Planning a concrete parking lot in Waco
Lot thickness follows the traffic
Where only cars, panel trucks and pickups park, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association finds 4 inches of unreinforced concrete usually enough, and a lot for light trucks may need 5 or 6 inches. It asks for no special subbase, only a subgrade that stays even in soil type, moisture and density.
Clay, joints and drainage
McLennan County's soil survey warns that deep clays with high shrink-swell and low support strength can make paving streets costly, and it points to a heavier flexible base, deeper lime-stabilized subgrade and moisture barriers to make a street last longer. NRMCA keeps lot joints 15 feet apart at most and wants a 1% fall, ⅛ inch per foot, to the drains.
Accessible stalls
The 2010 ADA Standards set accessible car stalls at 96 inches wide or more and van stalls at 132, beside access aisles of 60 inches. See ADA ramps for the route to the door.

How long will a concrete parking lot last?

Is concrete or asphalt better for a parking lot?
Asphalt costs less to build in national figures. Concrete lots run cooler than asphalt ones and are minimally affected by leaking petroleum products, says the American Concrete Institute.
How many accessible parking spaces does a lot need?
Under the 2010 ADA Standards, a lot of 1 to 25 spaces needs 1 accessible space, 26 to 50 needs 2, 51 to 75 needs 3 and 76 to 100 needs 4. At least one in six accessible spaces must be van-accessible.
