Driveways, parking lots, sealcoating and resurfacing in Livonia. Family owned for over 30 years, owner supervised on every jobsite, free estimates.
Livonia is one of the largest cities in Wayne County, a grid of mile roads from Five Mile to Eight Mile filled with subdivisions of ranches, colonials and bungalows built mostly in the 1950s and 1960s, and busy commercial and industrial corridors along Plymouth Road, Middlebelt, Farmington Road, Seven Mile and the I-96 and I-275 interchanges.
That housing vintage makes Livonia one of the busiest places we pave. Original driveways from the 1950s and 60s are long gone, and many replacements are now themselves 20 to 30 years old. Asphalt Express LLC assesses the base honestly, tells you whether the drive can be resurfaced or needs removal and replacement, and builds a driveway that lasts. On the commercial side we handle full lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and striping, phased so the business stays open.
The owner supervises every job.
Every service we offer is available in Livonia. 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 Livonia 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 Livonia 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 Livonia 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 Livonia 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 Livonia 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 Livonia, 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 Livonia 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 Livonia businesses that means potholes fixed quickly, cracks sealed and striping refreshed.
Livonia is flat and largely clay, which means standing water and frost heave are the main enemies of a driveway or lot. Drainage has to be designed in because the ground will not take water on its own, and a properly compacted aggregate base is what keeps the surface from heaving.
Approaches take the most abuse. The transition from driveway to street carries the traffic and the plow damage, and it is often the first part to fail. We rebuild approaches with attention to grade so the joint stays tight and water drains to the gutter.
Seasonal weight restrictions and road standards in Wayne County are set by the Wayne County Roads Division; 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.
Three decades of paving Southeast Michigan's neighbourhoods. Most of our Livonia work comes from referrals on the same street.
We tell you whether your driveway can be resurfaced or needs replacement, and we will not sell you the bigger job if the smaller one will hold.
Most Livonia driveways are completed in a single day, with the approach, sidewalk and lawn protected and the site left clean.
We serve all of Livonia, from Five Mile to Eight Mile and from Inkster Road to Haggerty, including the subdivisions off Six Mile, Seven Mile, Newburgh, Farmington Road, Merriman and Middlebelt, and the commercial and industrial corridors along Plymouth Road, Schoolcraft, I-96 and I-275.

The questions Livonia property owners ask us most, answered honestly.
Almost always the base. If the original base was thin or has broken down, each new surface fails the same way. We fix the base first.
Yes, phased to keep the lot open, with striping included.
Most subdivision driveways are completed in a single day. Removal and replacement with base work can take two. 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, assess the base and give you our honest recommendation while keeping your budget in mind.
