Grind and Pave: The Easy Way to Refresh Your Parking Lot

What Is Grind and Pave?

If your parking lot looks worn out but the base is still strong, grind and pave is a smart fix. Instead of tearing everything out, we remove the broken areas, level it off and replace it with fresh asphalt.

At Pavemar Paving, we’ve helped many businesses across Toronto save time and money with this method. It’s fast, clean, and long-lasting.


Why Businesses Choose Grind and Pave

Grind and pave is popular for a reason. It gives your lot a fresh, smooth look without a full rebuild.

Here’s why it works so well:

  • Costs less than full replacement

  • Takes less time to complete

  • Improves safety by removing uneven spots

  • Extends the life of your asphalt

It’s a great choice for busy commercial spaces that can’t afford long downtime.

Step-by-Step: How Grind and Pave Works

We follow a simple process to make sure your parking lot looks and performs its best.

1. Deweeding the Parking Lot

We start by removing weeds and debris. This helps create a clean surface so the new asphalt bonds properly.

2. Grinding Down High Spots

Next, we grind down uneven or raised areas. This step smooths out bumps and fixes problem spots that can cause damage over time.

3. Removing Loose Asphalt

After grinding, we sweep and remove all broken asphalt. This keeps the surface clean and ready for the next step.

4. Applying Asphalt Shear (Tack Coat)

We apply a bonding layer across the entire area. This helps the new asphalt stick tightly to the surface below.

5. Installing Fresh Asphalt

Finally, we lay down a new layer of asphalt. The result is a smooth, strong, and great-looking parking lot.


When Should You Choose Grind and Pave?

Grind and pave is the right choice when:

  • Your asphalt has cracks or rough spots

  • The base layer is still in good condition

  • You want a fast and cost-effective upgrade
