Plats, permits and a new lot in Gholson
Under the City's permit application, every request to build a new structure or alter an existing one, decks, swimming pools and sheds included, needs a plat of survey with it. It doesn't say whether paving on its own counts, and it lists no fee. The forms page also offers a Plat Application & Checklist and a Plat Variance Application, so ask City Hall which of them, if any, a new lot needs before the layout is drawn.
Strength and joints for parking
For most of the country, a 28-day strength of 4,000 psi is enough for parking areas, by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association's guide, unless design or durability calls for more. Joints should form square panels where possible; a rectangle should run no more than 1.5 times longer than it is wide. Each contraction joint is cut a quarter or more of the slab's depth, and American Concrete Institute documents cap the spacing at 15 feet regardless of thickness; full-depth isolation joints are saved for fixed objects.
Floors inside the building fall under commercial concrete in Gholson, and a worn or cracked lot under Gholson concrete repair; every Gholson service is listed on one page.

(254) 309-9254Paving costs for a business lot
National 2026 averages put a paved parking lot at $75,000, with most owners paying $10,000 to $150,000. Concrete paving runs $4 to $7 a square foot against $2 to $4 for asphalt, labor from a hired paver adds $1.50 to $2 a square foot, and line repainting costs $500 to $1,200. These are averages, not a quote.
Gholson parking lot questions
How thick should a lot be where delivery trucks turn in?
Thicker than the stalls. For car parking areas and their access lanes, ACI 330's thickness table calls for 4.0 inches; for entrance lanes carrying 700 multiple-unit trucks a day it calls for 8.0, both on weak subgrade, in the version the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association reprints.
How much ground does each parking space take?
Most parking lots take up 300 to 350 square feet per car, by national 2026 figures, which also put striping at $4 to $5 per standard stall.
Are dowels needed in a thin concrete parking lot?
Quoted in the association's parking-lot FAQ, ACI 330R-08 says round dowels can be impractical or counterproductive in pavements of 7 inches or less, and car parking areas in ACI 330's table call for 4.0 inches.
