What We Do
Everything below starts the same way: we come out, look at what's under your pavement as much as what's on top, and quote the job that actually fits it.
New Asphalt Driveways
Full installs on a compacted gravel base, graded so water runs off instead of pooling. Gravel-to-asphalt conversions are some of our most common jobs in Saginaw County — done right, the mud season headaches are over for good.
Resurfacing & Replacement
If your base is still sound, an overlay puts a fresh riding surface over the old one for a lot less money. If it's shot, we'll tell you, tear it out, and rebuild from the gravel up. We'll show you which one your driveway needs and why.
Sealcoating
A sealcoat every 2–3 years shields asphalt from sun, gas drips, and water. One catch people don't hear enough: brand-new asphalt has to cure about a year before its first coat, or you trap the oils and soften the surface.
Crack Filling & Patching
Hot rubberized crack filler, best applied in fall before freeze-up. Every crack we seal is water that can't get underneath, freeze, and heave your pavement in January. Potholes get cut square and patched, not just topped off.
Small Commercial Lots
Parking lots for shops, churches, and offices — paving, patching, and sealcoating scheduled around your business hours so you're not turning customers away.
Concrete Driveways
Asphalt is our bread and butter, but if concrete suits your project better, we handle concrete driveway work too. We'll lay out the trade-offs of each so you can pick with clear eyes.

The Difference Between a 20-Year Driveway and a 5-Year One
It isn't the blacktop you can see. It's the gravel base and the grading you can't. Michigan freeze-thaw is brutal on pavement: water gets under a driveway, freezes, expands, and pushes everything up. Come spring, that's your pothole. A driveway that fails in five years almost always failed underneath first.
- Compacted gravel base built to carry the load, not just level the dirt
- Grading and drainage set so water leaves the pavement instead of sitting on it or soaking under the edges
- Hot mix laid at proper temperature and rolled to full compaction — no thin spots, no cold seams
- Straight talk on overlay vs. tear-out, so you don't pay for more than the job needs — or less than it takes
Free quotes mean exactly that: we look at the job, measure it, and hand you a number. You're never obligated, and we won't camp in your kitchen until you sign something.
What Paving Actually Costs Around Saginaw
Nobody can price a driveway sight unseen, but you deserve real ballparks before anyone steps on your property. Most residential asphalt driveways around here land somewhere in the $4,000–$10,000 range. The spread comes down to square footage and base work — a driveway that needs new gravel, regrading, or drainage correction sits at the high end; a straightforward overlay on a solid base sits at the low end.
Sealcoating a typical driveway runs a few hundred dollars. Crack filling is usually the cheapest line item on the menu — and the one that saves you the most down the road. If a number we quote doesn't fit your budget this year, we'll tell you what's worth doing now and what can wait.
Common Questions
Should I overlay my driveway or replace it completely?
An overlay adds a new layer of asphalt over your existing surface and costs less. It works when the base underneath is still solid and the cracking is minor. If your driveway has deep alligator cracking, drainage problems, or soft spots, an overlay just hides the trouble for a couple of years — full tear-out and replacement is the honest fix.
When should new asphalt get its first sealcoat?
Wait about a year. New asphalt needs time to cure and let its surface oils work out. Sealcoating too soon traps those oils and leaves the pavement soft. After that first year, a fresh sealcoat every 2 to 3 years keeps the surface protected.
What drives the cost of an asphalt driveway?
Size is the biggest factor, then base work. A driveway that needs new gravel base, regrading, or drainage correction costs more than one that just needs fresh asphalt over a sound base. Equipment access and driveway shape play a smaller role. That is why we quote in person instead of over the phone.
How long do I have to stay off new asphalt?
Keep vehicles off for at least 3 days, longer in hot weather when asphalt stays soft. Walking on it is fine after 24 hours. For the first year, try not to park in the exact same spot every day or crank the steering wheel while sitting still.
Why do you recommend crack filling in the fall?
Water is what kills asphalt in Michigan. Cracks filled before freeze-up cannot let water in, so it cannot freeze, expand, and heave the pavement over the winter. A fall crack-filling visit is the cheapest insurance a driveway can get.
What months can you pave in Michigan?
Roughly April through November, depending on the year. Hot-mix asphalt needs warm enough ground to compact properly, so the season runs from spring thaw to the first hard freezes. Sealcoating wants warmer, drier weather — usually May through September.
