Crumbling asphalt, mud in wet weather, dust all summer - a properly built concrete parking lot solves all of it. We build lots in Carson City with the base prep, drainage, and city permits your project requires, from start to final inspection.
Concrete parking lot building in Carson City covers removing the existing surface, grading and compacting a stable base, and pouring a reinforced concrete slab sized and drained for your property - most residential and small commercial lots take four to ten days from start to final inspection, including the required city permit process.
If you have a gravel or unpaved area you want to replace, or an old asphalt lot that has reached the end of its life, concrete is the longer-lasting choice for Carson City's climate. The upfront cost is higher than asphalt, but a well-built concrete lot can realistically last 30 to 50 years with basic maintenance. Many of our parking lot clients also add concrete footings or other site work in the same mobilization to keep the project efficient.
The American Concrete Pavement Association documents the long-term cost advantages of concrete over asphalt for parking surfaces - worth reading if you are comparing options.
If your parking area has cracks wider than a quarter-inch, or sections lifting and breaking into loose chunks, patching will not hold long-term. At that point, a full replacement with a properly built concrete surface is usually more cost-effective than repairs that keep failing.
After one of Carson City's fast, heavy summer rainstorms, walk out and look at your parking area within an hour. If water is sitting in puddles rather than draining away, the surface either lacks proper slope or the drainage is failing - and standing water accelerates damage and pushes moisture toward your building's foundation.
If sections of your parking area rise, tilt, or become uneven after winter, that is a sign the ground underneath is moving. This is common in Carson City's clay-containing soils as they absorb snowmelt. A new lot with proper base preparation addresses the root cause, not just the surface.
A gravel or unpaved parking area turns muddy in wet weather, tracks debris into your building, and creates dust in Carson City's dry summers. Building a concrete lot solves all of those problems and adds lasting value to your property.
Our parking lot service handles every phase: site assessment, permit application, demolition of the existing surface if needed, excavation and base compaction, forming, concrete pour, control joint cutting, curing protection, city inspection coordination, and final walkthrough. We also handle drainage grading as part of the base work - not as an add-on - because proper slope is what keeps water off your surface and away from your building.
For properties that also need other concrete flatwork, we can coordinate concrete driveway building or walkway work in the same mobilization, which saves on setup and haul-off costs. Every project comes with a written scope and price before any work begins - no surprises when the invoice arrives.
For properties converting a gravel, dirt, or asphalt area to a permanent concrete surface with proper drainage and base preparation.
For existing lots that are beyond repair - cracked, heaving, or simply too old - where a full tearout and rebuild is the most cost-effective path.
For properties that need more parking capacity, adding a new concrete section that ties into or extends the existing surface.
For businesses, rentals, and multi-unit properties needing a properly designed lot with drainage, accessible space layout, and permit documentation.
Carson City sits at roughly 4,700 feet elevation and sees temperature swings that push from 95-degree summer afternoons to hard winter freezes. That range is tough on any pavement, but it hits poorly built surfaces especially hard. The soils around the city include areas of expansive clay and alluvial deposits from the Carson River valley - both of which move with moisture changes. A concrete lot poured over properly compacted base handles those conditions far better than asphalt or bare gravel. And with Carson City averaging only about 10 to 12 inches of rain per year, but receiving much of it in intense summer thunderstorms, a lot graded to drain quickly is the difference between a surface that works and one that floods.
We build parking lots throughout the region, including in Dayton and Minden, where similar soil and climate conditions apply. Whether your property is in an older neighborhood near downtown Carson City or a newer commercial corridor on the north or south end of the city, the base prep and drainage requirements are the same.
Contact us and describe your project. We schedule a site visit to measure the area, look at existing drainage, and ask how the lot will be used before giving you a written price. Expect a response within 1 business day - and a contractor who asks about delivery trucks or RV access is doing their job.
Before any work begins, we submit a permit application to Carson City's Community Development Department. This step typically takes one to three weeks depending on current permit office workload. We build this into your schedule and keep you updated so there are no surprises.
The crew removes the existing surface, excavates to the proper depth, then installs and compacts a gravel base layer. This phase typically takes one to two days and is the most important work on the whole project - a properly compacted base is what keeps concrete from cracking later.
Forms are set, concrete is poured in sections, and control joints are cut into the surface to manage cracking as the slab expands and contracts. We protect the surface during curing - especially important in Carson City's dry, sunny conditions. A city inspector signs off before the project closes. We walk you through the finished lot and explain maintenance before the crew leaves.

(775) 515-0121We handle the Carson City permit application, coordinate the city inspection, and close out the permit on your behalf. You receive documentation confirming the work was independently verified - which matters when you sell the property or need to prove the project was done to code.
Parts of Carson City sit on expansive clay and alluvial soils from the Carson River valley. We assess conditions on your specific lot before quoting and specify the base depth and compaction needed for your ground - not a generic standard that ignores what is actually underneath.
Carson City gets roughly 10 to 12 inches of rain per year, but summer thunderstorms can dump a lot in a very short time. Every lot we build is graded so water moves away from buildings and off the surface quickly - protecting your foundation and keeping the parking area usable right after a storm.
Our contractor license is active and verifiable on the Nevada State Contractors Board website at nvcontractorsboard.com. Licensing requires passing technical testing, carrying insurance, and being accountable to a state regulatory body if a dispute arises. You can check our status before signing anything.
Every parking lot we build in Carson City goes through city inspection before it is considered complete. That paper trail - permit number, inspection sign-off, contractor license on file - protects your investment and documents the work for any future property transaction.
