Commercial Concrete Parking Lots & Driveways in Atlanta, GA
Atlanta Concrete Services builds and repairs concrete parking lots, entrance drives, drive lanes and service drives for retail centers, offices, churches, apartment communities and industrial sites. We pour lots that handle heavy trucks, shed storm water fast and pass the accessibility and right-of-way reviews that Atlanta-area projects face.
Parking lots in metro Atlanta take a beating. Asphalt softens and ruts in long summers where highs sit near 90 degrees, while delivery trucks and garbage trucks grind the same lanes every day. Concrete holds its shape in the heat and stays cooler and brighter, which helps both drivers and the building's cooling bill. It also has to deal with Atlanta's stormwater rules, its EV-ready requirements on certain new parking, and entrance permits from ATLDOT or the Georgia Department of Transportation on state routes like Peachtree Road and Buford Highway.
We bid parking and drive work for property owners and contractors in Kennesaw, Marietta, Smyrna, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Duluth, Johns Creek, Decatur and Stone Mountain, plus the rest of the four-county area & more.
Why Choose Atlanta Concrete Services
Parking Lot & Driveway Services
Parking Lot Construction
Rutted asphalt, potholes and standing water at the storefront tell customers the property is not cared for. We build concrete lots on a compacted, proof-rolled base with the thickness and reinforcement your engineer specifies, heavier in truck lanes and dumpster approaches.
Joints are laid out to line up with stall striping and drainage structures so cracking stays where we plan it.
Entrances & Curb Cuts
A broken entrance apron is the first and last thing every driver feels. We pour commercial entrance drives and curb cuts to approved plans, with ATLDOT right-of-way permits inside the city and GDOT driveway permits where the entrance meets a state route.
We also match the public sidewalk crossing so pedestrians have a continuous, level path.
ADA Stalls & Curb Ramps
Accessible stalls that are too steep or ramps without detectable warning surfaces are frequent findings in inspections and complaints. We pour accessible stalls and access aisles at 2 percent maximum slope in any direction and build compliant ramps that connect to the building entrance.
Ramps and sidewalks out at the street are part of our commercial sidewalks and curbs work.
Stormwater & Pervious Concrete
New impervious surface in Atlanta brings stormwater review, and the city requires managing the first inch of rainfall on site with green infrastructure on projects that trigger its ordinance. Pervious concrete in parking stalls lets rain soak into a stone reservoir below, which can help meet that requirement.
We build conventional lots with curb inlets and trench drains too, following the civil plans.
EV Charger Pads & Conduit
Atlanta's EV-ready ordinance requires 20 percent of spaces in new commercial and multifamily parking structures to be ready for charging, and many owners add chargers to surface lots as well. We pour charger pads and bollard footings and coordinate conduit runs with your electrician before the concrete goes down.
Planning conduit ahead avoids saw-cutting a new lot later, which is far more disruptive and leaves patch lines across the pavement.
Panel Replacement & Repair
Cracked, sunken or shattered panels near dumpsters and loading lanes create liability. We saw-cut and remove failed panels, fix soft subgrade, dowel into the surrounding slab and pour replacements, then reseal joints across the lot.
Work is phased so part of the lot stays open for customers. We also look at what broke the panels, often a dumpster truck turning on a slab built too thin, and thicken the replacement where the plans allow.
How We Build Your Lot
Site Walk & Bid
We review the civil plans, walk the site and look at traffic flow, drainage and access during construction. Commercial pricing comes from plans and a site visit, and the written bid lists scope and phasing.
Permits, Locates & Grading
Right-of-way permits and Georgia 811 locates come first, then erosion controls, grading and base. Sites disturbing an acre or more follow the Georgia EPD construction stormwater permit.
Paving & Joints
We pour lanes and stalls with paving crews and finish with a broom texture for traction in the rain. Joints are cut on time and sealed.
Cure, Stripe & Open
Panels cure before traffic returns, usually opening in phases. We coordinate striping, signage and stop bars so the lot reopens ready to use.
Commercial Parking Lot FAQs
What does a concrete parking lot cost?
Commercial lots are quoted from plans and a site visit, since thickness, base, drainage and phasing vary widely. We provide a detailed written bid.
Why choose concrete over asphalt in Atlanta?
Concrete does not soften in summer heat, resists rutting from trucks and stays lighter in color. It usually needs less frequent maintenance than asphalt over its life.
Can you keep our business open during the work?
Yes. We phase the lot, keep entrances usable and schedule loud work for off-hours when possible.
Do we need a permit for a new entrance?
Yes. Inside the City of Atlanta, ATLDOT issues right-of-way permits for driveway aprons. On state routes, GDOT's driveway permit rules also apply.
Does pervious concrete work on clay soil?
It can, with a deep stone reservoir and sometimes an underdrain, because the clay soaks water in slowly. The civil engineer sizes the system.
How long until cars can park on new concrete?
Passenger cars can often return after about a week. Heavy trucks wait longer, based on the mix and the engineer's direction.
