Post: Best type of Rock for Parking Lot?

Quote from @Henry Clark:

Depends on your soil type

Hill country rock just grade.     

Black soil or sand.

3 inch clean rock or recycled concrete.  4 inches for base.  Wait till it rains then drive something heavy to pack it in.  Then 4 inches or 1 1/2 inch with the fines for the roads.  For the parking I would just use the 3 inch clean.  

Really recommend you use the engineer geogrid fabric for roads. The lay 4 inches of 1 1/2 inch with the fines.   Must be 1 1/2 or larger to work.  Smaller or pea gravel will work thru the mesh.  No potholes ever.  Don’t grade to deep though.

You will get weeds even in rock.  Mix both the 1 year pre emergent and the All kill and spray together. If you’re spraying and it is not dying you have water hemp.  Ask for a spray with strength 10 to 14 on the label and spray higher mix.   


 Thanks again for the great info!

You only geogrid the roads and not the parking? 

I got a quote for $2.15/sqft and the salesman said that I may not need a retention pond if I use enough of this stuff. 

Post: Are there work arounds for old deed restrictions on land?

Hello,

The deed restrictions on my land say no boat storage. However, there are multiple properties near by with boat storage. I do not live in a neighborhood and feel like these restrictions are so old they may no longer be valid. 

Hello,

I am in Montgomery County just North of Houston. I am looking for an attorney to help guide me through the development process. I am going to subdivide my property and add a lot for out door boat/rv storage. I will also need help drafting up a rental agreement. 

Based on this info does anyone have an estimate on how much it will cost in attorney fees?

What materials did you use/how did you layer them for your Boat/RV self storage parking lot? 

Have you had any issues?

Would you do anything differently?

How much do you typically spend on maintenance? 

Your input is greatly appreciated!

Does anyone have experience with a company in Montgomery County, Texas that could construct a rock parking lot for me? 

I am thinking I will need a weed barrier, base stone, pavers and compacted top stone. 

I'm working on getting an estimate for construction please let me know if I am missing anything.

Hello BP!

I am working on developing some land I have into Boat/RV parking. 

That being said....

1) What type of rock did you use? 

2) How was the lot layered?

3) Did you do anything to prevent weeds in the future?

I was considering crushed concrete but I'm not sure if that will be the best choice. 

Hello, 

I'm looking to develop 7 acres that I have (Free and Clear) into a self storage facility (Mainly Parking, not much Real Property). Would I be able to use my Single Family LTR as collateral in a DSCR loan for construction? I'm 1099 and my Fiancé just financed another rental and I'm not sure if we would qualify for a traditional loan.

Post: Feasibility Study for Outdoor Boat/RV Parking With Containers

Hello,

I have 7 acres near a major boat ramp that I am looking to develop. 

The area has grown 4.11% per year for the last 2 years according to the Census. With a major development up the road I expect this trend to continue. I am having trouble finding info on income growth does anyone have any input on where to find this data?

Does anyone have a Development Pro-Forma that I could look at? I don't know what I don't know and would love to learn for your experience/mistakes. The land does not have many trees, ground is relatively flat and the lot will be crushed concrete. 

I may make another post for these questions.

-Are Contractor Garages a good option to add to a storage facility/what is the typical square footage per capita needed?

-With Shipping Containers are you able to refinance the property once it's almost full or is it best to sell and buy something with Real Property?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Conroe is great! I have a couple properties in Conroe near 105 and they rent out quickly. I'm also a Realtor and have several clients/family members that have rentals in the area. As long as they're priced correctly they tend to rent out quickly.
