Driveways, parking lots, sealcoating and resurfacing in Wolverine Lake. Family owned for over 30 years, owner supervised on every jobsite, free estimates.
Wolverine Lake is a small village wrapped around the lake of the same name, tucked between Commerce Township and Walled Lake. Nearly every property is a lake lot or close to one, and the driveways are what you would expect: short to medium drives on modest lots, many of them originally built for summer cottages, now serving year-round homes that have been rebuilt or expanded over the decades.
Asphalt Express LLC has paved in Wolverine Lake for over 30 years. The typical job is a driveway replacement on a lot with tight access, a neighbour close on either side and wet ground under the surface. We plan the day so equipment is in and out with minimal disruption, protect the adjoining property, and build a base that will hold up on lake ground.
The owner is on every job.
Every service we offer is available in Wolverine Lake. 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 Wolverine Lake'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 Wolverine Lake 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 Wolverine Lake'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 Wolverine Lake 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 Wolverine Lake 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 Wolverine Lake 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 Wolverine Lake 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 Wolverine Lake businesses that means quick pothole and section repair so the lot stays safe.
The water table around Wolverine Lake is high, and a driveway base that stays wet will heave in winter and rut in spring. We routinely excavate deeper, add drainage aggregate and geotextile fabric on lake lots, and grade the surface so runoff has a proper path away from the house and the lake.
Many Wolverine Lake driveways were built thin on minimal base years ago and have been patched since. We assess what is underneath and tell you honestly whether the drive can be resurfaced or needs removal and replacement.
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 Wolverine Lake 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.

The questions Wolverine Lake property owners ask us most, answered honestly.
Yes. Tight lake lots are the majority of our work here. We plan staging carefully and protect both sides of the property line.
It will if the base is built for it. We excavate deeper and add drainage aggregate and fabric so the base stays stable.
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.
