In the heart of Longview, TX, a busy commercial parking lot was showing its age. Years of sun exposure, vehicle traffic, and weather extremes had taken their toll, leaving the surface faded, brittle, and vulnerable to cracking.
The property owner needed a solution that would restore the look of the lot while extending its lifespan — and they needed it done with minimal disruption to the daily flow of tenants, staff, and visitors.
That’s where we came in.
Preserving Asphalt in the East Texas Heat
At Southend Asphalt, we know what Texas weather can do to unprotected pavement. Between the scorching sun and occasional downpours, untreated asphalt wears down fast. In Longview, parking lots like this one are up against constant exposure — and without regular maintenance, small cracks can quickly become costly asphalt repairs.
Sealcoating is one of the most effective ways to fight back. It acts as a barrier against moisture, UV rays, and oxidation, while instantly improving the curb appeal of any property. For commercial spaces, it’s a must — not only for protection, but for making a strong first impression.
A High-Traffic Lot That Couldn’t Shut Down
This project posed a common challenge: how do you upgrade a heavily used parking area without interrupting business as usual?
Working with the property manager, we planned the sealcoating in stages to keep traffic flowing. Our team arrived early, sectioned off portions of the lot, and used professional-grade spray equipment to apply a smooth, even layer of sealcoat.
By working efficiently and precisely, we avoided downtime while delivering lasting results.
A Noticeable Difference in Just One Day
The transformation was immediate.
The dull, weather-worn asphalt was replaced with a rich, black surface that looked brand new. The sealcoat didn’t just improve appearance. It created a layer of defense that will help this lot stand up to the elements for years to come.
As with all our projects, we took care to leave clean edges along curbs and landscaped islands, protecting the surrounding features while making the lot look polished and professional.
This job is a great example of how a relatively simple service like sealcoating can make a big impact — especially in a place like Longview, where pavement needs to be tough enough for the Texas climate.
