New driveway installs and full tear-out & replacement, done right: a compacted gravel base, hot-mix asphalt built for Minnesota winters, and one written price before we touch a shovel. Most driveways are paved in a single day.
One written price, good for 30 days. No pressure, no surprises.
We tear out the old driveway, haul it away, fix what caused it to fail — roots, drainage, a thin base — and pave new hot-mix asphalt over a properly compacted gravel base.
For new construction and first-time paving, we grade for drainage, build a gravel base sized to your soil, and lay asphalt that stands up to freeze-thaw for decades — with extensions, aprons, and parking pads shaped to how you actually use your property.
No “it depends” on the phone, no surprise extras on the invoice. We measure your driveway in person, explain exactly what drives the price, and put one number in writing — good for 30 days.
We call within one business day, walk your driveway, and measure.
Full scope and price in writing, good for 30 days. No pressure.
Old surface out, base compacted, hot-mix asphalt down — usually one day.
Simple care instructions so your driveway lasts for decades.
“They completed the tear up of my old driveway, removed huge tree roots that were causing it to collapse, and repaved the entire area all within a day. The whole project looks great and the only regret I have is not doing it sooner.”
It depends on square footage, whether we’re tearing out an old surface, and the base and drainage work your soil needs. That’s why we measure in person and give you one written price, good for 30 days — never a phone guess that grows later.
Isolated cracks can be patched and filled. Widespread “alligator” cracking, sinking, or drainage problems mean the base has failed — and paving over a failed base wastes money. We’ll give you an honest answer either way at your free quote.
Most residential driveways are torn out and repaved in a single day. Larger projects with significant regrading may take two.
Don’t park on it for about one week. Asphalt softens in heat, so on very hot days that first season, park in the garage or on the street. Minor tire marks from turning in place usually fade after the first year.
The base you can’t see. We compact a 2–8″ class-5 gravel base sized to your soil and grade it for runoff — that’s what keeps a driveway flat through Minnesota freeze-thaw. A cheap bid usually means a thin base.
Late spring through early fall — hot-mix asphalt needs warm ground to compact properly. Summer books fast; an early-season quote locks your spot on the schedule.
