Driveways, parking lots, sealcoating and resurfacing in Oakland Township. Family owned for over 30 years, owner supervised on every jobsite, free estimates.
Oakland Township is one of the most sought-after residential areas in the county, and it is defined by space: large lots, wooded and rolling land along Paint Creek and Stony Creek, estate homes set well back from the road, and a township that has deliberately kept its rural character. The driveways match. Long, often curving, frequently crossing a change in grade, and expected to look as good as the home at the end of them.
That is precisely the work Asphalt Express LLC has done in Oakland Township for over 30 years. We build long private drives with proper base construction and drainage, motor courts and turnaround areas, and shared private roads for the small clusters of homes that sit off the main township roads. Owner supervision is standard, because on a property like this the base, the grades and the finish all have to be right.
We also offer asphalt millings for the township's more rural properties where a long drive needs a durable surface without the cost of full hot-mix asphalt.
Every service we offer is available in Oakland Township. 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 Oakland Township 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 Oakland Township'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 Oakland Township 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 Oakland Township 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 Oakland Township 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 Oakland Township'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 Oakland Township 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 Oakland Township businesses and farms that means prompt repair of potholes, failed sections and edges.
Oakland Township's terrain is rolling and wooded, with a mix of well-drained glacial ridges and low, wet ground along the creeks. Long drives frequently cross both, and the base has to be built for the soft sections rather than the easy ones. Grading is critical: a long drive carries a lot of water, and it must be shaped to shed it to the sides rather than deliver it to the house.
Tree cover keeps drives shaded, wet and frozen longer, which accelerates freeze-thaw damage. We recommend crack filling annually and sealcoating every two to three years so a long, expensive drive 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.

It depends on length and base work. Many are completed in two to three days. We confirm the schedule when we quote.
