A cracked, patched lot tells people something about the business before they reach the door. It also costs money in repairs every single year.
Papaneri & Sons Concrete has paved commercial property across Cherry Hill and South Jersey since 1987. We are family owned, ACI certified, licensed, and insured, and we run our own crews and equipment.
We pour full parking lots, drive lanes, dumpster pads, loading dock aprons, fire lanes, and the concrete islands and curbing that tie a site together.
We also replace failed asphalt in the areas that take the most abuse. Dumpster pads and truck aprons are the two spots asphalt gives up first.
Parking lots are part of our commercial work. See the full list of concrete services in Cherry Hill, or call (856) 354-9338 to schedule a site walk.
A parking lot is not one surface. Different zones see very different loads, and pouring them all the same thickness wastes money in one place and fails in another.
Car stalls carry light loads, while drive lanes take every delivery truck that enters the site. We thicken the lanes and keep the stalls economical.
Dock areas take impact, turning loads, and trailer jacks. These get the heaviest sections and the most steel on the entire property.
Trash trucks put enormous point loads on a small area. A reinforced concrete pad stops the ruts and sinkholes asphalt develops there.
Curb lines, islands, and pedestrian walks direct traffic and protect landscaping. We form them as part of the same job.
We work around your operating hours. Sections get poured in phases so customers and deliveries keep coming in while the work goes on.
On sites with accessibility requirements, we build the accessible stalls, access aisles, and ramps to the slopes the plan calls for.
Some sites only need the worst zones rebuilt. We can pour concrete lanes and pads inside an existing asphalt lot, tie the elevations together, and leave the rest of the surface alone for now.
Asphalt costs less on day one. Concrete usually costs less over the life of the lot, and the gap grows with every truck that drives on it.
A well built concrete lot on a solid base commonly runs 30 years or more. Asphalt typically needs replacement much sooner in the same conditions.
Asphalt needs sealcoating every few years plus crack filling. Concrete needs joint sealing and occasional panel repairs, and it does not need a surface coating.
Hot summers soften asphalt, and trailer jacks and dumpster wheels push straight into it. Concrete keeps its shape under concentrated loads.
Concrete reflects more light, so lots need less fixture wattage at night, and the surface stays looking clean rather than faded and patched.
The base matters either way. Skipping subgrade prep is the most common reason both surfaces fail early, and no amount of thickness on top fixes it.
Many owners go hybrid. We pour concrete in the drive lanes, dock areas, and dumpster pads, and leave asphalt in the low load parking stalls.
Repairs feel different too. A failed concrete panel comes out on its joints and gets replaced in a day, while a failed asphalt area keeps spreading until a larger section has to be milled and repaved.
Paving a lot is site work first and concrete second. Most of the schedule goes into what happens before a truck ever backs in.
We start with grading and drainage. Water has to leave the lot, so we set slopes toward inlets and check them before any stone goes down.
Then the subgrade gets proof rolled. Soft spots are dug out and replaced with stone, because a weak subgrade will telegraph through any thickness of concrete.
We build the stone base in compacted lifts and set forms to line and grade. Straight forms and correct elevations are what make a lot drain properly.
Steel goes in where the design calls for it, heavier in truck lanes and dock aprons. Then we place our 4500 PSI mix and screed it to the slopes.
We broom finish for traction, cut the joint pattern on schedule, and cure the surface. Striping goes on once the concrete has cured enough to hold paint.
Curbing and inlets go in as part of the same sequence. Setting them before the paving pour keeps the finished grade tight to the drainage structures, so water reaches the inlet instead of ponding two feet away.

Three decisions separate a lot that lasts from one that gets patched every spring. They all get made before the pour.
Car stalls, drive lanes, and dock aprons each get their own section thickness. We build the plan around your actual traffic, not a single number.
Panels are laid out close to square, with joints running off every inside corner, inlet, and light base. Random joints crack in random places.
Standing water freezes, and freezing water works on joints and edges all winter. We set slope to the inlets and check it with a level before we pour.
The apron at the street, the seam where concrete meets asphalt, and the curb line all take the hardest hits. We thicken and detail those on purpose.
Freeze and thaw cycles and road salt are the reality here. Air entrained mix, sealed joints, and good drainage are what get a lot through a South Jersey winter.
We give you a phased schedule with the quote. You will know exactly which rows are closed on which days before we start.
Striping and signage finish the job. We coordinate the layout so stall counts, accessible spaces, and fire lanes land where the site plan and your traffic flow call for them.
Commercial paving is a scheduling job as much as a concrete job. Every day a lot is closed costs the business money.
Three generations of the Papaneri family run every job. Property managers around South Jersey have our number saved for a reason.
Our crews are trained to industry standards and carry full commercial insurance, with certificates issued before we mobilize.
We pour in sections, keep access lanes clear, and work nights or weekends when a site cannot lose daytime parking.
Grading, base, forming, steel, pouring, and finishing all come from us. One contractor owns the result.
It depends on the zone. Car stalls need less section than drive lanes, and dock aprons that take loaded trucks need the most thickness and steel. We set each zone after looking at your traffic and soil. For budget planning, see what concrete parking lot paving costs.
Yes. We phase the work section by section and keep entrances and access lanes open. Many of our commercial pours run at night or over a weekend to stay out of business hours.
Cars can usually return in about seven days and heavy trucks after full cure at 28 days. We give you exact dates per section. Call Papaneri & Sons at (856) 354-9338 for a site walk.
