Driveways, parking lots, sealcoating and resurfacing in Southfield. Family owned for over 30 years, owner supervised on every jobsite, free estimates.
Southfield is the office capital of Oakland County, with high-rise towers and office parks along Northwestern Highway, the Lodge (M-10), I-696 and Telegraph, and a great deal of retail, medical and light industrial property across the city. Almost all of it sits on large parking lots, and those lots are a big part of what Asphalt Express LLC does in Southfield.
For commercial and institutional properties, we provide full parking lot paving and resurfacing, repair of failed sections and potholes, sealcoating, crack filling and line striping, planned and phased so tenants, employees and visitors always have somewhere to park. Large lots are divided into sections and completed one at a time; smaller lots can often be done over a weekend.
Southfield's residential neighbourhoods, mostly built from the 1950s to the 1970s, keep us busy too, with driveway replacement and resurfacing on homes that have outlived their original surface. The owner supervises every job.
Every service we offer is available in Southfield. Commercial and industrial lots are a large part of what we do here, and homeowners get the same owner-supervised crew on their driveways.
New asphalt surfaces for driveways, private roads and parking areas, from excavation and base construction through hot-mix installation and compaction. In Southfield that ranges from a single driveway to a complete commercial parking lot built for daily traffic.
Parking lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and line striping for businesses of every size. Southfield's commercial and industrial lots are a large part of what we do: phased paving, heavier construction where trucks run, and striping to finish.
Protective sealcoating, crack filling and routine maintenance that keep water out of the base and extend the life of the surface. For Southfield commercial lots we put sealcoating and crack filling on a schedule so small problems never become base failures.
A new wearing course over an existing surface whose base is still sound, restoring a worn driveway or lot to like-new condition. For a Southfield lot with a sound base, resurfacing delivers a new wearing course with minimal downtime.
Driveways, walkways, private roads and turnarounds for homeowners, built to carry real use and finished to match the property. Southfield's residential neighbourhoods get the same owner-supervised crew as our commercial work.
Recycled asphalt pavement, delivered, graded and compacted into a firm, dark surface for drives, yards and parking areas. For overflow parking, yards and storage areas in Southfield, millings provide a solid surface without the cost of hot mix.
Complete removal of a failed surface, correction and recompaction of the base, and installation of new asphalt. For a Southfield lot that has been patched for decades, replacement is often better value than another round of repairs.
Pothole repair and patching, crack filling and sealing, surface levelling and line striping for existing lots. For Southfield's busy commercial lots that means fast response to potholes and failures before they become liabilities.
Southfield is flat and largely clay, and large flat lots are the hardest surfaces to drain. Water that does not reach a drain sits in the low spots, works into the base, and creates the potholes and alligator cracking that spread across so many older Southfield lots. Grading toward drains is designed into every lot we build or resurface.
Traffic is the other factor. Office lots see constant turnover, drive lanes and entrances wear fastest, and heavier construction there is often worth the cost. A maintenance cycle of annual crack filling and sealcoating every two to three years keeps a lot out of the resurfacing budget for many years.
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.
Commercial lots fail at the base and at the drains. The owner checks both before the paver arrives and supervises the finish and the striping.
Three decades of paving for Southeast Michigan businesses. Many of our Southfield commercial customers have been with us through several resurfacing cycles.
We assess the lot, tell you what it needs and what can wait, and price phased work so you can plan the budget.
Heavier construction at entrances, drive lanes and loading areas, and a maintenance schedule that keeps the lot out of the resurfacing budget.
We serve all of Southfield, including the office corridors along Northwestern Highway, the Lodge, I-696, Telegraph, Evergreen and Lahser, the commercial areas on Twelve Mile, Ten Mile and Greenfield, and the residential neighbourhoods throughout the city.
