Large lots and resort parking
Big lots have their own problems. Traffic has to flow in one direction, buses and trucks need room, and walkways have to be clear. Straight Line Services draws up new traffic layouts and stripes lots of all sizes on new or sealed asphalt. We mark fire lanes and no-parking zones, paint arrows and stop bars, and paint yellow safety lines where people walk.
ADA counts scale with lot size. A lot of 501 to 1,000 spaces needs 2 percent of its spaces accessible. Over 1,000 spaces, the rule is 20 plus 1 for each additional 100. At least one of every six accessible spaces has to be van accessible, and each van space gets two signs. We lay out the stalls, the symbols and the striped access aisles.
Land work in Tunica County
Tunica County is flat, low Delta farmland near the river, and much of it is heavy clay. Flat clay ground does not drain on its own, so pads, yards and drives have to be built and graded with a plan for the water. We haul in fill, spread it and shape house and shop pads. We grade yards with a laser level and do grading and drainage work around buildings.
Wooded river-bottom tracts and field edges come up for clearing, and many get used for hunting. B&M clears lots and tracts out of thick timber with the timber pushed into windrows, select clears to keep the good trees, and cuts lanes and trails wide enough for a truck and trailer. We dig ponds and dirt pits with an excavator and dump truck on site.
Permits around Tunica
For work inside the Town of Tunica, check with Tunica Town Hall about permits. Tunica Resorts is an unincorporated community, so for work there and elsewhere outside town, check with Tunica County. Large commercial properties often have their own requirements too, so ask the owner or property manager before we put the job on the calendar.
Mississippi law requires notifying 811 before excavation so buried utilities get marked. Any job that disturbs 1 acre or more falls under MDEQ construction stormwater rules, with one permit for 1 to less than 5 acres and another for 5 acres and up. Before burning brush, check local ordinances, MDEQ guidelines and any county burn ban.
