Serving Erie for Over 30 Years
Erie is one of the fastest-growing communities on the Front Range, and that growth puts real demands on pavement. New subdivisions, expanding commercial corridors along Arapahoe Road, and heavy contractor traffic mean surfaces that take a beating from day one.

Locally owned, BBB Accredited with an A+ rating.
Whether you’re managing a commercial property near the Erie Commons or replacing a driveway in one of Erie’s newer neighborhoods, you’ll get a straight assessment and crew that gets it done.

Asphalt Services in Erie
Parking Lot Paving
Erie’s commercial growth along Arapahoe Road and Erie Parkway means new retail, office, and industrial properties constantly need quality parking lot paving. We handle full installations and replacements, including proper subgrade prep, ADA-compliant design, and correct asphalt depth for your traffic load. For existing lots that don’t need full replacement, we offer milling and overlay as a cost-effective alternative.
Parking Lot Sealcoating
Erie sits at roughly 5,000 feet where UV exposure is more intense than most people account for. Oxidation eats asphalt from the surface down, and winter freeze-thaw cycles do structural damage from the inside out. Commercial-grade sealcoating applied every two to three years is the most cost-effective thing you can do to extend your lot’s life.
We handle crack sealing before the sealant goes down, so you’re protecting the surface, not just covering up existing damage.
Asphalt Repair
Erie’s rapid development means some pavement was put down fast and not necessarily built to last. When cracks appear or base failures start showing, we assess the actual cause before recommending a fix. That might be crack filling, infrared patching, or full-depth repair depending on what’s underneath. See our asphalt repair page for what’s involved.
Parking Lot Striping
We handle new lot layouts and restriping in Erie, including ADA-compliant stalls, fire lanes, and directional markings. Erie’s mixed commercial and residential developments have specific ADA and fire code requirements, and we make sure everything is compliant before we finish the job.
Driveway Paving
Erie’s newer neighborhoods sit on expansive Front Range soils that move more than homeowners expect. Proper base preparation matters here, especially drainage. We handle full driveway replacements, new installs, and extensions. We assess base conditions first and build accordingly.
Driveway Sealcoating
Erie’s elevation and wind exposure accelerate asphalt oxidation. Driveway sealcoating every two to three years extends your driveway’s life significantly. We fill cracks before the sealant goes down, so you’re actually protecting the surface rather than just darkening it up.

How Enright Diagnoses Pavement Failure in Erie
Erie pavement fails for six main reasons, and the fix only holds if you treat the right one. Asphalt heaved by Pierre Shale needs a different repair than asphalt cracked by new-construction settlement. A contractor who patches both the same way will watch both fail within a season. We figure out what caused the damage before we tell you how to fix it.
Pierre Shale and Bentonite Heave
Root Cause: Erie sits on Pierre Shale with pockets of bentonite clay. Bentonite can swell up to 15 times its dry size when it gets wet. The ground under your driveway or lot can lift and drop three to six inches every season, which destroys asphalt fast.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
Site-specific subgrade preparation with adequate base depth and drainage grading, calibrated to the soil profile we find on your property.
New Construction Backfill Settlement
Root Cause:  Erie is one of the fastest-growing towns in Colorado, and a lot of driveways sit on backfill from new construction. If the backfill wasn’t packed down right, it settles slowly over the first few years. Your driveway sinks in spots and cracks.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
We check for settlement before any repair and rebuild the base in compacted lifts where it’s needed. For sunken sections, we mill out the affected area and pour a new base before laying asphalt.
Magnesium Chloride Brine Corrosion
Root Cause: CDOT sprays magnesium chloride brine on Highway 7, Highway 287, and I-25 as the main de-icer. The brine sticks to tires and gets dragged onto your lot. It soaks deep into the asphalt binder and breaks it down.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
Sealcoat every two to three years to block the brine and rebuild your surface protection. If your pavement already shows brine damage, we mill and overlay the affected areas, then finish with a full sealcoat.
Spring Thaw Base Failure
Root Cause: Erie’s frost line runs about 36 inches deep. When it thaws from the top down in March and April, the base gets soaked and loses its strength for a few weeks. Cracks open up fast in that window.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
We seal cracks in late spring once the sub-base firms back up. That keeps water out before the next freeze cycle hits and makes the damage worse.
Wind Erosion and Surface Drying
Root Cause: Erie sits in an open wind corridor off the foothills and gets steady Chinook winds. Hot, dry wind sucks moisture out of the asphalt binder and makes the surface brittle. Driveways exposed to the west wind age the fastest.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
We sealcoat wind-exposed driveways every two years to lock moisture back into the surface. That keeps the binder flexible and protects your asphalt from drying out.
Freeze-Thaw Alligator Cracking
Root Cause: Erie crosses 32°F more than 100 times some winters. Water seeps into unsealed cracks, freezes, expands about 9%, and slowly breaks the sub-base apart. The damage hides under the surface until it shows up as alligator cracking.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
For small alligator-cracked sections, we do full-depth repair and rebuild the base underneath. For larger areas, we mill the surface and put down a fresh asphalt overlay.
What You Should Know About Paving in Erie
Erie straddles Boulder and Weld Counties, and the soil varies considerably depending on where in town you’re located. Areas closer to the old town center tend to have more clay content. Newer developments to the east often encounter tighter soils with expansive properties. Either way, subgrade preparation is critical and varies by site.
The Town of Erie requires permits for driveway construction and most commercial paving projects. Stormwater management is also a consideration on larger projects, given Erie’s growth and the increased impervious surface associated with new development. We coordinate permits and make sure your project meets all Town requirements before we break ground.
