Brooklyn Center's Trusted Paving Contractor

Erickson Asphalt has been serving Brooklyn Center for over 35 years. We have paved driveways in the established neighborhoods near Centennial Park, maintained parking lots along Brooklyn Boulevard, and handled commercial projects throughout this first-ring suburb.

Brooklyn Center developed primarily in the 1950s through 1970s, which means most residential driveways here are well past their expected lifespan. If your driveway was installed when your house was built and you have only done patches and sealcoating since then, it is probably time to talk about replacement. We also work with commercial property owners along the Brooklyn Boulevard corridor and the Shingle Creek Crossing area, where parking lots see heavy daily traffic.

Whether you need a residential driveway replacement, parking lot sealcoating, or commercial paving work, we handle projects of all sizes. And we put the Erickson name on every job.

Over 500 Five-Star Reviews

Our reputation is not based on advertising. It is built on over 500 verified reviews from customers across the Twin Cities metro. You can see exactly what homeowners and property managers experienced when they worked with us. We earn reviews by delivering what we promise.

BBB Accredited

We maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. That rating reflects how we conduct business, communicate with customers, and resolve any issues that arise. Accreditation is earned through consistent performance, not a one-time application.

The Erickson Name on Every Job

As a family-owned business, accountability matters to us. When our crews arrive at your property, they represent our family name. We do not subcontract to whoever is available or cut corners on materials. The standards that built our reputation apply to every project.

Over 35 Years Serving the Metro

We have worked in Brooklyn Center since the beginning of our company. That means we understand the soil conditions here, know how properties in different neighborhoods have aged, and have seen what paving approaches work long-term. There is no shortcut for that kind of local experience.

Aging Driveways And Clay Soil

Brooklyn Center sits on glacial soils with significant clay content. Clay expands when wet, contracts when dry, and moves dramatically through freeze-thaw cycles. This constant movement is why pavement in this area cracks and settles over time, especially if the original base preparation was inadequate.

Many driveways installed in the 1950s and 1960s did not receive the base preparation we would specify today. That is one reason so many driveways here have structural problems that go beyond surface wear. When we replace a driveway, we address the base properly so the new pavement has the foundation it needs.

Permits And Zoning

Brooklyn Center requires a driveway permit and zoning approval for driveway replacement or expansion. Driveways must be paved with concrete, asphalt, brick, stone pavers, or equivalent hard-surface materials. Gravel driveways are not permitted.

The city also has requirements about driveway width. Driveways can be expanded to the property line, but at least 50 percent of the front yard must be maintained as ground cover, and the driveway cannot exceed 30 feet wide. Expansion near property lines requires a survey and must meet setback requirements.

Sealcoating does not require a permit. When you work with Erickson, we handle permit applications and zoning approval so your project meets city requirements from the start.

The Neighborhoods We Work In

We work throughout Brooklyn Center, including the neighborhoods around Centennial Park, Evergreen Park, Palmer Lake, and the residential areas near Shingle Creek. We also serve commercial properties along Brooklyn Boulevard, near Shingle Creek Crossing, and in the industrial areas. The city is compact enough that we know the conditions across different sections.
