Charlotte construction specifications are dictated by two local realities most national vendors ignore. First, climate: Humid subtropical Piedmont with red clay runoff concerns and occasional ice. Second, subgrade: Saprolite and residual red clay — subgrade compaction and drainage drive lot life. Full-depth construction requires 55°F+ ambient for asphalt mat placement. Typical performance in Charlotte: 20-25 years with proper subbase and sealcoat maintenance. Wins Parking writes these conditions into the scope before a single crew mobilizes, which is why Charlotte assets we touch outlast lots built to generic out-of-region specs.
