Morrison Asphalt Contractor
Free EstimateMorrison is a small foothills town with a personality that punches way above its weight class. Best known as the gateway to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, it’s a community defined by its historic character, tucked-away residential pockets, and some of the most challenging terrain in the Front Range. Between the steep grades of the foothills and the heavy “red rock” soil, paving here isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” job.
Whether you’re a homeowner maintaining a property on one of the town’s winding hillside streets or a business owner managing the massive seasonal foot traffic that concert season brings to Bear Creek Avenue, you need more than just a fresh coat of asphalt. You need a surface that can handle Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles and the unique drainage issues that come with mountain-side properties. Riley’s has been navigating these hills for over 30 years.

Paving in Morrison: What You Should Know
Soil & Terrain: The Foothills Factor
Morrison’s geology is a different beast than the clay-heavy plains to the east. Sitting at the base of the Front Range means dealing with rocky, shallow soils and significant grade changes. While the natural drainage can be better here, the uphill runoff and intense freeze-thaw cycles at this elevation are brutal on asphalt. We don’t guess—we assess every site in person to ensure the base preparation works with the native terrain, not against it.
Service Area: From Downtown to the Canyon
We cover the entire Morrison corridor, from the historic storefronts on Bear Creek Avenue to the rural residential parcels tucked into the surrounding canyons. Whether you’re managing a high-traffic commercial lot near the Red Rocks corridor or maintaining a private drive in unincorporated Jefferson County, we have the specialized equipment to handle the tight turns and steep hauls of the Bear Creek drainage area.
Permits & Regulations
- Town of Morrison: Projects within town limits are governed by Morrison Town Hall.
- Unincorporated JeffCo: For properties outside town limits, Jefferson County Planning & Zoning handles the oversight.
- Pro Tip: While a standard “in-place” repave usually doesn’t require a permit, any project that expands your driveway’s footprint or alters drainage should be cleared with the county or town first to avoid mid-project headaches.
