What You Should Know About Paving Denver
The “Denver Basin” Soil Challenge
The biggest threat to Denver asphalt isn’t just the weather, it’s the expansive clay soil beneath it. This soil acts like a sponge, swelling and shrinking throughout the year, which causes pavement to heave and crack. This is exactly why driveways in older neighborhoods often fail prematurely. We prioritize a heavy-duty gravel base and proper subgrade preparation to ensure your pavement has the structural foundation it needs to last 25+ years in this environment.
Historic Neighborhoods & Modern Growth
- Established Residential: In neighborhoods like Washington Park, Hilltop, Park Hill, and Congress Park, we frequently replace original driveways that have reached the end of their lifecycle. We understand the care required when working around century-old homes and tight urban lot lines.
- Modern In-Fill: In high-growth areas like Lowry, Central Park, and Sunnyside, we provide high-durability surfaces built for modern families and heavy daily use.
- Commercial Properties: We manage everything from small retail lots to large-scale industrial complexes, offering flexible scheduling to avoid disrupting your business operations.
Permits & Regulations
Navigating Denver’s bureaucracy can be a headache, but we keep it simple:
- Residential Maintenance: If you are repaving or sealcoating your existing footprint, you typically do not need a city permit.
- New Footprints & Curb Cuts: If you’re widening a drive or changing how it hits the street, Denver Community Planning and Development will likely require a review.
- Commercial Work: Most commercial projects require a site development plan and a Right-of-Way permit. The Denver E-Permits portal can save you the paperwork.
