Driveways, parking lots, sealcoating and resurfacing in Bloomfield Hills. Family owned for over 30 years, owner supervised on every jobsite, free estimates.
Bloomfield Hills is a community of large, wooded lots, long private drives and estate properties, and it asks more of a paving contractor than a typical suburb. A driveway here may run several hundred feet from the road, curve through mature trees, cross a change in grade and arrive at a motor court that has to look as good as the house it serves.
That is the kind of work Asphalt Express LLC has been doing in Bloomfield Hills for over 30 years. Owner supervision matters on these jobs. The owner is on site to check the base, the grades and the drainage before the paver arrives, and again as the surface is finished, because there is no acceptable version of getting it nearly right on a property like this.
Access, landscaping and privacy are part of the job here; our crews protect plantings, keep equipment on the drive and leave the property clean.
Every service we offer is available in Bloomfield Hills. Long rural drives, private roads, farm and business lots and the occasional subdivision driveway each need something a little different, and we do all of it with the same owner-supervised crew.
New asphalt surfaces for driveways, private roads and parking areas, from excavation and base construction through hot-mix installation and compaction. In Bloomfield Hills that usually means a long drive on a properly built base that can carry trucks, trailers and equipment.
Parking lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and line striping for businesses of every size. For Bloomfield Hills's businesses, farms and commercial properties we build lots and yards that carry real loads and schedule around your hours.
Protective sealcoating, crack filling and routine maintenance that keep water out of the base and extend the life of the surface. On a long Bloomfield Hills drive that takes plow damage every winter, regular sealing and crack filling are far cheaper than the repairs they prevent.
A new wearing course over an existing surface whose base is still sound, restoring a worn driveway or lot to like-new condition. On a long Bloomfield Hills drive with a base that is still solid, resurfacing is the economical way to get a like-new surface.
Driveways, walkways, private roads and turnarounds for homeowners, built to carry real use and finished to match the property. In Bloomfield Hills that includes long private drives, shared roads for a few homes and turnaround areas.
Recycled asphalt pavement, delivered, graded and compacted into a firm, dark surface for drives, yards and parking areas. For Bloomfield Hills's long rural drives, millings are a genuinely popular choice: durable, affordable and far better than loose gravel.
Complete removal of a failed surface, correction and recompaction of the base, and installation of new asphalt. On a long Bloomfield Hills drive where the base has failed, we remove the old surface, rebuild the base and start fresh.
Pothole repair and patching, crack filling and sealing, surface levelling and line striping for existing lots. For Bloomfield Hills businesses and farms that means prompt repair of potholes, failed sections and edges.
The terrain in Bloomfield Hills is genuinely hilly by Southeast Michigan standards, with lakes and low ground between the ridges. Long drives often carry water downhill toward the house, and a driveway that does not manage that water will fail at the low end first and can send runoff toward a foundation. Grading, crowning and edge drainage are designed into every drive we build here.
Tree cover is the other factor. Shaded drives stay wet and frozen longer, which accelerates freeze-thaw damage, and roots can lift a surface over time. We account for both in the base design and we recommend sealcoating on a regular cycle so the surface stays protected.
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.
On a long drive the base and the grades decide everything. The owner walks every site and is there when the asphalt goes down.

The questions Bloomfield Hills property owners ask us most, answered honestly.
Yes. Long private drives with turning areas and courts are the majority of our Bloomfield Hills work. We handle grading, drainage, base construction and finishing, and we can add defined edges or transitions to stone and pavers.
We plan equipment routes before the job starts, protect lawn edges and beds, and keep trucks and the paver on the drive itself. Where roots are close to the surface we discuss options with you rather than simply paving over them.
It depends on length and base work. Many are completed in two to three days. We confirm the schedule when we quote.
Foot traffic is usually fine within a day. We ask you to keep vehicles off for a few days while the asphalt cures, and we will confirm the exact timing for your job.
Yes. Every estimate is free. We walk the drive, identify the soft sections and give you our honest recommendation while keeping your budget in mind.
