Asphalt Paving in Edina, MN

Asphalt paving in Edina is almost entirely replacement work, because the city is more than 95 percent developed and residential neighborhoods are its largest land use. Edina grew from 9,744 residents in 1950 to 30,482 in 1960 and 44,031 in 1970 as car-centered suburbs spread after the streetcar line was abandoned in 1954. Many of those homes are now being remodeled or replaced, and the driveway is part of every one of those projects.

After a rebuild or major remodel

When an older home is torn down and replaced, or a garage is enlarged, the old driveway rarely fits the new layout or grade. Construction traffic also finishes off pavement that was already worn. We rebuild the base, set the grade to the new garage slab and street, and pave to the width the new layout needs.

Mature trees and creeks

Minnehaha Creek and Nine Mile Creek run through the city, and established lots often have large trees close to the driveway. Roots lift edges and crack pavement; shade slows drying. We plan the base and edges around roots and schedule sealing for dry stretches.

Four quadrants, many approaches

Highways 62 and 100 divide Edina into four sections, with U.S. 169 and I-494 also crossing the city. Many homes sit on residential streets where the approach is city-controlled; others meet busier roads. We confirm local requirements before any change to the approach.

Commercial and multifamily

Southdale Center, described as the country's oldest indoor mall, Galleria Edina and the 50th and France district anchor Edina's commercial pavement. Office, retail and apartment lots throughout the city need ongoing maintenance: crack sealing, patching, sealcoating and restriping.

Country Club and older districts

Edina's older districts, such as the Country Club District and Morningside, have homes from the early 1900s through the 1940s. Their driveways are often narrow runs to detached or tuck-under garages, sometimes shared with a neighbor. Replacement there means careful access planning and matching existing grades at the house.

Street reconstruction

When a street is reconstructed, the curb and apron often change height. A driveway that met the old curb may then sit low or high. We adjust the end of the driveway to meet the new apron so water does not pond at the joint.

Snow storage on wide driveways

Larger Edina homes often have wide driveways where snow is piled along one side all winter. Meltwater from those piles runs across the pavement and refreezes overnight. Slope and edge shaping that send meltwater off the pavement reduce icing and freeze damage.
