Nearly 50 Years of Proven Commercial Paving Across New Mexico

For more than 47 years, Triangle Paving Co, Inc. has been the commercial asphalt paving contractor that property managers, facility directors, and government agencies across Albuquerque, NM turn to when quality is non-negotiable. Founded in 1978, we have paved parking lots, research campuses, industrial facilities, and institutional properties throughout central New Mexico — earning a reputation for work that lasts because we refuse to take shortcuts.

Commercial asphalt paving is a long-term investment, and the quality of the installation determines how long that investment will perform. Our crews handle every phase of the paving process with the same attention to detail, from subgrade preparation through final compaction. That discipline is why the State of New Mexico trusts us with contracts on its research campuses, and why commercial clients across the region continue to return to Triangle Paving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a commercial asphalt paving project take?

Timeline depends on scope and square footage. A small lot may be complete in two to three days, while larger facilities can take one to two weeks. We provide a written schedule as part of every proposal.

What is the ideal asphalt thickness for a commercial parking lot?

Most commercial lots require 2 to 3 inches of asphalt over a 4 to 6 inch aggregate base, but trucks, loading areas, and heavy-traffic zones need thicker sections. We specify thickness based on actual use patterns.

Will paving disrupt our business operations?

We plan phased work and off-hours scheduling whenever possible so that tenants, staff, and customers can continue using the property. For large lots, we can pave one section at a time to maintain access.

How soon can we drive on new asphalt?

Passenger vehicles can typically use new asphalt within 24 to 48 hours. Heavier vehicles and parked loads should wait several days to avoid surface impressions during the initial cure period.

Do you pave in all weather?

No. Ambient temperature, surface moisture, and wind all affect asphalt quality, and we will reschedule rather than pave in conditions that compromise the result. That policy is central to why our work holds up.
