Driveways, parking lots, sealcoating and resurfacing in Berkley. Family owned for over 30 years, owner supervised on every jobsite, free estimates.
Berkley is one of the tighter-knit inner-ring suburbs in Oakland County, a compact grid of streets between Woodward Avenue and Greenfield Road where most homes were built in the 1920s through the 1950s. That vintage shapes the paving work: short, narrow driveways, many of them the original ribbon drives or long-since-patched replacements, running between houses that sit close together on modest lots.
Working in Berkley means working carefully. Driveways often share a property line with the neighbour's, there is usually a sidewalk and city approach to tie into, and there is rarely room to stage equipment anywhere but the street. Our crews are used to it. We plan the day so the truck and paver are in and out with minimal disruption, protect the adjoining lawn and sidewalk, and leave the approach clean.
Berkley homeowners also tend to be replacing a driveway that has simply reached the end of its life, rather than paving something new. We will tell you honestly whether the base underneath can be reused for a resurface or whether it has broken down and needs full removal and replacement.
Every service we offer is available in Berkley. Most of our work here is residential driveway replacement and resurfacing, but the businesses along the main roads get the same crew and the same standard.
New asphalt surfaces for driveways, private roads and parking areas, from excavation and base construction through hot-mix installation and compaction. In Berkley that is most often a full driveway replacement on a home that has outlived its original surface.
Parking lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and line striping for businesses of every size. For Berkley retail, office and service businesses we phase the work so parking is always available and finish with fresh striping.
Protective sealcoating, crack filling and routine maintenance that keep water out of the base and extend the life of the surface. For a Berkley subdivision driveway, sealing every two to three years is what keeps it out of the replacement budget.
A new wearing course over an existing surface whose base is still sound, restoring a worn driveway or lot to like-new condition. Many Berkley driveways from the 1980s and 90s are candidates: the base is fine, the surface is not.
Driveways, walkways, private roads and turnarounds for homeowners, built to carry real use and finished to match the property. In Berkley that is mostly driveway replacement and resurfacing in the established subdivisions.
Recycled asphalt pavement, delivered, graded and compacted into a firm, dark surface for drives, yards and parking areas. For a side drive, RV pad or long approach in Berkley, millings are a practical alternative to full paving.
Complete removal of a failed surface, correction and recompaction of the base, and installation of new asphalt. For a Berkley driveway with alligator cracking and sunken sections, the base has failed and replacement is the right call.
Pothole repair and patching, crack filling and sealing, surface levelling and line striping for existing lots. For Berkley businesses that means potholes fixed quickly, cracks sealed and striping refreshed.
Berkley sits on relatively flat, clay-heavy ground, and clay is the enemy of an asphalt driveway. It holds water, it heaves when it freezes, and it will push a poorly built base up in the winter and let it settle back unevenly in the spring. On older Berkley driveways that history is written in the surface: cracking that follows a pattern, edges that have dropped, and low spots that hold water after rain.
Our answer is to get the base right. On a replacement we remove the old asphalt, assess what is underneath, and compact a proper aggregate base before any hot mix goes down. On a driveway that still has a sound base, a resurface with attention to drainage toward the street can add many years of life for considerably less money.
Seasonal weight restrictions and road standards in Oakland County are set by the Road Commission for Oakland County; for hot-mix specifications we work to the Asphalt Pavement Association of Michigan guidance.
We look at the ground, the access and the drainage, and give you a free, honest estimate for what the job actually needs.
Excavate to the right depth, correct soft ground with fabric and aggregate, and compact a base that will not move.
Shape the surface so water sheds away from the house, the lake or the building, and toward ground that can take it.
Hot mix placed at the right temperature and rolled to spec while it is workable, with clean edges and transitions.
Striping where needed, a clean site, and a sealing schedule so the surface stays tight through Michigan winters.
The owner checks the base before the paver arrives and the finish before we leave. That is how our standard stays consistent across hundreds of driveways.
