Asphalt Paving in Overland Park, KS

Asphalt paving in Overland Park covers a lot of ground, literally. The city had 197,238 residents at the 2020 census and an estimated 203,677 in 2025, spread over about 75 square miles of Johnson County. Its growth came mainly from greenfield suburban development, which left behind thousands of driveways, private streets, apartment lots and commercial parking areas that all need care on different schedules.

Parking lots: a maintenance plan beats emergency repairs

For property managers, the cost of asphalt is mostly decided by timing. A lot that gets crack sealing and a sealcoat at the right intervals can go many years before it needs an overlay; a lot left alone develops potholes, standing water and trip hazards. We put together a written plan that covers:

• Crack sealing every year or two, before the freeze season
• Sealcoating on a multi-year rotation, scheduled after hours or by section
• Asphalt repair and patching for failed areas near entrances, dumpster pads and drive-thrus
• Overlays or repaving when the surface is worn out but the base is sound
• Line striping to refresh faded stalls, arrows, crosswalks and fire lanes

Getting ADA restriping right

Restriping is not just repainting. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, when a parking lot is restriped the business must provide accessible parking as required by the 2010 ADA Standards. That means counting the spaces in each facility and laying out the correct number of accessible stalls. A few figures from the DOJ table:

| Total spaces | Accessible spaces required | |---|---| | 1 to 25 | 1 | | 76 to 100 | 4 | | 151 to 200 | 6 | | 201 to 300 | 7 |

At least one of every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible. Car spaces are at least 96 inches wide with a 60-inch access aisle; van spaces are 132 inches with a 60-inch aisle, or 96 inches with a 96-inch aisle. Signs are mounted with the bottom at least 60 inches above the ground, and the spaces and aisles can slope no more than 1:48. We check all of this before paint goes down.

Water and the creeks

Indian Creek, Tomahawk Creek and Negro Creek run east-northeast across Overland Park, with Turkey Creek in the far north. Runoff from roofs and pavement ends up in those streams. The city averages about 40.17 inches of precipitation a year, so a lot that drains poorly will show it fast: ponding in low stalls, softened base at the edges and ice patches in winter. When we repave or overlay, we keep or restore the slopes that carry water to inlets, and we do not let sealer or debris wash into storm drains.

Winter wear

Overland Park averages about 17.30 inches of snow a year. Plow blades catch raised crack edges and patches, and repeated freezing and thawing pries open any crack water can reach. Late-summer and early-fall crack sealing is one of the most useful things a property can do before plowing season starts.

Homes and HOA communities

About 60.5% of Overland Park homes are owner-occupied, and many sit in neighborhoods with homeowners associations that maintain private drives or common lots. We pave and resurface single driveways, and we can bid HOA-maintained pavement as one project with a schedule residents can plan around.
