Asphalt Paving & Maintenance in Aurora, CO
Aurora sprawls across three counties and 165 square miles. That’s a lot of ground and a lot of variation in soil conditions, drainage patterns, and infrastructure age. The clay soils in the older neighborhoods near Colfax behave differently than the sandy deposits out toward the plains. A contractor who doesn’t account for that is going to deliver inconsistent results.
We’ve been paving Aurora for over 30 years. We’ve worked everywhere from the established areas around Fitzsimons to the newer developments along E-470. We know where the ground holds water, where it drains too fast, and where the infrastructure was built to older standards that create problems today. That local knowledge shows up in pavement that lasts.
When you call us, you’re getting a contractor who understands Aurora’s diversity and builds accordingly.
Asphalt Services in Aurora
Commercial Paving
Aurora’s commercial landscape includes everything from small retail centers to massive distribution facilities. Each has different traffic patterns, load requirements, and usage intensity. A parking lot for a medical office doesn’t need the same construction as a trucking terminal.
We design commercial paving for your specific operation. We look at vehicle weights, traffic patterns, turning movements, and loading areas to determine where you need reinforced sections and where standard construction is sufficient. The result is pavement that’s built for how you actually use it.
Commercial Sealcoating
Property managers know the math on pavement maintenance. Regular sealcoating costs 5-10% of what replacement costs. Skipping it means replacing your lot 8-10 years earlier than necessary. That’s not savings. That’s expensive neglect.
We work with commercial properties throughout Aurora on maintenance schedules that make financial sense. We coordinate with your operations, phase work to maintain access, and handle scheduling around your tenants’ needs. Professional protection without the disruption.
Asphalt Repair
Small problems become expensive problems fast. That crack from last winter? It’s twice as wide now and water’s getting into the base. The settling near your dumpster pad? It’s undermining the adjacent pavement. Catch it early and you’re looking at hundreds in repairs. Wait, and it’s thousands.
We offer the full spectrum of asphalt repairs including crack sealing, infrared patching for seamless results, skin patches for surface issues, and full-depth replacement for base failures. We assess what’s actually wrong and recommend what actually fixes it.
Parking Lot Striping
Faded striping creates problems: confused drivers, reduced parking capacity, ADA compliance issues, and potential liability. Fresh, clear markings make your lot work better and look better.
We handle complete lot layouts, restriping, fire lane marking, directional arrows, and ADA-compliant accessible spaces. Aurora has specific requirements for commercial parking, and we make sure your lot meets current code, not the code from when it was built 20 years ago. See our parking lot striping services.
Driveway Paving
Aurora’s soil conditions change depending on where you are. The older parts of town have heavy clay that swells when wet. Areas closer to the airport have sandier soil that drains faster but compacts differently. And the transition zones in between can have both, sometimes on the same property.
We assess your specific lot before we start. You get base work matched to your soil type, proper drainage design, and compaction that accounts for what’s actually under your driveway. The result is pavement that performs instead of failing prematurely. Learn more about our driveway paving services.
Driveway Sealcoating
Aurora’s high-altitude sun is brutal on asphalt. The UV breaks down the binder that holds everything together, turning flexible pavement brittle and prone to cracking. Add winter road treatments and you’ve got chemical attack on top of UV damage.
Sealcoating creates a protective barrier against both threats. Applied every 2-3 years, it blocks UV degradation and prevents chemicals from penetrating the surface. Homeowners who maintain their sealcoat get 10+ extra years from their driveways. That’s thousands of dollars saved.
Why Local Knowledge Matters in Aurora
Older areas often have drainage systems that weren't designed for the density they now support. Newer areas have modern stormwater requirements but sometimes rushed construction. We've seen both fail, and we know what to look for.
When we assess your property, we're looking at the whole picture: soil conditions, drainage patterns, neighboring properties, and the age and condition of existing infrastructure. That context shapes how we approach your project.
Permits & Regulations
Aurora spans Arapahoe, Adams, and Douglas counties, each with slightly different requirements. Within the city, permitting depends on project scope. Standard residential resurfacing usually doesn’t need a permit. New construction, expanded footprints, and commercial projects trigger different review processes.
The city has stormwater regulations that apply to larger projects. ADA requirements apply to all commercial parking. Properties in special districts may have additional standards.
We handle the permitting side regardless of which jurisdiction applies to your property. We know Aurora’s requirements and make sure your project is compliant from the start.
