Driveways, parking lots, sealcoating and resurfacing in Lake Orion. Family owned for over 30 years, owner supervised on every jobsite, free estimates.
Lake Orion is a village built around its lake, with Orion Township spreading out from it along M-24 (Lapeer Road) and the roads that thread between a dozen smaller lakes. The lake lots are the signature paving job here: narrow, often steep drives down to cottages that have become year-round homes, shared access roads serving a cluster of properties, and turnaround areas squeezed onto small parcels.
We have been paving in Lake Orion for over 30 years and we know the constraints. Access is tight, the ground near the water is often wet, and the finished drive has to shed water away from the house and the lake. Off the lakes, Orion Township's newer subdivisions and the commercial properties along M-24 and Baldwin Road need the same careful work at a larger scale.
The owner is on every Lake Orion job, which is exactly what you want on a difficult lake lot where the base and drainage decide whether the drive lasts.
Every service we offer is available in Lake Orion. Lake lots, shared access roads and the businesses along the main corridors 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. On Lake Orion's lake lots that means a base built for wet ground and a surface graded to shed water away from the house.
Parking lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and line striping for businesses of every size. For Lake Orion businesses along the main roads we phase the work so the lot stays open and customers keep parking.
Protective sealcoating, crack filling and routine maintenance that keep water out of the base and extend the life of the surface. On Lake Orion's shaded, wet lake drives it is the single most cost-effective thing you can do to make the surface last.
A new wearing course over an existing surface whose base is still sound, restoring a worn driveway or lot to like-new condition. Where a Lake Orion lake drive has a sound base under a worn surface, resurfacing restores it for far less than replacement.
Driveways, walkways, private roads and turnarounds for homeowners, built to carry real use and finished to match the property. In Lake Orion that includes narrow, steep and shared lake-lot drives built for wet ground and winter traction.
Recycled asphalt pavement, delivered, graded and compacted into a firm, dark surface for drives, yards and parking areas. For a long access drive or parking area on a Lake Orion lake property, millings give a firm, dust-free surface at a fraction of the cost.
Complete removal of a failed surface, correction and recompaction of the base, and installation of new asphalt. On Lake Orion lake lots where a thin old drive has broken up on wet ground, this is usually the honest answer.
Pothole repair and patching, crack filling and sealing, surface levelling and line striping for existing lots. For Lake Orion businesses that means quick pothole and section repair so the lot stays safe.
The water table around Lake Orion, Long Lake, Square Lake and the other lakes is high, and a driveway base that stays saturated will heave every winter and rut every spring. On lake lots we excavate deeper, add drainage aggregate and geotextile fabric, and grade the surface so runoff has somewhere to go that is not your foundation.
Slope is the second issue. Many lake drives drop steeply toward the water, and a steep asphalt drive needs proper compaction and a surface texture that gives traction in winter. We build them to hold and we recommend sealcoating on a regular cycle so the surface stays tight against the freeze-thaw cycle.
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.
Lake lots are where a driveway either lasts or fails, and it is decided at the base. The owner checks the ground, the base and the drainage on every job.
Three decades of paving around Southeast Michigan's lakes. Most of our Lake Orion work comes from referrals and repeat customers on the same lake.
We come out, look at the ground and the access, and tell you what the drive actually needs. No pressure, no surprises.
Deeper excavation, drainage aggregate and geotextile fabric where the site demands it. That is the difference between a lake drive that lasts and one that heaves.
We serve the Village of Lake Orion and all of Orion Township, including the lakefront communities on Lake Orion, Long Lake, Square Lake, Voorheis Lake and Elkhorn Lake, the neighbourhoods off Baldwin, Joslyn, Clarkston Road and Indianwood, and the commercial properties along M-24 and near Great Lakes Crossing.

The questions Lake Orion property owners ask us most, answered honestly.
Yes. Steep lake drives are a large part of our Orion work. We assess the grade and the ground, build the base to suit and finish the surface for traction and drainage.
We do, and we can provide a single quote for a group of neighbours who share the road.
Most lake-lot driveways are completed in one to two days depending on access and how much base work the ground needs. 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 come out, look at the ground and the access, and give you our honest recommendation while keeping your budget in mind.
