Young's Excavating & Paving: Transforming Summit Title's Parking Lot in Bedford, NH

Revitalizing Summit Title's Parking Lot

In the heart of Bedford, New Hampshire, a meticulous transformation has taken place. Young's Excavating & Paving LLC has successfully completed an extensive parking lot resurfacing project for Summit Title Services, located at 120 Bedford Center Road. This endeavor, concluded in May 2026, encompassed an impressive 10,075 square feet. The project was not merely a cosmetic upgrade; it was a carefully orchestrated solution to prevent future subsidence issues.

The challenges that plague parking lots often lie beneath the surface. At Summit Title Services, two distinct areas had visibly sunk, measuring approximately four feet by three feet each. Such depressions are frequently caused by water infiltration through joints and cracks, which compromises the underlying base, leading to instability. During winter, the cycle of freezing and thawing exacerbates this weakness, resulting in the pavement's descent.

Addressing the Core Issue Before Resurfacing

Understanding the root cause is crucial for long-term success in resurfacing projects. Young's Excavating & Paving recognized that simply overlaying new asphalt without addressing the underlying problems would lead to recurrence of the same issues. Therefore, the team meticulously removed the compromised asphalt areas, saw-cutting and replacing them with three inches of fresh asphalt before proceeding with the overall lot overlay.

Transitional milling played a pivotal role in ensuring a seamless integration between the new and existing surfaces. This technique involves grinding down the existing pavement where new asphalt will meet it, allowing for a smooth transition without creating a raised lip. The process involved cleaning and preparing the remaining lot, applying a tack coat, and laying a base layer of asphalt followed by a two-inch wearing course.

A Unified Approach for Surface Excellence

The wearing course, which is the top layer exposed to traffic and the elements, was expertly installed to enhance durability and performance. Summit Title Services' choice to work with Young's Excavating & Paving reflects the importance of having a single contractor manage both excavation and paving tasks. This unified approach ensures consistency and quality across all elements of the project, from the base to the finished surface.
