| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | Minneapolis clay holds water under a driveway and gives it up slowly all season long. We build a full-depth base, compact it in the humid summer window, then lay hot mix binder and surface course pitched to shed water instead of holding it. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Minneapolis winters open cracks along the edges where snowplows scrape the asphalt each year. We cut out the failed asphalt to sound edges, tack the joint, and patch to match the existing driveway's binder and surface courses. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Minneapolis potholes open fast each spring once the deep frost finally leaves the ground. We saw-cut a clean edge, tack the joint, and pack a full-depth patch so it holds through the next freeze-thaw cycle. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | Minneapolis driveways built decades ago often carry a surface worn thin by years of plowing. We mill the old surface, tie in a fresh binder and surface course, and pitch it to move water instead of holding it against the base. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Minneapolis parking lots and driveways often need the old surface milled off before repairs start. We grind out failed asphalt down to a sound base, haul away the millings, and leave a clean grade ready for new binder and surface course. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | Minneapolis bungalow driveways from the pre-war years are reaching the end of their life together. We remove the old pavement, rebuild the base for Minneapolis clay, and lay new binder and surface course pitched to shed water. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | Minneapolis commercial lots take a beating from a full winter of plowing and salt each year. We build a full-depth base rated for Minnesota load limits, then pave binder and surface courses pitched to drain across flat Twin Cities ground. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Minneapolis parking lots crack and heave each spring once the winter's frost finally lets go. We patch full-depth where the base failed, skin-patch surface wear, and reseal joints before the next freeze-thaw cycle sets in. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Minneapolis driveways on tight budgets often use recycled millings over a compacted base. We grade and compact reclaimed asphalt millings in layers, shaping pitch to shed water across Minneapolis clay before the ground freezes again. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Minneapolis tar and chip driveways need a firm base to handle the region's deep frost. We spray a hot asphalt binder, embed stone chips, and roll it tight so the surface holds through Minneapolis freeze-thaw cycles and plowing. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | Minneapolis gravel driveways need regrading each spring once frost heave settles out. We grade the surface, add fresh aggregate, and shape pitch across the clay subgrade so water moves off instead of pooling. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Minneapolis HOA roads carry heavy plow trucks all winter across clay that shifts with the season. We build a full-depth base rated for load limits, then pave binder and surface courses pitched for drainage across subdivision streets. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | Minneapolis driveway aprons heave hardest at the street line once winter frost lets go. We widen the existing pad, tie new binder and surface course to the old edge, and coordinate the apron work with the city permit. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | Minneapolis backyard courts need a base built for deep frost and heavy spring rain. We grade and compact an aggregate base rated for Minnesota's 42-inch frost line, then pave hot mix asphalt pitched for a level, true playing surface. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Scope : Larger driveways and parking lots typically cost less per square foot due to economies of scale. Small repair jobs have higher per-unit costs because of setup and mobilization.
- Surface Condition and Prep Work : Existing pavement that requires extensive removal, base repair, or grading adds time and labor. A well-prepared foundation ensures longevity and affects the final price.
- Material Selection : Standard asphalt, recycled millings, tar and chip, and gravel options have different price points. Premium materials and thicker installations cost more but offer greater durability.
- Site Accessibility and Drainage : Difficult terrain, poor drainage, or tight spaces may require additional equipment or preparation. Proper grading and drainage solutions protect your investment long-term.
