Serving Evergreen for Over 30 Years
Evergreen is hard on asphalt. Elevation above 7,000 feet, intense UV exposure, heavy snowfall, and freeze-thaw cycles that can happen multiple times a week through spring all accelerate pavement deterioration faster than in the metro. A asphalt contractor in Evergreen without mountain experience will underestimate every one of those factors. Enright Asphalt has served the Evergreen area for over 30 years. We know what it takes to build pavement that holds up here.
Whether you’re managing a commercial property near Evergreen Marketplace or replacing a driveway in the foothills neighborhoods, you’ll get an honest assessment from a crew that builds for Colorado mountain conditions.

Family Owned, Personally Accountable: Enright isn’t a brand name, it’s our last name. When your name is on the work, you make sure it holds up.
30 Years of Mountain Experience: That means you get a contractor who accounts for Evergreen’s elevation, rocky substrates, drainage challenges, and compressed sealcoating seasons.
BBB Accredited with an A+ Rating: Straight quotes, no bait and switch, and base prep that doesn’t get skipped to protect a margin.
Asphalt Services in Evergreen
Parking Lot Paving
Evergreen’s commercial properties, from the Evergreen Marketplace to shops along Highway 74, deal with heavy snow removal equipment, temperature swings, and Rocky Mountain granite substrates that require more careful base prep than typical Front Range work. We handle full parking lot installations and replacements built to mountain conditions. For lots that don’t need full replacement, milling and overlay is a viable option.
Parking Lot Sealcoating
Sealcoating season in Evergreen is shorter than in Denver. You need overnight temperatures above 50 degrees, which typically means a window from late May through early September. Getting it scheduled right matters.
We apply commercial-grade sealcoating and handle crack filling before the sealant goes down. At Evergreen’s elevation, UV oxidizes asphalt fast. A lot that goes without sealcoating will age noticeably faster here than at lower elevations.
Asphalt Repair
Evergreen’s freeze-thaw cycles can be aggressive, especially in spring when temperatures swing 40 degrees in a single day. Cracks that form in fall expand dramatically through winter. We assess the actual damage before recommending a fix, whether that’s crack sealing, hot-mix patching, or full-depth repair for areas where the base has been compromised.
Parking Lot Striping
We handle new lot layouts and restriping in Evergreen, including ADA-compliant stalls and fire lane markings. We use durable paints suited to mountain UV and temperature extremes, so lines stay visible through the season.
Driveway Paving
Evergreen driveways present specific challenges. Many properties have granite or rocky substrates that require excavation before base material can be placed. Drainage slopes are critical here given the snowmelt volume. We handle full driveway replacements and new installs with mountain conditions in mind from the start.
Driveway Sealcoating
At 7,000+ feet, UV intensity accelerates asphalt oxidation significantly faster than at Denver’s elevation. Driveway sealcoating every two to three years is even more important in Evergreen than in the metro. We fill cracks before the sealant goes down and make sure the timing accounts for your overnight temperature windows.

How Enright Diagnoses Pavement Failure in Evergreen
Evergreen pavement fails for six main reasons, and the fix only holds if you treat the right one. Asphalt that’s cracked by mountain freeze-thaw needs a different repair than asphalt washed out by a steep driveway. 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.
Decomposed Granite Subgrade
Root Cause: Evergreen sits on decomposed granite mixed with thin mountain soil. This base drains fast but shifts when water runs through it after heavy rain or snowmelt. Your asphalt can dip and crack along the water path.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
We rebuild the base with engineered aggregate and add cross-slope drainage so water moves off the slab, not through it. That keeps the granite stable under load.
High-Elevation Freeze-Thaw
Root Cause: Evergreen sits above 7,200 feet, where temperatures cross 32°F more than 200 times some years. Water gets into unsealed cracks, freezes, expands about 9%, and breaks the asphalt apart. The damage runs deep because the freeze cycles are more frequent than down in the metro.
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.
Heavy Mountain Snow and Plow Damage
Root Cause: Evergreen gets two to three times the snowfall of the metro, often more than 100 inches a year. Plows have to run hard and often, and the blades scrape the surface every pass. Damage shows up at driveway edges and culvert crossings.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
We repair the torn-up edges and do full-depth patching where plows have done the most damage. Then we add reinforced striping that holds up through a full mountain winter.
Steep Driveway Washout
Root Cause: Most Evergreen driveways run on steep mountain grades. Heavy rain and spring melt race down the slope and wash the base out near the bottom. Once the base is gone, the asphalt above it sinks and cracks.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
We add cross-slope drainage and grade the driveway so water runs off the side instead of straight down. For washed-out sections, we rebuild the base before laying new asphalt.
Magnesium Chloride Brine Corrosion
Root Cause: CDOT sprays magnesium chloride brine on I-70 and Highway 74 as the main de-icer for mountain commuters. The brine sticks to tires and gets dragged onto your driveway. It soaks deep into the asphalt binder and breaks it down over time.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
Sealcoat every two to three years to block the brine and rebuild your surface protection. If your driveway already shows brine damage, we mill and overlay the affected areas, then finish with a full sealcoat.
UV Damage at Altitude
Root Cause: Evergreen sits more than a mile high, and UV light is about 25% stronger than at sea level. The sun bakes the binder out of asphalt fast, and the surface turns gray and brittle within a few years. Once the binder is gone, the rock breaks free and the surface ravels.
ENRIGHT SOLUTION
We sealcoat mountain driveways every two years to put the binder back on top of the surface. That slows down oxidation and keeps your asphalt flexible through the next summer.
What You Should Know About Paving in Evergreen
Evergreen’s terrain means soil conditions vary dramatically by site. Much of the area sits on decomposed granite and rocky substrate that drains well but requires careful excavation. Organic material from heavy tree coverage can create soft spots under driveways if not properly removed. These are not issues a contractor without mountain experience will automatically account for.
Jefferson County requires permits for driveway construction and commercial paving. Projects near wetlands or drainage courses have additional requirements. We pull the permits your project needs and coordinate everything before we break ground. For permit questions, Jefferson County Planning and Zoning is the right starting point.
