Parking lot quality concerns typically focus on issues that can affect the safety, functionality, and longevity of the surface. Common concerns include:

1. Potholes and Cracks: Over time, wear and tear can lead to cracks and potholes in the pavement, which can damage vehicles and create tripping hazards.
2. Drainage Problems: Poor drainage can lead to water pooling on the surface, potentially causing erosion, cracks, and deterioration. It can also contribute to ice formation in colder climates, which makes the parking lot hazardous.
3. Uneven Surface: A poorly constructed or aging parking lot can become uneven, leading to bumps, dips, and an uncomfortable experience for drivers and pedestrians. This can also cause damage to vehicles.
4. Fading Striping and Signage: Clear, visible markings and signage are essential for safe navigation in parking lots. Faded lines or missing signs can cause confusion and accidents.
5. Surface Wear and Erosion: Constant exposure to weather, traffic, and chemicals (like oil and gasoline) can erode the surface, leading to a rough, unsafe parking lot.
6. Sealant Failure: Without proper maintenance, the sealant on a parking lot can break down, leading to further damage from water penetration, UV rays, and heavy traffic.

Regular inspections, maintenance, and timely repairs—such as crack filling, seal coating, and re-striping—can help address these concerns and extend the lifespan of a parking lot.
