Best Buy Highland, IN: Parking Lot Paving & Striping with Zero Downtime

Commercial Asphalt Paving Project Spotlight

Best Buy in Highland, IN needed a complete parking lot transformation, without closing their doors.

In October 2024, Site Services delivered a comprehensive asphalt paving, sealcoating, and striping upgrade while keeping the retail store fully operational throughout the project.

Project Overview

Services: Asphalt milling, commercial paving, sealcoating, parking lot striping

Years of heavy customer traffic had taken its toll on Best Buy’s parking lot in Highland.

Cracked asphalt, faded striping, and uneven surfaces created safety concerns and detracted from the customer experience.

Best Buy needed a complete parking lot upgrade – but couldn’t close for construction.

Site Services provided a turnkey solution, managing every phase from asphalt milling to final striping with seamless coordination.

Challenges & Solutions

The Challenge: Maintaining full store operations during a major parking lot reconstruction.

Unlike simple patch jobs, this project required complete surface removal and replacement.

The biggest obstacle? Best Buy needed to stay open for business throughout the entire construction timeline.

Our Solution: Strategic phasing and proactive communication.

Site Services developed a detailed project plan that divided the work into manageable sections. Our team coordinated daily with Best Buy’s management and the property owner to ensure continuous customer access.

This approach allowed shoppers to park, shop, and leave safely while construction progressed in designated zones.

Clear communication, one of Site Services’ core strengths, kept all stakeholders informed of progress, timelines, and any adjustments needed.

The Asphalt Paving Process

Site Services took a systematic approach to transform Best Buy’s parking lot:

Phase 1: Asphalt Milling
Our crew removed the deteriorated asphalt surface, eliminating damaged layers and creating a stable foundation for new pavement.

Phase 2: Commercial Paving
Fresh asphalt was installed using proper compaction techniques to ensure long-term durability under constant vehicle traffic.

Phase 3: Sealcoating Application
A protective sealcoat was applied to shield the new asphalt from UV damage, water penetration, and everyday wear—extending the pavement’s lifespan.

Phase 4: Parking Lot Striping
Precision line striping created clearly defined parking spaces, traffic lanes, and ADA-compliant markings. The new layout optimized traffic flow and enhanced safety for Highland shoppers.
