Most people encounter parking lots made of concrete or asphalt when visiting residential, commercial, or public properties. Still, gravel parking lots are not uncommon at recreation sites, low-traffic commercial properties, industrial equipment lots, and storage yards. These lots offer a cost-effective, low-maintenance parking solution. They’re also fairly durable, and repairs are typically straightforward and inexpensive. However, they do present unique challenges—particularly when it comes to parking space definition. Because gravel can’t be painted and surface materials shift over time, traditional posts, stakes, and wheel stops are often ineffective. Fortunately, there are reliable solutions for marking gravel parking lots successfully, making your commercial business both compliant and accessible.
