visible—from faded and cracked to a fresh, newly paved look. The new striping ensures safe drop-off and pickup zones for families and staff while clearly defining parking stalls throughout the lot.
A Smart Choice for Baltimore-Area Commercial Properties
In Baltimore’s busy commercial areas, parking lots face constant wear from traffic, changing weather, and environmental exposure. The mill and overlay method offers a smart alternative to full reconstruction, giving businesses a way to restore pavement performance without starting from scratch.
Schools like The Goddard School need reliable, smooth, and safe lots—especially during peak pickup times. This service not only improved curb appeal but also made day-to-day operations smoother and safer.
