Concrete parking lots have benefits whether economic, curb appeal, quickness of construction or lighting.

Compared to asphalt, for example, the advantages of concrete include longer service life, less need for maintenance and lane closures, safer and smoother driving conditions, cost effectiveness, short construction time and sensitivity to the environment.
