Building Commercial Truck Parking Lots That Last

A smarter way to build and maintain heavy-duty parking lots

When you plan or purchase a commercial truck parking lot, you need it to perform reliably year after year. Issues like potholes, rutting, and poor drainage are more than cosmetic. They disrupt operations, increase maintenance costs, and shorten the lifespan of the lot.

Fully loaded trucks, frequent turning, and long parking times create constant stress on the surface. Traditional asphalt or aggregate designs often struggle under these conditions, which can lead to repairs much sooner than expected.

The GEOWEB® Soil Stabilization System addresses these challenges from the start by reinforcing the base so the surface stays stable and your yard remains operational.

The challenge for truck parking areas

Commercial truck parking areas experience extreme loads, tight turning, and long dwell times. Traditional asphalt or aggregate surfaces often fail under these conditions, which leads to higher upkeep and disruption.

  • Constant pressure from heavy trucks
  • Turning movements that grind and displace materials
  • Soft subgrades that shift and settle over time
  • The need to manage stormwater without sacrificing performance

Many lots appear to perform well after construction but begin developing costly problems within a few seasons.

The GEOWEB System solution

The GEOWEB system reinforces the base layer with a three-dimensional honeycomb-like structure that confines aggregate and spreads loads over a larger area. The result is a stable surface that resists deformation and reduces required pavement and base depths.

Key benefits for commercial truck parking

  • Pavement and base thickness reduced by up to 50 percent
  • Longer-lasting surfaces with fewer repairs
  • Significant reduction or elimination of potholes and rutting
  • Options for permeable or impermeable designs to manage stormwater
  • Faster installation with minimal equipment

Where it works

  • Commercial truck stops, rest areas, and travel centers
  • Long-haul and overnight parking lots
  • Trailer drop yards and staging areas
  • Distribution centers and fleet yards
  • Bus and utility vehicle parking
