Ham Lake's Trusted Paving Contractor

Ham Lake is a large-lot, semi-rural community where driveways run longer, drainage challenges are more varied, and the gap between good and poor base preparation shows up fast. Properties here deal with everything from sandy outwash soils that drain well but shift under load, to heavier clay pockets that hold moisture and heave through Minnesota freeze-thaw cycles.

The Erickson Name on Every Job

This is a family-owned business. Our crews represent our name on every project. Long driveways on rural properties get the same attention to base preparation and grading as any other job. We do not subcontract to crews we do not know.

Ham Lake sits on Anoka County glacial deposits with significant soil variability across the community. Sandy outwash areas drain well but can shift under pavement loads if not properly compacted. Areas with higher clay content hold moisture, expand when frozen, and contract when dry. Some properties also have organic material in the subgrade that needs to be removed before a stable base can be built. We evaluate every site before recommending base depth and preparation approach.

Ham Lake’s large-lot character means some driveways cross multiple soil types within a single run. That variability matters for base design. We account for it rather than using a one-size approach.

Permits and Regulations

Permit and approval requirements in Ham Lake vary by project type. New driveway installations, expansions, and curb cut changes may require a permit from the City of Ham Lake. If your driveway connects to a county road, Anoka County may also be involved. Routine maintenance like sealcoating typically does not require a permit. We determine what your specific project requires and handle the coordination before work begins.

Areas We Serve

We work throughout Ham Lake, including residential areas along Highway 65 and County Road 22, large-lot properties near Cedar Creek and the rural eastern parts of the city, and commercial and agricultural properties throughout Anoka County.
