When the team at Hollywood Casino in Grantville, PA reached out about restoring their sprawling 123,000-square-foot parking lot, they had a clear vision: improve the look, protect the surface, and keep things moving—literally.
This wasn’t just a simple maintenance job. It was a full-scale commercial refresh with high visibility and even higher expectations.
Our team at ProSeal Asphalt Maintenance Inc. stepped in to bring it back to life—without ever closing the doors.
A Careful Balance: Restoring While Staying Open
The first hurdle was scale.
At over 120,000 square feet, this lot serves both casino guests and employees around the clock. Shutting it all down wasn’t an option. We developed a phased plan to divide the lot into sections, working in rotation to allow continuous access while tackling one area at a time.
Once the staging was in place, we got to work on what would become a complete surface revival.
We began with an industrial-grade cleaning process, removing months of debris, dust, and automotive oils that could interfere with sealant bonding. Next came the cracks—some shallow, others more advanced.
Each one was cleaned, prepped, and filled to prevent future water intrusion.
In climates like Grantville’s, that step is critical; untreated cracks can quickly lead to potholes and base failure as water freezes and expands beneath the surface.
Clean Lines, Long-Term Protection
After the crackfilling cured, we moved on to sealcoating.
Applying a high-quality blacktop sealer across such a large area requires the right timing, tools, and weather conditions. Fortunately, our crew hit the sweet spot: warm enough for the material to cure smoothly, but not so hot that it would dry unevenly.
The transformation was immediate. The fresh, uniform sealcoat not only looked clean and professional—it also formed a protective barrier against UV rays, moisture, and everyday wear.
With the surface fully sealed, we transitioned to the final phase: line striping.
For a site like Hollywood Casino, precision matters. We re-laid hundreds of parking spaces, directional arrows, fire lanes, and ADA-compliant markings, ensuring everything was not only sharp and visible but also fully up to code.
Striping that size and scope doesn’t leave room for guesswork—so we didn’t.
Built to Last, Designed to Impress
By the end of the project, the casino’s parking lot looked brand new. The once-faded surface was now sleek and jet black. Cracks were sealed, lines were crisp, and traffic flow was clearly guided from every angle.
Most importantly, all of this was completed while the casino remained open for business, thanks to strategic planning and coordinated execution.
This wasn’t just a cosmetic upgrade.
It was a structural investment in one of the casino’s most visible—and heavily used—assets.
