Maplewood's Trusted Paving Contractor

Erickson Asphalt has been paving driveways and maintaining parking lots across Maplewood for over 35 years. We know this city from the established residential areas near Battle Creek to the commercial corridors along White Bear Avenue and Century Avenue.

Maplewood covers a lot of ground, and the properties we work on reflect that diversity. You have older neighborhoods in the southern sections where driveways from the 1970s and 1980s are well past their expected lifespan. The northern areas include newer developments where homeowners need first-time paving. And throughout the city, commercial properties need parking lot maintenance that keeps up with traffic demands.

Whether you need a driveway replacement near Phalen Chain of Lakes, sealcoating for a strip mall on White Bear Avenue, or parking lot repairs for a property along I-94, we handle it. And we put the Erickson name on every job.

Over 500 Five-Star Reviews

Our reputation is built on completed projects, not marketing. With over 500 verified reviews from homeowners and property managers across the Twin Cities, you can see what working with us actually looks like. We earn every review by showing up on time, doing the work right, and standing behind the results.

BBB Accredited

We maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. That accreditation is not automatic. It reflects how we communicate with customers, handle concerns, and conduct our business. When issues arise, we deal with them directly.

The Erickson Name on Every Job

This is a family-owned business, and that means something to us. Our crews represent our family name on every project. We do not subcontract work to random crews or cut corners to squeeze out extra margin. The same standards apply to a small driveway repair as a large commercial project.

Over 35 Years Serving the Metro

We have been working in Maplewood since the 1980s. That experience shows in how we approach projects here. We understand the soil conditions, know the seasonal timing that works for this climate, and have seen what lasts and what does not. There is no substitute for doing this work in the same area for decades.

East Metro Clay And Loam

Maplewood’s soils are typical of the east metro, with a mix of clay and loamy materials left behind by glacial activity. The clay content varies by location, but it is present throughout most of the city. Clay holds water, expands when frozen, and contracts when it dries out. This seasonal movement is what causes driveways to crack and settle over time.

Proper base preparation is the only way to manage these conditions. That means removing unstable material, achieving proper compaction, and building an adequate gravel base before any asphalt goes down. We assess soil conditions on every project because they directly affect what your pavement needs to perform.

Grading And Drainage Permits

Maplewood requires a grading permit whenever significant soil is displaced or drainage patterns are altered. This typically applies to larger projects or situations where the work affects how water flows on or off your property. Standard driveway repaving on an existing footprint usually does not require a permit.

When you work with Erickson, we determine permit requirements upfront and handle the process so your project stays on schedule.

Neighborhoods We Serve

We work throughout Maplewood, including the neighborhoods around Battle Creek Regional Park, the Phalen Chain of Lakes area, properties along White Bear Avenue and Century Avenue, and the commercial and residential areas near I-94 and I-694. From established 1960s developments to newer construction, we have experience with the range of conditions across the city.
