For parking lot striping The Colony TX property managers trust, C & D Commercial Services has been painting commercial lots since 1981. The Colony sits along Lewisville Lake in Denton County, and the city has been transformed by the Grandscape development along SH-121 — one of the largest mixed-use retail and entertainment developments in North Texas. Grandscape brings destination retail, dining, and entertainment that draw visitors from across the DFW area. The parking lots here handle some of the highest traffic volume in the northern corridor, and they need striping that can stand up to constant use.
C & D has been working in The Colony for years, especially as Grandscape has developed. We’ve striped lots at the Grandscape development, restriped retail properties along Main Street, and handled commercial buildings along the SH-121 frontage road. The destination traffic creates striping challenges — lots that fill to capacity on weekends and evenings, constant vehicle turnover, and the need to keep lots open during business hours.
The Colony’s commercial landscape is dominated by the Grandscape development, which creates traffic patterns unlike anywhere else in the northern DFW corridor.
Grandscape lots see heavy visitor traffic every day of the week. The retail, dining, and entertainment venues draw visitors from across DFW, and the lots fill to capacity on weekends and evenings. This constant vehicle turnover wears striping down faster than a typical retail lot. Standard acrylic traffic paint in these high-traffic locations holds up for about 12 to 18 months. For the busiest Grandscape lots, we recommend high-build paint or thermoplastic — the extra durability reduces restriping frequency for lots that are never empty.
Properties along Main Street and the older parts of The Colony see moderate traffic from local residents. Standard acrylic traffic paint holds up for about 18 to 24 months in these conditions. The traffic is steady but not at destination levels.
Lots along the SH-121 frontage road see commuter and through-traffic. These properties need durable striping that handles constant daily flow.
We start by walking the property with you. On Grandscape lots, we check for the wear patterns that destination traffic creates — concentrated turning areas, entry and exit lanes, and pedestrian crosswalk zones. On Main Street lots, we check for old paint buildup and ADA compliance gaps. On frontage road lots, we assess the traffic patterns and surface condition.
Then we prep the surface. For high-traffic Grandscape lots, we power clean thoroughly and schedule striping during off-hours — overnight or early morning. For Main Street lots, standard prep is sufficient. For frontage road lots, we blow off debris and power clean any oil stains.
The striping is done with an airless striping machine. For high-traffic Grandscape lots, we recommend high-build paint or thermoplastic. Thermoplastic fuses to the asphalt at a molecular level and lasts three to five times longer than standard paint — worth it for lots that are in use every day. For Main Street lots, standard acrylic is the right call.
When it comes to parking lot striping The Colony TX properties need, we also handle fire lane striping to The Colony Fire Department specifications. Destination retail areas need clear fire lane markings that don’t get lost in event-day traffic. We handle the whole thing so you pass inspection.
ADA striping isn’t just about painting a blue symbol on the ground. Learn more about ADA compliance requirements on the official ADA website. Texas requires van-accessible spaces with 96-inch wide access aisles, signage mounted at the correct height, and specific slope requirements on the path from parking to your building entrance. Destination retail areas like Grandscape need accessible parking for visitors from across DFW — it’s a legal requirement, not an option.
We bring lots into compliance — restriping accessible spaces to correct dimensions, adding or widening access aisles, installing proper signage. If you’re not sure whether your lot is compliant, we’ll walk it with you and tell you straight.
We don’t put prices on a website because every lot is different — a Grandscape destination lot costs differently from a Main Street property. What we can tell you is this: we’ve been buying striping paint and materials from the same DFW suppliers for over 40 years. Those relationships mean we get better material pricing than smaller contractors, and we pass that along. Property managers who compare our quotes typically find we come in lower.
Call us for a free estimate. We’ll walk your lot, measure it, and give you a straightforward number with no games attached.
How often should I restripe my lot near Grandscape?
High-traffic lots near Grandscape may need restriping every 12 to 18 months due to heavy visitor traffic. For the busiest lots, we recommend high-build paint or thermoplastic to reduce restriping frequency. Main Street lots can go 18 to 24 months. We’ll assess your lot and give you an honest recommendation.
Can you stripe Grandscape lots without closing?
Yes. For destination retail lots at Grandscape, we schedule striping during off-hours — overnight or early morning. We work in sections so the lot stays partially open. For these high-traffic lots, thermoplastic lasts three to five times longer than standard paint and reduces restriping frequency.
What's the difference between paint and thermoplastic?
Standard acrylic traffic paint is cost-effective, goes down fast, and lasts 12 to 24 months in The Colony conditions. High-build paint adds durability for high-traffic Grandscape lots. Thermoplastic fuses to the asphalt at a molecular level and lasts three to five times longer — worth it for destination lots that are never empty.
