Shopping Mall Paving Services

Serving Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Santa Clara Counties

Whether you’re building new, expanding, or restoring aging pavement, the condition of your property’s asphalt directly impacts safety, customer experience, and long-term value.

At Betz Works, we provide expert asphalt paving for shopping malls, retail centers, and commercial plazas, including parking lots, drive lanes, entrances, loading zones, and service roads across the Central Coast and South Bay.

We focus on performance, drainage, compliance, and curb appeal, while minimizing disruption to your daily operations.

Our Services

New Asphalt Installation

From ground-up installations for new shopping centers to expanding existing parking lots, loading areas, or access roads, we handle grading, base prep, compaction, and asphalt paving.

We build each surface to match expected traffic loads and layout requirements.

Resurfacing

If your asphalt is cracking or worn but structurally sound, resurfacing restores function and appearance at a lower cost than full replacement.

Full Removal & Replacement

For failing asphalt with base damage or drainage issues, we remove the old surface, fix the subgrade, and repave to spec.

Striping & Signage

We apply sharp, weather-resistant markings for parking stalls, fire lanes, arrows, stop bars, and more.

We include ADA-compliant striping and signage where required.

Drainage Management

We grade each area with precise slope and, where needed, install drainage channels to move water away from the surface, preventing pooling, base erosion, and long-term damage to your asphalt.

Preventative Maintenance

From sealcoating to crack repair and touch-up striping, we offer scheduled maintenance services that reduce liability, protect your investment, and keep your property looking professional year-round.

Our Process

1. Site Evaluation & Estimate

We assess your site, whether it’s an existing paved area or raw ground, to evaluate base conditions, slope, drainage, and layout needs.

You’ll get a detailed scope of work and honest pricing.

2. Planning & Coordination

We coordinate closely with property managers to phase work, maintain access, and schedule paving during low-traffic times or overnight when needed.

3. Grading & Base Prep

We grade and compact the subgrade with precision so your pavement stays level, strong, and crack-free.

4. Paving

Our crew applies hot mix asphalt and compacts it with commercial rollers to achieve optimal density and smoothness.

We allow full curing time, typically 24 to 72 hours, before opening to vehicle traffic, ensuring long-term performance.

5. Striping

After curing, we apply clean, durable striping for parking, directional flow, ADA compliance, and fire lanes tailored to your lot layout.

6. Final Walkthrough & Maintenance Plan

We inspect the completed work with you, address any touch-ups, and offer a maintenance plan to extend pavement life and avoid future repairs.

FAQ

How much does it cost to pave a shopping center lot?

Costs range depending on whether you’re resurfacing, expanding, or fully replacing pavement. Expect $3 to $6 per square foot for most areas. We provide site-specific estimates after inspection.

How long does a typical shopping center paving project take?

Projects range from 2 to 10 days, depending on scope, site size, and access needs. We work in phases and off-hours to reduce impact on business.

What are the signs that my mall’s pavement needs replacement?

Signs include widespread cracking (especially alligator cracks), uneven surfaces, pooling water, potholes, and faded striping.

If damage is structural or water-related, resurfacing won’t be enough – a full replacement is often the best long-term solution.
