Oakland County · 48390

Family owned. Owner supervised. Walled Lake driveways and lots.

Walled Lake is a small city on the lake of the same name, with a compact downtown on Pontiac Trail and neighborhoods of established homes on modest lots between the lake and the surrounding townships. Many of those homes started as lake cottages and have been rebuilt or expanded over the decades, and their driveways have often been patched just as many times.

Asphalt Express LLC has paved in Walled Lake for over 30 years. The typical residential job is a driveway replacement on a lot with limited access, a neighbor close on either side and, near the lake, wet ground under the surface. We also maintain and repair the lots behind Pontiac Trail businesses, phased so parking stays available.

The owner is on every job.

Our Services

Paving services for Walled Lake, MI.

Every service we offer is available in Walled Lake. Lake lots, shared access roads and the businesses along the main corridors each need something a little different, and we do all of it with the same owner-supervised crew.

Asphalt Paving in Walled Lake

New asphalt surfaces for driveways, private roads and parking areas, from excavation and base construction through hot-mix installation and compaction. On Walled Lake’s lake lots that means a base built for wet ground and a surface graded to shed water away from the house.

Commercial Parking Lots in Walled Lake

Parking lot paving, resurfacing, repair, sealcoating and line striping for businesses of every size. For Walled Lake businesses along the main roads we phase the work so the lot stays open and customers keep parking.

Sealcoating & Maintenance in Walled Lake

Protective sealcoating, crack filling and routine maintenance that keep water out of the base and extend the life of the surface. On Walled Lake’s shaded, wet lake drives it is the single most cost-effective thing you can do to make the surface last.

Asphalt Resurfacing in Walled Lake

A new wearing course over an existing surface whose base is still sound, restoring a worn driveway or lot to like-new condition. Where a Walled Lake lake drive has a sound base under a worn surface, resurfacing restores it for far less than replacement.

Residential Paving in Walled Lake

Driveways, walkways, private roads and turnarounds for homeowners, built to carry real use and finished to match the property. In Walled Lake that includes narrow, steep and shared lake-lot drives built for wet ground and winter traction.

Asphalt Millings in Walled Lake

Recycled asphalt pavement, delivered, graded and compacted into a firm, dark surface for drives, yards and parking areas. For a long access drive or parking area on a Walled Lake lake property, millings give a firm, dust-free surface at a fraction of the cost.

Removal & Replacement in Walled Lake

Complete removal of a failed surface, correction and recompaction of the base, and installation of new asphalt. On Walled Lake lake lots where a thin old drive has broken up on wet ground, this is usually the honest answer.

Parking Lot Repair in Walled Lake

Pothole repair and patching, crack filling and sealing, surface leveling and line striping for existing lots. For Walled Lake businesses that means quick pothole and section repair so the lot stays safe.

Local Conditions

Paving in Walled Lake: the ground and the weather.

The water table near Walled Lake is high, and a driveway base that stays wet will heave in winter and rut in spring. On lots near the water we excavate deeper, add drainage aggregate and geotextile fabric, and grade so runoff has a proper path.

Older Walled Lake driveways were often built thin, with minimal base, and decades of patching have followed. When we assess one we are looking at what is underneath as much as what is on top, and we are honest about whether it can be resurfaced or needs removal and replacement.

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 Walled Lake 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

Walled Lake paving questions, straight answers.

The questions Walled Lake property owners ask us most, answered honestly.

Can you pave a driveway on a tight Walled Lake lot?

Yes. Tight lots with close neighbors are common here. We plan staging, protect both sides of the property line and finish cleanly.

Is my lake-area driveway going to have drainage problems?

Possibly, if the ground is wet. We assess the site and build the base with drainage in mind so the surface lasts.

How long does a driveway take in Walled Lake?

Most lake-lot driveways are completed in one to two days depending on access and how much base work the ground needs. 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 Walled Lake?

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