Concrete parking on Hewitt clay
McLennan County's 1992 soil survey warns that its deep clays, which shrink and swell and give low support, can make streets costly to build and frequent to maintain. A concrete lot needs no special subbase, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association says, but the soil under it has to be the same type, moisture and density throughout. For cars and pickups, 4-inch unreinforced concrete is usually satisfactory, while lots with light trucks may need 5 or 6 inches, and outer slabs that take wheel loads should get a thickened edge, usually an integral curb.
Settle City review first. Hewitt's Planning and Community Development Department accepts application submissions on or before the first Friday of each month, and its Development Review Committee checks them against the Hewitt Code of Ordinances and Chapter 212 of the Texas Local Government Code. The City's building permit application also lists a Land Clearing Filling or Grading Permit among the permits that need inspector approval.
Under the 2010 ADA Standards, minimum widths are 96 inches for an accessible car space, 132 for a van space and 60 for the access aisle, which must be level with the spaces it serves. The building and its walks are covered under commercial concrete in Hewitt and walkways around the site; the full list of Hewitt services has the rest.

Count the stalls and the traffic
Cars only or trucks too: the traffic sets the thickness, and the stall count sets the size.
Review, grading and subgrade
After any City review, the site is graded and the subgrade made even in soil, moisture and density.
Pour, finish and cure
A bull-float finish and light broom texture give a skid-resistant surface, and a liquid membrane compound is usually the most cost-effective way to cure it.

Parking lot questions
How soon can cars use a new concrete lot in Hewitt?
The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association's guide gives cars 3 days and trucks 7 before they use new parking pavement, unless strength tests clear it sooner, usually at 3,000 psi.
What slope does a concrete parking lot need to drain?
Parking pavement should slope 1%, or ⅛ inch per foot, toward the drains, by the same association's guide.
Does a concrete lot need expansion joints every few feet?
No. The American Concrete Institute's ACI 330R-08, as the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association quotes it, doesn't recommend regularly spaced isolation (expansion) joints in parking lots. Contraction joints are spaced instead, no more than 24 to 30 times the slab thickness apart and 15 feet at most.
