Professional Parking Lot Evaluation Based on PASER Standards

Where is your parking lot located?

Select your state to customize recommendations based on local climate and geological conditions

How old is your asphalt parking lot?

The age helps determine expected wear patterns and maintenance needs

Less than 2 years
Recently installed or resurfaced
2-5 years
Relatively new with minimal wear
5-10 years
Moderate age with some expected wear
10-15 years
Mature pavement requiring regular maintenance
Over 15 years
Aging pavement with significant wear potential

How would you describe the overall surface appearance?

Look at the general condition and color of the asphalt

Excellent - Dark Black
Rich black color, smooth surface, looks nearly new
Good - Dark Gray
Slightly faded but still uniform, minor surface texture visible
Fair - Medium Gray
Noticeable fading, aggregate starting to show, some oxidation
Poor - Light Gray
Significant fading, rough texture, aggregate clearly visible
Very Poor - White/Bleached
Severely oxidized, very rough, aggregate exposed throughout

What type of cracking do you observe?

Identify the most prevalent crack pattern in your parking lot

No Visible Cracks
Surface is intact with no cracking
Hairline/Surface Cracks
Very fine cracks, less than 1/4 inch wide
Linear/Longitudinal Cracks
Straight cracks running parallel to traffic flow
Block Cracking
Interconnected cracks forming rectangular blocks
Alligator/Fatigue Cracking
Interconnected cracks resembling alligator skin, indicates structural failure

Are there any potholes or depressions?

Assess areas where pavement material is missing or sunken

None
No potholes or depressions visible
Small Depressions
Minor surface depressions, less than 1 inch deep
Small Potholes
Few potholes, less than 6 inches wide and 2 inches deep
Multiple/Large Potholes
Several potholes or some larger than 6 inches wide
Extensive Potholes
Numerous large potholes affecting traffic flow

How well does water drain from the surface?

Poor drainage accelerates pavement deterioration

Excellent Drainage
Water drains quickly, no standing water after rain
Good Drainage
Minor puddles that disappear within 30 minutes
Fair Drainage
Some areas of standing water for 1-2 hours after rain
Poor Drainage
Multiple areas with standing water for several hours
Failed Drainage
Persistent standing water, visible depressions and birdbaths

What is the condition of the pavement edges?

Edge deterioration often indicates structural issues

Intact and Stable
Clean, straight edges with no breaking
Minor Edge Wear
Slight crumbling in a few areas
Moderate Edge Breaking
Noticeable edge deterioration in multiple areas
Severe Edge Failure
Significant crumbling and breaking along edges
