Asphalt Paving Contractors in Edina, Minnesota
Asphalt paving, sealcoating, and repair for driveways and parking lots..
Paving contractors install and maintain asphalt driveways, parking lots, and private roads. A properly installed asphalt driveway with adequate base, thickness, and drainage lasts 15–25 years. Key factors are subbase preparation (typically 6–8 inches of compacted gravel), asphalt thickness (2–3 inches for residential driveways), proper drainage slope, and compaction with a roller. Sealcoating every 2–3 years extends pavement life by protecting against UV degradation, water infiltration, and chemical damage. Crack filling and patching address localized damage before it spreads. For larger areas, milling and overlay provide a new surface at lower cost than full replacement.

General Asphalt Paving FAQs
How long does an asphalt driveway last?
A properly installed asphalt driveway lasts 15–25 years with regular maintenance. Key maintenance includes sealcoating every 2–3 years ($0.15–$0.25/sq ft), filling cracks promptly before water infiltrates the base, and avoiding heavy loads on hot asphalt in summer. Signs that full replacement is needed: alligator cracking (a pattern of interconnected cracks), large potholes, significant settling or drainage pooling, and base failure. If the damage is limited to the top layer, a mill-and-overlay ($3–$5/sq ft) provides a new surface at lower cost than full replacement ($6–$10/sq ft).
When should I sealcoat my driveway?
Sealcoat a new asphalt driveway 6–12 months after installation to allow proper curing. After that, sealcoat every 2–3 years. Apply sealcoat when temperatures are above 50°F and no rain is forecast for 24–48 hours — spring and fall are ideal. Sealcoating protects against UV degradation, water penetration, and chemical damage from oil and gas spills. It's the single most cost-effective maintenance step for extending driveway life. A 600 sq ft driveway costs $100–$150 to sealcoat professionally.
