How We Transformed an Entire Church Campus—One Lot, Pad, and Walkway at a Time

At Our Lady of the Presentation Catholic Church in Lee’s Summit, the grounds are more than parking spaces and sidewalks—they’re where families gather, children play, and the community comes together.

When the church reached out about their aging pavement and concrete, they weren’t just asking for asphalt repairs. They wanted a campus that looked clean, felt safe, and could stand up to years of daily use.

At Gann Asphalt & Concrete, Inc., we were ready to make it happen—with a careful, phased plan that touched every corner of the property.

Step 1: Restoring Strength to the North Parking Lot

The north parking lot was one of the most used—and most worn—areas on site. Instead of a full reconstruction, we performed an asphalt mill and overlay. Milling removed the damaged top layer while preserving the stable base.

Then we installed a fresh overlay for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

This approach saved the church time and money without sacrificing quality.

More importantly, it gave them a strong, attractive lot built to handle heavy traffic and Missouri’s changing seasons.

Step 2: Upgrading the Concrete Where It Counts

Next, we turned our attention to the concrete elements around campus.

First up was the playground pad. We replaced the old surface with a durable new concrete pad, providing a safer, more reliable foundation for kids at play.

We also replaced the concrete apron near high-traffic entrances and poured new sidewalk sections and an office pad. These upgrades not only fixed wear-and-tear but made the church more accessible for visitors of all ages.

Step 3: Preserving the South Lot and Playground

With the heavy lifting done, we shifted focus to protection. The south lot and playground area received crack filling, followed by a full sealcoat to guard against water damage and UV wear.

We finished with fresh striping, bringing bright, organized parking lines back to life.

This final phase made a huge visual impact and gave the property the polished, professional look it deserved.

Why We Took a Phased Approach

Large properties like churches need more than a one-size-fits-all fix.

Each area has a different level of use, exposure, and wear.

By breaking this project into stages, we were able to use the right materials and methods in each section—maximizing both value and performance.

It also meant less disruption for the church. We coordinated with their schedule to ensure services, events, and programs could continue uninterrupted throughout the work.
