Don&#8217;t underestimate how much a customer parking lot can influence people&#8217;s first impressions. Within seven seconds, they&#8217;ll make a judgment about the legitimacy and professionalism of your business. Still not convinced? Keep reading to find out how a concrete parking lot can benefit your commercial property.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>It Looks Professional<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, your customer parking lot says a lot about your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your parking lot should not be&nbsp;riddled with potholes, bumpy spots, or cracks. The parking lanes&nbsp;should be freshly painted and easily identifiable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond that, pay attention to the finer details. Ask yourself these questions about your concrete parking lot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:17px\"><li>Is it easy to access from the road?<\/li><li>Are there identifiable arrows or signs that indicate &#8220;In&#8221; and &#8220;Out&#8221; lanes?<\/li><li>Are the parking spaces big enough?<\/li><li>Is there sufficient space to\u00a0back out of parking spaces?<\/li><li>Do you have any handicap spaces?<\/li><li>When applicable, do you have enough cart returns?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a small business on a strip\u00a0with other businesses, maybe your parking options are limited. If so, consider\u00a0staking your claim on a few spots with &#8220;Customer Only&#8221; signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>It Keeps Everyone Safe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Parking lot safety may not be the first thing on your mind when it comes to this topic, but you can&#8217;t ignore it. Think of all the potential accidents that could occur in a poorly-designed parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two cars could drive into one another because the space between parking lots is too narrow. One car could back into another while reversing out of a space. Cars entering or exiting the parking lot&nbsp;might not yield to traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are only a few examples of possible disasters. In fact,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gregcolemanlaw.com\/blog\/parking-lot-accidents.html\">twenty percent of car accidents<\/a>&nbsp;happen in parking lots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to include good lighting and a surveillance system in your parking lot safety plan. You don&#8217;t want thieves ransacking your customers&#8217; cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>It Prevents Infestations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you neglect parking lot maintenance,&nbsp;you may run into a pest or rodent problem. Your custodial team&nbsp;should regularly change out garbage cans and pick up trash in the parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, these pests may find a way inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>It&#8217;s Eco-Friendly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a concrete parking lot, you&#8217;re doing the environment a favor. This material is completely recyclable and saves us from dipping into gas, water, and oil resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing concrete is easier, and it\u00a0will last\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nvmpaving.com\/should-you-choose-asphalt-or-concrete-for-your-paving-project\/\">years longer than asphalt<\/a>. Lastly, a concrete parking lot will reflect light, keeping the surface cooler in the summer and reducing energy costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Freshening Up Your Concrete Parking Lot<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Updating the concrete parking lot for your customers is an easy and eco-friendly way to keep people coming back. It ensures parking lot safety and keeps your energy cost down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to repave your customer parking lot?
