Your driveway should look clean, drain properly, and hold up for years—without headaches. When you choose an asphalt driveway for your home with Erickson, you get a clear plan, straightforward pricing, and work done when we say it’ll be done. We evaluate your site, correct problem spots, and pave to proper thickness with tight edges and smooth transitions at the garage and street. When the paving’s complete, we walk the project with you so you know everything was done right—and we can help you protect the surface later with driveway sealcoating.
If the structure is still sound, driveway repair can save you money and extend the life of what you already have. We cut out failed areas and patch them, fill and seal cracks to keep water out, and address low spots that hold puddles. For surface wear or small potholes, we use the right repair method—saw-cut patching, infrared heating, or skin patches—so the repair is neat, matches grade, and holds up. You’ll get a simple plan that targets what matters now and prevents bigger issues later.
When cracking, sinking, or repeated repairs keep coming back, driveway replacement in St. Paul is the smart long-term fix. We remove the old pavement, rebuild the base where needed, compact thoroughly, and pave to the correct thickness with clean edges and proper drainage. Aprons, sidewalks, and street approaches are matched neatly so everything feels seamless. The result: a driveway that looks great on day one and stays that way—backed by our industry-leading 10-year driveway warranty.
In most cases, yes, you will need a permit when constructing a new driveway surface or reconstructing an existing driveway in St. Paul, even if you are only reconstructing part of it. The permit is required from the City of St. Paul Department of Safety and Inspections Website.
Situations that require a city driveway permit include:
- Upgrading from a gravel or concrete driveway to asphalt
- Expanding an existing asphalt driveway
- Installing a new asphalt driveway
- Adding a parking pad connected to the existing driveway
There is a fee for the city driveway permit, with the amount depending on the project valuation.
However, if your driveway enters onto a county road, you may also need a separate driveway permit from Ramsey County. Ramsey County requires permits for constructing new driveways, resurfacing, or widening existing driveways that access county roads.
You typically do not need a city permit for just sealcoating your existing driveway, as it is considered maintenance. But a county permit may still be required if working on a driveway to a county road.
Additionally, for driveways along state trunk highways, a permit from the MN Department of Transportation may be necessary.
The permitting process can be complicated, particularly when multiple agencies are involved. Our experienced team specializes in seamlessly guiding clients through all required approvals for driveway projects in St. Paul.

Good striping makes your lot safer and easier to use.

• Stops oxidation, keeping asphalt flexible and preventing cracking
• Protects asphalt from chemicals, oil spills, and other damaging substances
• Extends the life of the asphalt, reducing the need for costly replacements
