New Construction Driveways · Minnesota
A driveway is one of the last things built and one of the first things noticed. On a new home, the pavement also has to work with the grading, the garage floor, the road approach, and whatever the other trades left behind.
Written estimate · No obligation
New driveway serving a Minnesota home
Base depth and pavement section are set from the soil, drainage, and expected use — not a stock number.
Scheduled around the work that still has to reach the house so the new drive is not cut up afterwards.
Garage apron, walkways, and street approach are set to match the finished elevations.
Written scope and clear scheduling, sized to fit a closing or occupancy timeline.
How the work is decided
Paving is the wrong job to rush. The house has to be far enough along that heavy deliveries are finished, the grading is complete, downspouts and utility trenches are in, and the subgrade has had a chance to dry.
If paving happens while the site is still being worked, you get the worst outcome: fresh pavement, then a truck or excavator crosses it. We will tell you when the site is actually ready rather than book a date and hope.
The base is designed for the site. Soil type, subsurface water, how the lot drains, and what will drive on the surface all feed into the section we propose. That is why a responsible estimate is based on the site, not on a square-foot price alone.
If the subgrade is soft or wet, that is resolved before pavement is placed. Building on a base that cannot support the load is the most reliable way to create a driveway that fails early.
The drive is usually the access route for landscapers, concrete crews, and final deliveries. We plan placement so those trades can finish first, or we protect the work if the schedule forces overlap.
For builders, that planning belongs in the schedule early. A short conversation before the driveway is booked usually prevents the expensive version of this problem.
Finished elevations decide whether a car enters the garage without scraping and whether water runs away from the door. We set the apron to meet the garage floor and the grade so both work.
At the street, the approach has to meet the existing road, the curb or ditch, and any culvert. Where a new curb cut or a change at the street is involved, local requirements apply and are confirmed with the city beforehand.
Water should leave the pavement by design: across the surface, along the grade, and into a swale, ditch, or storm connection that can actually take it. That is decided during grading, not added afterwards.
Timing depends on weather, plant availability, and the rest of the site. We give a realistic window with the understanding that asphalt placement depends on temperatures and dry conditions — a schedule that ignores that is not worth much.

Site Assessment
We look at the pavement, the base, drainage and transitions. This is what the estimate is built on.
Written Estimate
You receive a written scope describing what is included, what is excluded, and the price.
Scheduling
If you accept, the work is scheduled when site conditions, materials and crew availability allow.
New-build schedules often slip. We would rather place pavement in spring on a ready site than install it late in the season on ground that is not prepared for it.
We work across the Twin Cities metro and surrounding Minnesota communities, including:
St. Paul · Minneapolis · West St. Paul · South St. Paul · North St. Paul · Maplewood · Roseville · Little Canada · Mendota Heights · Inver Grove Heights · Eagan · Woodbury · Oakdale · Cottage Grove · Newport · St. Paul Park · Lake Elmo · Stillwater
