SIA Paving does parking lot paving for churches and businesses in Southern Indiana. We pave new asphalt lots and repave worn ones, and we stripe the lots we pave. Parking lots are one part of our asphalt paving in Sellersburg and the towns around it.
A busy parking lot carries turning cars and delivery trucks every day. So the job starts under the asphalt, with the crushed stone base and the grade. On an old lot, asphalt milling comes first where the worn surface has to come off. Then we lay hot-mix asphalt with our own paving machines.

The hot-mix asphalt sits on a crushed stone base. The USDA soil survey rates silt loams around Sellersburg very limited for roads because of frost action and low strength. So we grade and compact the base before any asphalt goes down. Entrances and dumpster areas take the hardest loads, so show us where trucks run when we visit.
Water is the other big threat, since water in the base freezes and expands. NOAA records for Scottsburg show about 90 days a year that freeze at night and thaw by day. Asphalt industry guidance calls for a slope of at least 1.5 percent on a parking lot so rain runs off. We grade the lot for drainage as part of the paving job.
Base work and grading count as excavation under Indiana's dig law. The law calls for at least two full working days' notice to Indiana 811 first, so buried lines get marked. A bigger new lot can also need a stormwater plan. In Sellersburg, that starts at 10,000 square feet of disturbed ground.
Striping is the last step of our parking lot paving work. We stripe the lots we pave once the new asphalt is down. Before any paint goes on, we go over the stall layout with you, and you confirm the accessible space count.
Local codes shape that layout. Sellersburg's development code says parking areas must be striped, with spaces 9 feet wide and 18 feet long. In Scottsburg and Madison, the city codes treat a resurfaced lot with the same size and layout as regular maintenance. The town or county office answers code questions for your lot.
The 2010 ADA Standards set how many accessible spaces a lot needs, starting at one for 1 to 25 spaces. At least one of every six has to be van accessible, and access aisles have to be marked. Those spaces and aisles can slope no more than 1:48, about 2 percent, so the grade stays gentle there. The Justice Department says a business that restripes its lot must provide accessible spaces under those standards.
Some worn lots only need a new surface. If the base is sound, asphalt resurfacing puts a fresh layer of hot-mix asphalt on top. A lot with a failed base needs a full repave, base and all. We tell you which one your lot needs after we look at it.
Milling comes first where the grade or the edges call for it. That keeps the finished surface at the right height along curbs and drains. Our skid steer planers handle smaller areas, and a large milling machine comes in for big lots.
Stores and offices need the lot while their doors are open. We set the paving days with you around those hours. On a bigger lot, the work can go in sections, so part of the lot stays open.

Where the job calls for it, old asphalt is milled off and the base is graded and compacted. Then our pavers lay the hot-mix asphalt, or the sealcoat goes on.
A parking lot we paved gets its striping once the asphalt is ready for it. We tell you when the new surface can take traffic.
