Commercial Asphalt in Sherwood, AR
Sealcoating, striping and asphalt repair for retail, church and school property across Sherwood and the US 67/167 corridor.
Sherwood is largely a residential city with its commercial property gathered along the main corridors, which means the lots are mostly retail strips, churches, schools and service businesses rather than industrial surfaces. Those wear steadily rather than violently, and they respond well to being maintained on a cycle.
Arkansas Pavement covers the whole cycle: paving, repair, crack filling, sealcoating and striping. On a lot like these, the work is usually the middle of that list.
Commercial asphalt is priced off the surface itself, so the quote follows a walk of the property rather than a phone call. The estimate is free.
Steady traffic, and the failures start at the edges
On a retail strip lot the middle of the mat is often in better shape than the perimeter. Water leaves a surface at the curb line, and the edge is where it sits, works in, and starts lifting the asphalt from underneath. Edge breakup and the first row of stalls against the curb are usually the honest first look on a property like this.
Sherwood is about an hour from the Hattieville yard, up US 67/167 from North Little Rock. It sits in the same run as Jacksonville and North Little Rock, which often makes it possible to plan work in that direction together.
Sherwood sits in Pulaski County. We work out of Hattieville, AR.
Planted islands, curb inlets, and a lot that is quiet at midday
Suburban retail lots are broken up by planted islands, and those islands are where the pavement starts to go. Soil beside asphalt that gets watered all summer stays damp under the edge of the mat, and damp base does not hold weight the way dry base does. The asphalt around an island settles slightly, cracks in a curve that follows the curb, then comes apart under the first wheel that rides over it. Mulch and clippings washing out of those islands block the inlet the lot drains to.
The traffic here has a shape you can work with. Neighborhood-facing commercial property gets a morning push, an evening push, a busy Sunday at the churches, and a genuinely slow midweek middle. Wear gathers at the entrance and the first turn instead of spreading across the parking field, and there is a usable Tuesday window that not every property can offer.

Reviews from our Google Business Profile, listed under Brice Contracting, and under Straight and Narrow Striping before that. Same company, same crews, same phone number.
Brice Contracting did a great job sealcoating our driveway. Prompt, efficient, good communication, good price, thank you gentlemen!
Austin and his team communicated clearly on how repairs and seal coating would be done. This was a large project. They stayed within budget and had exceptional follow up.
Brice did an excellent job redoing our church parking lot, it looks so nice and clean. I highly recommend Brice Contracting for your job!
We needed some speed bumps installed in our parking lot. Brice made sure all of our needs were met, and went the extra mile to make us satisfied. His crew was timely, clean, and polite. On top of that, the work was done at a great price. Highly recommend.
Quality Work and Excellent Service! Austin was very communicative while developing the plan and executing the work.
Austin and Ethan showed up earlier than expected and took so much pride in their work. It looks amazing.

Sherwood questions, straight answers
The edges of our lot are crumbling. Can that be patched?
Usually yes. Edge breakup is common and it is often confined to one stretch, which means the failed material comes out and that section gets rebuilt while the rest of the surface gets crack filling and a seal. It is worth dealing with early, because an open edge is a direct route for water into the base.
How often should a lot like ours be sealed?
It depends on traffic, drainage and how the last coat was prepped, which is why anyone quoting an interval over the phone is guessing. What we can tell you on the walk is what the current surface is doing and whether it is due, and that answer is free.
The pavement around our landscape islands keeps breaking up. Why there?
Water, and usually from the irrigation rather than the sky. A planting bed watered on a timer keeps feeding the ground it sits in, and that ground runs on under the edge of the mat. Base that never dries out cannot carry what dry base carries. Fixing the asphalt without changing how much water goes into the bed tends to buy the same repair a second time.
Our church lot is used twice a week. Does it still need maintenance on a schedule?
Yes, because sun and water age asphalt whether or not anyone drives on it. A lightly used surface oxidizes, gets brittle and opens at the joints on roughly the same calendar as a busy one, it just does not rut. So a quiet lot can look tired sooner than anybody expects, and the interval follows what the surface is doing rather than how many cars use it.
Half our lot was replaced a few years ago and half is original. Do we treat them the same?
They are two different surfaces, handled on one visit. New asphalt is normally left to cure through a season before its first seal, and the older half often needs crack filling the new half does not. Expect them to look slightly different after sealing as well, since older pavement absorbs more.
Also serving North Little Rock, Jacksonville, Little Rock and Cabot. See everywhere we work.
