Edina's rambler-era driveways and newer subdivision streets are reaching the end of their service life together, and the Twin Cities freeze-thaw cycle is relentless on asphalt. We've been paving driveways, parking lots, and private roads across Minneapolis and the surrounding area since 2010, and we know exactly what Edina's glacial clay soil and 42-inch frost line do to a driveway that wasn't built right the first time.
Homeowners and property managers in Edina (55424) call us when a pothole opens in spring, when a garage apron starts to heave, or when the plow has scarred the edges of a driveway year after year. We show up with a tape measure and an honest assessment: repair what can be repaired, resurface what's worth resurfacing, and replace what's failed. No sales pitch, just local knowledge and fair pricing.
Asphalt Paving in Edina (55424)
Edina's older neighborhoods hold some of the largest and best-kept rambler-era driveways in Hennepin County, many of them 50 to 70 years old and showing it. The newer subdivisions further out have their own challenges: original driveways installed in the 1980s and 1990s are now cracking and failing together, and the HOA rules that govern material choice and setbacks add another layer to the planning. Underneath both sits the same problem: glacial clay and till that holds water and gives it up slowly, so a driveway on a weak base moves with the freeze-thaw cycle instead of staying put. Winter brings 42 inches of frost, deeper under an uninsulated garage slab, and the spring thaw that follows opens potholes and alligator cracking. Heavy plowing scars the edges and aprons at the street line, and drainage depends entirely on pitch because the land is flat.
We've been serving Edina and the Minneapolis area since 2010. Our team knows the soil conditions, the frost depth, the seasonal timing, and the tight lot layouts that make access difficult for a paver and a roller. We bring equipment that fits, we plan the work around the weather window (mid-April through mid-November), and we handle the coordination with the City of Edina on aprons, curb cuts, and permits.

How a Job Works in Edina
We start with a free on-site visit. We measure the area, look at the base condition, check the drainage and grade, and listen to what you've noticed: is the driveway settling, cracking, or just worn? Are you losing the edges to the plow? Is water pooling? We take notes and give you a written estimate with square footage, tonnage, thickness, and the work scope spelled out. No surprises, no pressure.
When we schedule the work, we plan around Edina's weather and your schedule. We bring the crew, the paver, the roller, and the support trucks needed for the job. If your driveway is on a tight side lot (common in Edina's older neighborhoods), we plan access carefully. If you have an HOA, we've already coordinated the material and the color. We mill, grade, and prep the base, lay the hot mix asphalt at the right temperature, and roll it to the right density. If it's a repair or a patch, we cut clean edges and feather the new asphalt into the old. On a new driveway or a full replacement, we build from the subgrade up.
When we're done, we clean up. We haul away the millings, sweep the apron and the street, and walk the job with you. You get a property that's ready to use and a crew that leaves no mess behind.
A new asphalt driveway in Edina starts at roughly $6 per square foot, depending on the base condition and the thickness we recommend. Resurfacing an existing driveway (a fresh 1.5 to 2 inches of asphalt over a prepped surface) runs from $4 per square foot. A simple pothole or patch repair starts at $450. The real cost drivers are the square footage, the condition of the base (if it's soft or settling, we have to mill and regrade), the thickness (thicker holds up longer in our freeze-thaw climate), and the access (a tight lot costs more). We give you a written estimate with tonnage and thickness specs so you know exactly what you're paying for. Call us at (952) 206-5214 for a free estimate on your driveway, parking lot, or private road.
