The Strong Case For Concrete Parking Lots

As the cost of oil increases, so does the cost of petroleum- based asphalt. That makes concrete a more cost-effective material for today’s parking lots. Plus, it is environmentally friendly and qualifies for LEED credits.

An Even Stronger Case For Green-Crete
Gresser’s Green-Crete Parking Lot Solutions offer turnkey solutions that include engineering services, base preparation, base formation and high-quality, accurate paving.

Gresser is also uniquely equipped to provide accurate three-dimensional concrete surfacing and contouring with huge labor cost savings and speed over traditional methods. We can also provide a green soil stabilization solution to reduce the gravel base and costs.

To top it all off, we can make your lot more attractive with a selection of decorative textures, shapes, patterns and colors. Pervious concrete to enhance site utility and reduce ponding requirements is also an option.

Concrete Vs. Asphalt

Concrete offers an overwhelming number of environmental and practical benefits:
Recycled materials from local sources.
No contribution to a building’s heat envelope, further reducing energy costs.
Optional integral curb and gutter.
High light reflectance increases safety, reduces the need for excess lighting.
Reduced maintenance and costs.
Durable and strong- withstands many years of heavy usage.
Nontoxic runoff.

In contrast, asphalt offers severe and often expensive disadvantages:

Petroleum-based.
Black and dirty, requiring extra lighting and increased energy.
Frequent resurfacing, patching and sealing.
Subject to cracking and potholes.
Environmentally unsound and wasteful.
Very hot-elevating the heat island effect and increasing cooling costs of surrounding facilities.
