Family owned. Owner supervised. Hartland driveways and lots.
Hartland Township is directly west of our Highland base along M-59, and it is a place we reach in minutes. It has grown quickly around the M-59 and US-23 interchange, with new subdivisions and commercial development filling in, but much of the township is still rural: large lots, long driveways off gravel and paved roads, and lake properties around the many lakes toward the township's edges.
That mix is what Asphalt Express LLC has paved in Hartland for over 30 years. We build long rural drives and private roads that can carry trucks and trailers, new and replacement drives in the subdivisions, and lake-lot drives on wet ground. We handle the commercial lots along M-59 and near the interchange, phased so the business stays open. And we offer asphalt millings as a durable, affordable option for long rural drives.
Every service we offer is available in Hartland. 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 Hartland 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 Hartland'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 Hartland 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 Hartland 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 Hartland 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 Hartland'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 Hartland 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 Hartland businesses and farms that means prompt repair of potholes, failed sections and edges.
Local Conditions
Paving in Hartland: the ground and the weather.
Hartland's ground is glacial and varied: sandy, well-drained high ground beside wet, low ground near the lakes and streams. A long drive can cross both, and we build the base for the soft sections with deeper excavation, drainage aggregate and geotextile fabric where the ground demands it.
Rural drives take a beating from winter. Plow blades catch unsupported edges, shaded stretches stay frozen longer, and unsealed surfaces lose fines and ravel. We build edges that hold and recommend regular sealcoating.
We look at the ground, the access and the drainage, and give you a free, honest estimate for what the job actually needs.
Prepare the base
Excavate to the right depth, correct soft ground with fabric and aggregate, and compact a base that will not move.
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.
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.
Finish and protect
Striping where needed, a clean site, and a sealing schedule so the surface stays tight through Michigan winters.

The questions Hartland property owners ask us most, answered honestly.
How quickly can you reach a Hartland job?
Very quickly. Hartland borders our Highland base along M-59, so estimates and scheduling are among the fastest we offer.
Should I use millings or hot-mix asphalt for a long Hartland drive?
Hot-mix asphalt gives the smoothest, longest-lasting surface; millings give a firm, dust-free surface at a much lower cost. We will price both.
How long does a long rural drive take?
It depends on length and base work. Many are completed in two to three days. We confirm the schedule when we quote.
When can I drive on the new surface?
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.
Do you provide free estimates in Hartland?
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.
