Tell us about your project and we will get right back to you.
A car cutting through a parking lot at 30 mph past a daycare door is a problem waiting to happen. We hear about it constantly from property owners along the Battlefield Road corridor, where drivers use retail lots as shortcuts.
Signs rarely change driver behavior. Pavement does. That's why speed bump installation Springfield MO property owners request is usually the fastest fix for a lot where cars won't slow down, and it's work we do year round.
Our team builds asphalt speed bumps and speed humps to spec, with the right height and taper so traffic slows without scraping bumpers or rattling suspensions. We're family owned, licensed and insured, and we work out of 434 S Belcrest Ave serving Springfield and Greene County.
Free written estimate, no obligation. Call or text (417) 319-2693 and we'll walk the property with you.
Before we quote anything, we figure out which shape fits. Speed bump installation and speed hump installation solve the same problem at different speeds and different distances.
| Feature | Speed Bump | Speed Hump |
|---|---|---|
| Typical height | 3 to 4 inches | 3 to 4 inches |
| Travel length | 1 to 3 feet | 10 to 14 feet |
| Target speed | 5 to 10 mph | 15 to 20 mph |
| Best use | Tight lots, drive aisles | Private roads, long loops |
| Driver feel | Sharp, immediate | Gradual rise and fall |
| Springfield use | Retail and church lots | HOA and apartment roads |
Short answer: tight parking lots and drive aisles usually call for bumps. Longer private roads, HOA loops and apartment access drives do better with humps, since emergency vehicles and delivery trucks can cross them without bottoming out.

Site walk and placement plan. We look at traffic flow, sight lines and drainage paths, then mark where drivers actually speed. Placement matters more than most people expect.
Surface prep. The area gets swept clean and tacked so the new asphalt bonds to the existing surface instead of peeling loose after a hot August week.
Forming and paving. Hot mix goes down in a controlled profile, shaped by hand and screed to hold consistent height across the full width.
Compaction. We roll each bump while the mix is still hot. Weak compaction is the number one reason cheap bumps crumble at the edges within a season.
Cure time. Traffic stays off for a short window, usually the rest of the day, and we set cones so nobody drives across fresh material.
High visibility striping. Yellow or white chevrons go on the face so drivers see the bump before they feel it. Add signage and the lot reads clearly at night.
Springfield gets freeze and thaw swings that flat pavement handles better than raised features. Water sitting against a bump edge in January will find its way in and lift the material. So we build with drainage in mind. Bumps get placed to let water pass rather than pond against them, and on lots with heavy clay subgrade we check that the base underneath isn't already moving. If the existing asphalt is alligator cracked or spongy, patching that section first is the honest recommendation, not stacking new material on a failing base.
Larger private drives and community roads often need base repair or full sections rebuilt before traffic calming makes sense. Our road construction services in Springfield cover grading, base work and new asphalt on private roadways.
Every bump we install gets marked. If the rest of the lot is faded, our parking lot striping and line marking crew can restripe stalls, crosswalks and ADA spaces in the same visit.
Adding bumps to a lot that's due for resurfacing? Pave first, then install. It saves a mobilization and the bumps bond to fresh material.
Price depends on how many you need, the width of the drive and whether striping or signage is included. Most lots fall into a predictable range, and we put every number in a written estimate before any work starts.
Most parking lot installs finish in a single day. Larger private roads with several humps may run two days, and we schedule around your business hours where possible.
Not when it's built right. Height and taper are what matter. Bumps that are too tall or too abrupt cause complaints, which is why we build to established spec instead of eyeballing it.
Private lots and private roads usually don't require one, though HOAs and some commercial properties have internal approval steps. We'll tell you what applies before we mobilize.
Yes. Asphalt bumps can be installed on concrete with proper prep and bonding, and we'll inspect the surface first to confirm it's a good candidate.
Reach out and you'll get an on site walkthrough, placement recommendations for your specific traffic pattern, and a written estimate with no obligation attached. We'll tell you whether bumps or humps fit your property and what the timeline looks like.
Springfield lots don't get safer on their own. Call or text (417) 319-2693, or send details through our Springfield asphalt contact page, and our team will get you scheduled.
