When a school’s sports facility sees regular action from both athletes and fans, it’s not just the field that needs maintenance. At Brimfield School in Brimfield, IL, the adjacent parking lot had started showing signs of wear—faded lines, tired asphalt, and a layout that could use a refresh.
With summer offering a brief window to get the job done, our team at Perdue Pavement Solutions stepped in to give the lot the attention it deserved.
Timing Was Everything
Like many school-related projects, this one came with a tight deadline.
We needed to complete all work during the summer break while students were off campus and the fields weren’t in active use. Our crew worked efficiently to ensure there was no disruption to the school’s broader operations or to the condition of the surrounding fields and walkways.
The location itself came with unique considerations. The lot sits between Brimfield School’s track and its baseball field, and it supports a constant flow of traffic during the school year—not just for student pickup, but also for community games and events.
That meant functionality and safety were just as important as visual appeal.
From Faded and Cracked to Clean and Clear
We started with a full sealcoating of the existing asphalt surface.
This step not only restores the look of the pavement but also protects it from further damage caused by UV rays, rain, and Midwest seasonal shifts. With the surface sealed and cured, we moved on to striping.
The new layout features bright, high-contrast yellow lines designed for optimal visibility. We added standard parking stalls, ADA-compliant spaces for accessibility, directional arrows to guide traffic, and clearly marked safety zones.
These small touches make a big difference in flow and safety—especially when large groups are arriving for sports games or school events.
A Lot That Works as Hard as the School It Serves
Now that the job is complete, the sports complex has a sharp, professional finish that matches the school’s pride in its athletic programs. The refreshed lot improves daily usability, makes events smoother to manage, and reduces confusion for drivers and pedestrians alike.
We take pride in jobs like this—where function meets finish, and where smart timing makes a lasting impact. For Brimfield School, it’s more than a parking lot. It’s the welcome mat for their community.
