Concrete is extremely strong, diverse, low-maintenance, and resistant to damage. A well constructed and maintained concrete installation can easily last 20-30 years. The country's first concrete street, laid in Bellefontaine, OH, in 1891, is still in service today!

GPM is well equipped and experienced with concrete paving projects of all sizes - commercial, industrial, and residential. GPM offers a wide array of concrete projects to suit your style and needs.
Regular maintenance is an essential part of any effort to maximize the life of your asphalt paving - and sealcoating should be at the heart of any maintenance plan. Sealcoating is the application of a liquid coating that hardens and provides a protective seal against much of the common damage that impacts asphalt surfaces. The sealcoat itself consists of asphaltic emulsion mixed with inert fillers, water, emulsifying agents, and additives. Sealcoating is an economical solution to protect asphalt against ongoing damage while extending the life of the pavement and avoiding costly repairs.
Asphalt cracks are normal and occur over time. Eventually, unsealed cracks will lead to sub-base failure, resulting in extremely costly repairs. Crack sealing is a cost-efficient solution that can last for years. Properly done, crack sealing inhibits water penetration and stops a crack from getting larger. Crack sealing is inexpensive compared to major repairs, and can be done quickly, at any time of the year. The experts at GPM will help you create a practical plan to stop cracks from turning into more serious issues down the road.
Pavement projects typically need to be finished off with some type of marking or striping to help manage the flow of traffic. Please remember, there are many ADA compliance regulations that govern pavement markings, which means it's important to get the job done right — the first time. GPM knows federal and state laws and the most practical and cost-efficient ways to comply with them. These laws change often, and we leverage technology, information, and education in order to stay on top of the adjustments.
