Lots for cars and pickups
This suits most lots behind small businesses, churches and apartment buildings, where the heaviest thing parking is a pickup. The concrete can usually stay simpler, so more of the budget goes into the ground under it.
Concrete parking lot building in Azusa CA - a lot built for the traffic it carries
Cracked asphalt, potholes and puddles where people park? We build concrete lots on a packed, even base so they stay flat and drain.
What goes into building a concrete parking lot in Azusa?
Concrete parking lot building in Azusa means getting the ground under the lot right and pouring concrete thick enough for the cars and trucks that use it, so the lot stays flat, sheds water and holds up for years.
Most lot calls start with old asphalt that's cracked, sunk in spots or holding water where people park, or with a new lot that has to take delivery trucks as well as cars. The price moves with the size of the lot, what drives on it, how heavy the concrete has to be and whether old paving comes out first. The schedule turns on tear-out, any permits the city requires, the weather and curing, which is the wait while the concrete gains strength before anyone parks on it. The estimate I write on site puts a figure on your lot.
Why Azusa property owners call A&M Azusa Concrete for parking lots
The owner walks your lot and writes the estimate
I come out myself to walk the lot, look at the ground and where the water runs, and write the estimate. The questions you ask that day get answered by the person who will be running the job on pour day.
Our own crew, with me running it
Our own crew does the work, and I'm on site to run it. The people packing the base and cutting the joints work for us, so the parts you won't see later get checked before the concrete covers them.
Pouring concrete in business since 2013
I learned on new construction crews pouring footings and slabs on empty lots, then started this business in 2013 to work at homes people already live in. Thirteen years later we still protect what's around the work and leave the site clean.

Concrete parking lot building in Azusa and the cities around it
In Azusa, grading permits and encroachment permits go through the city's Public Works Engineering Division, and which ones a given lot needs is the city's call. Before work starts, we check with the city or county office that covers your address, and when a permit is needed, we pull it and handle the paperwork. Azusa's Development Code also sets the zoning districts and development standards for each property, so it's worth asking the city early how those apply to your lot.
We're based in Azusa and work in the cities around it, from Glendora and Covina to Pasadena and Pomona. The lots we see are usually old asphalt that's been patched more times than anyone wants to count, and the job is the same wherever it is, get the ground right and then pour.
Questions about concrete parking lots
How much does a concrete parking lot cost in Azusa?
The cost depends on your lot's size, the traffic it carries and what's there now, so I give a figure only after walking it. Concrete industry guidance says a lot designed around how parking lots are actually used, rather than built like a street, can be economical and serve for many years with little maintenance. Ask any contractor bidding your lot how their plan does that, and call (626) 540-1248 when you want me to look at yours.
How do I choose the right thickness for a concrete parking lot?
The right thickness depends on what drives on the lot, so concrete industry guidance starts with a list of every vehicle that will park or drive there. Plain concrete with no steel is usually fine for cars and pickups, lots that see light trucks may need thicker pavement, and the soil and the concrete's strength figure in too. On a large lot, marking truck lanes on the plans lets those lanes be thicker than the stalls, which can mean substantial savings.
Does a concrete parking lot need a gravel base underneath?
A special base layer isn't required under a concrete parking lot, according to concrete industry guidance, as long as the soil is the same type, moisture and density all the way across. Patches that don't match get dug out and replaced with material like the rest, which is why most of the site work goes into making the ground even.
Where do I get grading or encroachment permit forms in Azusa?
The city's Engineering Division posts its grading permit application and checklist and its encroachment permit application on its engineering forms page. The same page has the encroachment permit procedures and the engineering fee schedule, so you can read the steps and check fees before applying. Ask the division which permits your lot needs.
Can concrete go over my old asphalt parking lot?
Yes, a concrete overlay can be built over an existing asphalt parking lot, and there's national trade guidance on choosing, designing and building them. I'd want to see how your asphalt is holding up before suggesting it over a full tear-out.
How long before a concrete parking lot needs repair work?
Industry guidance puts the first round of repair, called concrete pavement restoration, at typically 10 to 15 years. It's the least costly fix for wear because it's done early, while the lot still has little wear, so it's worth budgeting for in that window instead of waiting.
What license does a contractor need to pour a concrete parking lot in California?
California's C-8 Concrete Contractor class covers contractors who form, pour, place, finish and install pavement and flat concrete work. Ask anyone bidding your lot what license they hold before you sign anything.
