Family owned. Owner supervised. Clarkston driveways and lots.

Clarkston is a small historic village at the center of a much larger community that most people also call Clarkston: Independence Township, with its lakes, rolling roads and subdivisions spreading out from Dixie Highway and I-75. We pave across all of it, from the older homes on the village streets to the newer neighborhoods off Clarkston Road and Sashabaw Road and the lake properties on Deer Lake, Walters Lake and Lake Oakland.

The mix is what makes Clarkston interesting to work in. One day it is a short driveway on a village lot with a historic house and no room to stage; the next it is a long drive on a wooded lot near the Clinton River, or a commercial lot on Dixie Highway that needs to be repaired and restriped without shutting the business.

We have been doing this in Clarkston for over 30 years, and the owner is on every job. That is how we keep the standard consistent whether the driveway is fifty feet or five hundred.

Our Services

Paving services for Clarkston, MI.

Every service we offer is available in Clarkston. Established lots, downtown parking and the larger properties on the edge of town each need something a little different, and we do all of it with the same owner-supervised crew.

Asphalt Paving in Clarkston

New asphalt surfaces for driveways, private roads and parking areas, from excavation and base construction through hot-mix installation and compaction. In Clarkston that means careful work on established lots, clean edges against walks and walls, and an approach that ties into the street properly.

Commercial Parking Lots in Clarkston

Parking lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and line striping for businesses of every size. For Clarkston’s downtown businesses we phase lot work so parking stays available and schedule around your busiest hours.

Sealcoating & Maintenance in Clarkston

Protective sealcoating, crack filling and routine maintenance that keep water out of the base and extend the life of the surface. For Clarkston’s older driveways and downtown lots, a regular sealing cycle keeps the surface tight against the freeze-thaw cycle.

Asphalt Resurfacing in Clarkston

A new wearing course over an existing surface whose base is still sound, restoring a worn driveway or lot to like-new condition. For Clarkston’s established driveways, we assess the base honestly and resurface only where it will hold.

Residential Paving in Clarkston

Driveways, walkways, private roads and turnarounds for homeowners, built to carry real use and finished to match the property. In Clarkston that means careful work on established, often tight lots with mature trees and close neighbors.

Asphalt Millings in Clarkston

Recycled asphalt pavement, delivered, graded and compacted into a firm, dark surface for drives, yards and parking areas. For a long drive or parking area on the edge of Clarkston, millings are a durable, affordable alternative.

Removal & Replacement in Clarkston

Complete removal of a failed surface, correction and recompaction of the base, and installation of new asphalt. For Clarkston’s oldest driveways, where patches are failing on top of patches, replacement gives you a surface that will last.

Parking Lot Repair in Clarkston

Pothole repair and patching, crack filling and sealing, surface leveling and line striping for existing lots. For Clarkston’s downtown businesses that means quick, tidy repairs that keep the lot safe and looking right.

Local Conditions

Paving in Clarkston: the ground and the weather.

Clarkston’s ground is glacial: hills, sand and gravel in places, clay and wet ground near the lakes and the river in others. The hills mean grading and drainage decide how long a driveway lasts, and the lake lots often have a high water table that keeps the base wet. We assess each site rather than assuming, and on soft ground we build a deeper base with fabric so it does not move.

Because so many Clarkston properties are on private roads and lake access drives, we also see a lot of surfaces that were built cheaply years ago and are now breaking up. Sometimes those can be resurfaced; often they need the old material removed and a proper base built before new asphalt goes down. We will tell you which is which.

Seasonal weight restrictions and road standards in Oakland County are set by the Road Commission for Oakland County; for hot-mix specifications we work to the Asphalt Pavement Association of Michigan guidance.

How We Work

The same five steps on every Clarkston paving job.

Walk the site and quote
We look at the ground, the access and the drainage, and give you a free, honest estimate for what the job actually needs.
Prepare the base
Excavate to the right depth, correct soft ground with fabric and aggregate, and compact a base that will not move.
Grade for drainage
Shape the surface so water sheds away from the house, the lake or the building, and toward ground that can take it.
Lay and compact the asphalt
Hot mix placed at the right temperature and rolled to spec while it is workable, with clean edges and transitions.
Finish and protect
Striping where needed, a clean site, and a sealing schedule so the surface stays tight through Michigan winters.

FAQs

Clarkston paving questions, straight answers.

The questions Clarkston property owners ask us most, answered honestly.

Do you pave private roads shared by several Clarkston homes?

Yes. Shared private roads and lake access drives are common in Clarkston and we build them to carry the traffic they actually get. We can work with a homeowners’ group on one quote for the whole road.

Can you repair the parking lot at my business on Dixie Highway without closing?

In most cases, yes. We phase the work, keep part of the lot open and can schedule around your hours.

How long does a driveway take in Clarkston?

Most driveways on established lots are completed in a single day. Removal and replacement with base work can take two. We confirm the schedule when we quote.

When can I drive on the new surface?

Foot traffic is usually fine within a day. We ask you to keep vehicles off for a few days while the asphalt cures, and we will confirm the exact timing for your job.

Do you provide free estimates in Clarkston?

Yes. Every estimate is free. We come out, look at the lot and the access, and give you our honest recommendation while keeping your budget in mind.
