What the estimate checks
China Spring ISD, a 4A district, serves roughly 3,000 students across six campuses. Whether a lot is for a school, a church or a business, its planning starts with the same three questions: how many cars, how many trucks, and where the water goes.
Thickness follows the heaviest traffic. As the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association reprints ACI 330's thickness table, car parking gets 4.0 inches, and an entrance lane taking 700 multiple-unit trucks a day gets 8.0, both on weak subgrade. Joint layout comes next: keep panels close to square, never more than half again as long as they are wide; saw contraction joints to a quarter of the depth or more; and save full-depth isolation joints for fixed objects.
Rain matters too. The National Weather Service says Waco's yearly rainfall has ranged from under 20 inches to over 50, usually arriving in a wet spring and fall.

Questions about concrete lots
Does McLennan County have to approve a parking lot in China Spring?
We found no county rule for commercial paving. The county rule we read is written for homes, gives the county no prior-approval power and allows no zoning, so ask the County Engineer's Office what applies before grading starts.
Do joints go closer together on a thin parking lot?
By one quick rule, yes. A Michigan Concrete Association guide based on ACI 330 sets the maximum spacing in feet at 1.5 times the thickness in inches, so a 4-inch lot gets joints no more than 6 feet apart. The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association's parking lot FAQ caps contraction and construction joints at 15 feet whatever the thickness.
What slump should parking lot concrete have?
A slump of 3 to 5 inches is what the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association recommends for parking-area concrete.
