St. Michael's Trusted Paving Contractor
Get Free EstimateSt. Michael has grown fast. New subdivisions have pushed north and west over the past two decades, and with that growth comes a lot of pavement that is starting to show its age. Driveways that were poured or paved during the buildout are now hitting the 15 to 20-year mark. When you start seeing network cracking, settling at the apron, or drainage problems that sealcoating cannot fix, the surface is telling you something about what is happening below grade.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Asphalt Services in St. Michael
Driveway Paving
When cracks have spread across more than a third of the surface or settling has created drainage problems, patching is not the answer. We handle complete driveway tear-outs and replacements, with proper excavation, grading, base preparation, and compaction before any asphalt goes down. Every residential driveway comes with our industry-leading warranty. We also install new driveways for new construction and driveway extensions for extra parking.
Driveway Sealcoating
Sealcoating is the most cost-effective maintenance you can do for your asphalt. It blocks UV damage, prevents water from working into cracks, and resists oil and chemical stains. For St. Michael driveways, we recommend sealcoating every two to three years to extend pavement life and maintain curb appeal. We handle both residential driveways and commercial parking lots.
Apron Repair
When your driveway apron sinks away from the garage floor, water collects in the gap and seeps under the slab every time it rains or snows. That problem gets worse every freeze-thaw cycle. Our apron repair service addresses the underlying base failure and installs a proper fix, not a surface patch that comes back next spring.
Commercial Paving
Businesses and property managers in St. Michael rely on us for commercial paving that handles heavy traffic and tight scheduling. We handle parking lot construction, mill-and-overlay, and full reconstruction for retail centers, industrial sites, churches, and HOA common areas. We work around your operations to minimize disruption and phase projects to keep access open when needed.
Commercial Sealcoating
For property managers and business owners, parking lot sealcoating extends pavement life at a fraction of replacement cost. We phase larger projects to maintain access and coordinate line striping once the sealer has cured.
Asphalt Repair
Potholes and alligator cracking get worse with every freeze-thaw cycle. Our infrared patching process heats the existing asphalt and blends in new material for a seamless repair without uneven edges. For larger problem areas, we offer mill-and-patch and section replacement.

Why Base Work Matters in St. Michael
St. Michael sits on glacial deposits with soil conditions that vary across the city. Properties in established neighborhoods tend to have more settled ground. Newer developments built on former agricultural land can have variable fill, including areas with clay content that holds moisture and moves significantly through freeze-thaw cycles. Soils that are not properly compacted during base preparation allow pavement to settle and crack within a few seasons, no matter how good the asphalt is on top.
Good base work means gravel depth matched to your site conditions, proper compaction at every lift, and correct grading for drainage before asphalt goes down. That is the difference between pavement that lasts 20 years and pavement that needs attention in year five.
Permits and Regulations
A building permit is required in St. Michael for new driveway installations and significant modifications to existing driveways. You submit the application to the St. Michael Building Department at City Hall. Routine maintenance like sealcoating does not require a permit. We determine what is needed for your project and handle the coordination upfront so there are no surprises before we break ground.

We work throughout St. Michael, including established neighborhoods off Highway 241, newer residential developments along County Road 37 and Frankfort Parkway, and commercial properties along the Highway 241 and I-94 corridors.
