Asphalt Paving in Richfield, MN

Asphalt paving in Richfield is closely tied to the city's housing history. Farmland was sold to developers in the late 1940s to build homes for returning World War II veterans, and the majority of Richfield's roughly 10,000 single-family homes went up in the 1950s. The population jumped from 17,502 in 1950 to 42,523 in 1960. Those homes are now seventy years old, and the city actively encourages remodeling and rebuilding through its Richfield Rediscovered housing program.

Driveways after a remodel

When a Richfield home gets a new garage, a second story or a full rebuild, the driveway is often the last piece. Construction traffic, dumpsters and concrete trucks can crack an old driveway that was already near the end of its life. We remove what is left, rebuild the base and pave a driveway that matches the new garage width and height.

Compact lots and short drives

Richfield lots are compact, and many driveways are short, single-car runs. Some homes have detached garages reached from the side. Tight access means planning equipment and haul-off carefully and protecting lawns, fences and neighboring driveways.

Water and garage aprons

On older lots, the garage slab, the driveway and the street often sit at grades that no longer line up after decades of settling and street resurfacing. Water collects at the garage door or at the street. We reset the base so the driveway drains away from the garage and meets both ends cleanly.

Commercial corridors

I-35W, I-494, Highway 62 and Highway 77 border or cross the city, and commercial areas like Cedar Point Commons and the Best Buy headquarters campus draw heavy traffic. We maintain commercial and apartment lots with patching, sealing, overlays and restriping; Richfield's roughly 5,000 apartments from the 1960s and early 70s have lots that are often due for work.

Wood Lake and low areas

The 150-acre Wood Lake Nature Center and the wetlands around it sit in the southwest part of the city. Homes near low areas can see slower drainage in spring, which softens the base under a driveway right when frost is leaving. Extra base and careful grading help.

Concrete aprons and street work

Many Richfield driveways meet the street at a concrete apron in the public right-of-way. When the city rebuilds a street, the apron may be replaced, leaving the old asphalt driveway at a different height. We match the new apron height so there is no lip or puddle where the two meet.

Best Buy and the Cedar corridor

Commercial traffic is concentrated around I-494, Highway 77 and 66th Street. We handle commercial and apartment lots throughout the city, including patching, crack sealing, sealcoating and restriping.
