Sealcoating is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your pavement investment. At Parking Lots Plus, we provide professional asphalt sealcoating services for high-traffic surfaces throughout Arkansas.
Asphalt is tough, but over time, exposure to sun, rain, oil, and vehicle traffic wears it down. Without protection, the surface fades, oxidizes, and becomes brittle. A professionally applied seal coat adds a protective barrier that locks out UV rays, water, automotive fluids, and other damaging elements that break down the asphalt binder.
What is sealcoating? Sealcoating is the application of a liquid protective layer over existing asphalt pavement. The coating fills surface voids, restores the rich black appearance, and creates a barrier between the asphalt and the elements. For commercial properties with high traffic and constant exposure, sealcoating is one of the most cost-effective preservation tools available.
Sealcoating not only enhances curb appeal but also delays costly repairs and replacement. A freshly sealed parking lot signals to customers that your business pays attention to detail and cares about their experience. Regular applications every two to three years as part of a pavement maintenance plan can double the useful life of your lot.
Our process starts with thorough surface preparation. Our crews remove debris, power clean the pavement, and treat any oil spots with primer to ensure proper adhesion. We then apply commercial-grade coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealer using calibrated spray systems for uniform coverage and consistent results. Two coats are standard for commercial applications.
Benefits of commercial sealcoating include protection from UV oxidation and water penetration, resistance to oil, gas, and chemical spills, a refreshed dark surface that improves lot visibility and aesthetics, reduced long-term maintenance costs, and extended intervals between major repairs or resurfacing.
The best time to sealcoat in Arkansas is between late spring and early fall, when temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees and rain is not in the immediate forecast. We schedule around your business hours to minimize disruption. Contact Parking Lots Plus for a free sealcoating estimate for your commercial property.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a parking lot be sealcoated?
Most commercial parking lots should be sealcoated every 2 to 3 years. New asphalt should cure for at least 6 to 12 months before the first application.
Can you sealcoat over cracks and damage?
Small surface cracks can be sealed before sealcoating, but larger cracks and potholes should be repaired first. Sealcoating is a protective treatment, not a structural repair.
What is the best season for sealcoating in Arkansas?
Late spring through early fall, when daytime temperatures stay above 50 degrees and no rain is expected for 24 to 48 hours after application.
