Oakland County · 48009, 48012

Family owned. Owner supervised. Birmingham driveways and lots.

Birmingham combines a walkable, busy downtown along Old Woodward and Maple with some of the most carefully kept residential streets in Oakland County. Both halves of the city need asphalt done properly. Downtown, that means parking lots and rear access lots for shops, offices and restaurants that have to look right and stay open. In the neighbourhoods, it means driveways and private drives that match the standard of the homes they serve.

We have paved for Birmingham property owners for decades, and the expectation here is high. Clean edges against brick and stone, drainage that keeps water away from foundations, and a finished surface with a consistent, even texture. Our crews are used to working around landscaping, mature trees and tight access on the older lots between Woodward and Cranbrook Road, and around customers and deliveries on commercial jobs downtown.

For businesses, we plan the work around your hours. Lots can usually be phased so part of the parking stays open, and we can schedule evening or weekend work when that is what keeps your doors open.

Our Services

Paving services for Birmingham, MI.

Every service we offer is available in Birmingham. Commercial and industrial lots are a large part of what we do here, and homeowners get the same owner-supervised crew on their driveways.

Asphalt Paving in Birmingham

New asphalt surfaces for driveways, private roads and parking areas, from excavation and base construction through hot-mix installation and compaction. In Birmingham that ranges from a single driveway to a complete commercial parking lot built for daily traffic.

Commercial Parking Lots in Birmingham

Parking lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and line striping for businesses of every size. Birmingham's commercial and industrial lots are a large part of what we do: phased paving, heavier construction where trucks run, and striping to finish.

Sealcoating & Maintenance in Birmingham

Protective sealcoating, crack filling and routine maintenance that keep water out of the base and extend the life of the surface. For Birmingham commercial lots we put sealcoating and crack filling on a schedule so small problems never become base failures.

Asphalt Resurfacing in Birmingham

A new wearing course over an existing surface whose base is still sound, restoring a worn driveway or lot to like-new condition. For a Birmingham lot with a sound base, resurfacing delivers a new wearing course with minimal downtime.

Residential Paving in Birmingham

Driveways, walkways, private roads and turnarounds for homeowners, built to carry real use and finished to match the property. Birmingham's residential neighbourhoods get the same owner-supervised crew as our commercial work.

Asphalt Millings in Birmingham

Recycled asphalt pavement, delivered, graded and compacted into a firm, dark surface for drives, yards and parking areas. For overflow parking, yards and storage areas in Birmingham, millings provide a solid surface without the cost of hot mix.

Removal & Replacement in Birmingham

Complete removal of a failed surface, correction and recompaction of the base, and installation of new asphalt. For a Birmingham lot that has been patched for decades, replacement is often better value than another round of repairs.

Parking Lot Repair in Birmingham

Pothole repair and patching, crack filling and sealing, surface levelling and line striping for existing lots. For Birmingham's busy commercial lots that means fast response to potholes and failures before they become liabilities.

Local Conditions

Paving in Birmingham: the ground and the weather.

Much of Birmingham was built out before modern drainage standards, and that shows up in paving. Older driveways were often laid thin on minimal base, and many commercial lots have been patched repeatedly over the years. When we assess a Birmingham surface we are looking at what is under it as much as what is on top, because a fresh overlay on a failed base is money wasted.

The freeze-thaw cycle in this part of Oakland County is relentless, and the volume of traffic on downtown lots adds wear on top of the weather. For commercial properties we recommend a maintenance cycle: crack filling every year, sealcoating every two to three, and prompt pothole repair so small failures do not become base failures.

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.

How We Work

The same five steps on every Birmingham job.

  1. Walk the site and quote

    We look at the ground, the access and the drainage, and give you a free, honest estimate for what the job actually needs.

  2. Prepare the base

    Excavate to the right depth, correct soft ground with fabric and aggregate, and compact a base that will not move.

  3. Grade for drainage

    Shape the surface so water sheds away from the house, the lake or the building, and toward ground that can take it.

  4. Lay and compact the asphalt

    Hot mix placed at the right temperature and rolled to spec while it is workable, with clean edges and transitions.

  5. Finish and protect

    Striping where needed, a clean site, and a sealing schedule so the surface stays tight through Michigan winters.

We assess the lot, tell you what it needs and what can wait, and price phased work so you can plan the budget.

FAQs

Birmingham paving questions, straight answers.

The questions Birmingham property owners ask us most, answered honestly.

Can you pave a downtown Birmingham lot without closing my business?

Usually, yes. We phase the work so part of the lot stays usable, and we can schedule around your busiest hours or work evenings and weekends. We will agree the plan with you before we start.

Do you handle the line striping after paving a Birmingham parking lot?

Yes. Striping, accessible-space markings and directional arrows are part of our commercial parking lot work, so you get one contractor from base to finished markings.

How long does a commercial lot take in Birmingham?

It depends on size and phasing. Small lots can be done over a weekend; large lots are phased over several days so parking stays available. We agree the plan with you before we start.

Can you work outside business hours?

Yes. We routinely schedule evenings and weekends for Birmingham businesses so the lot stays open when you need it.

Do you provide free estimates in Birmingham?

Yes. Every estimate is free. We assess the lot, tell you what it needs and what can wait, and price it honestly.
