Our comprehensive asphalt services include new driveway installations, parking lot construction, asphalt repairs, resurfacing, sealcoating, and chip seal applications. We also offer recycled asphalt options, crack filling, pothole repairs, and drainage solutions designed specifically for Minnesota and Wisconsin weather conditions.

Recycled asphalt is made from reclaimed asphalt pavement that's been processed and mixed with new binding agents. It's an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option that performs exceptionally well in rural driveways and access roads. While offering comparable durability to traditional asphalt, recycled asphalt typically costs 30-40% less, making it ideal for larger residential properties or budget-conscious projects.

Northern winters create freeze-thaw cycles that can cause asphalt to expand and contract, potentially leading to cracks and deterioration. Moisture infiltration during spring thaws can weaken the base material. Our installations include proper drainage systems, reinforced base materials, and premium asphalt mixtures specifically formulated to withstand these harsh conditions. Regular maintenance, including timely crack repairs and sealcoating, significantly extends pavement life despite seasonal challenges.

Regular maintenance includes annual cleaning, prompt repair of cracks, sealcoating every 2-3 years, and avoiding harsh chemicals. Park in varied spots to distribute weight evenly, and avoid sharp turns while parking. Remove oil stains promptly and ensure proper drainage.

Chip seal combines layers of asphalt binder with stone chips to create a textured, durable surface. It's particularly well-suited for rural roads and driveways, offering excellent traction and water drainage. While traditional asphalt provides a smoother, more uniform finish ideal for high-traffic areas, chip seal typically costs 20-30% less and excels in areas prone to flooding or ice. Chip seal generally lasts 5-7 years before needing maintenance, compared to 15-20 years for traditional asphalt.

With proper installation and regular maintenance, a new asphalt driveway typically lasts 20-30 years in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Key factors affecting longevity include proper drainage, base preparation, asphalt thickness, and regular maintenance such as crack filling and sealcoating every 2-3 years. Our specialized installation techniques account for extreme temperature fluctuations and freeze-thaw cycles common in northern climates, helping to maximize your driveway's lifespan.
