Driveways, parking lots, sealcoating and resurfacing in Waterford. Family owned for over 30 years, owner supervised on every jobsite, free estimates.
Waterford Township is the lake township of Oakland County, with more than thirty lakes inside its borders and neighbourhoods threaded between them along Dixie Highway, M-59, Telegraph, Cass-Elizabeth and Airport Road. It is a short run east from our base in Highland, and it is one of the communities we pave most.
The work is a mix. Lakefront and near-lake properties have the classic lake-lot challenges: narrow drives, wet ground, tight access and a surface that must shed water away from the house and the water. The township's established subdivisions need driveway replacement and resurfacing on homes now 40 to 70 years old. And the commercial corridors along Dixie Highway, M-59 and Telegraph need lot repair, sealcoating and striping on a schedule that keeps businesses open.
Asphalt Express LLC has done all of it in Waterford for over 30 years, with the owner on every job.
Every service we offer is available in Waterford. 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 Waterford'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 Waterford 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 Waterford'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 Waterford 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 Waterford 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 Waterford 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 Waterford 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 Waterford businesses that means quick pothole and section repair so the lot stays safe.
Water defines Waterford. With so many lakes and so much low ground between them, a high water table is common, and a driveway base that stays saturated will heave every winter and rut every spring. On lake-area lots we excavate deeper, add drainage aggregate and geotextile fabric, and grade the surface so runoff has a proper path.
The township's older subdivision driveways were often built thin on minimal base, and decades of freeze-thaw have broken many of them down. We assess honestly whether a drive can be resurfaced or needs removal and replacement, and we recommend regular sealcoating for every surface we build.
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 Waterford 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 all of Waterford Township, including the lake communities on Cass Lake, Elizabeth Lake, Loon Lake, Lotus Lake, Maceday Lake, Van Norman Lake and Watkins Lake, the neighbourhoods off Dixie Highway, M-59, Telegraph, Airport Road, Hatchery Road and Cass-Elizabeth, and the commercial properties along the main corridors.
