Get matched with top asphalt paving installers in Waconia, MN

"Added a parking pad alongside my driveway to allow for offstreet parking for all our cars during the winter. also widened the driveway to eliminate tight curve of existing driveway and eliminate accidental driving on lawn. Aurora Asphalt met with me, heard my problem, and offered an excellent solution. Upon completion the new driveway matches very well and looks as if it was all part of the original installation."

"Jim called back within hours of me leaving a message, and insisted on coming out to take a look at the damage prior to providing an estimate.  My driveway had holes and cracks that I knew needed to be repaired, and i called 3 other companies before contacting the Asphalt Company.  One insisted i neded a new driveway without looking at it first (and quoting $3500!), the other never even called me back.  The third quoted me on the repairs, but they weren't on Angies List, so I thought i would try one more - definitely glad I did!  Jim came in at the same price as the other company, but the responsiveness and quality of work were much better.  Even after the job was done, he came back to patch up a smal hole my wife made when her heel sunk into the soft asphalt. <br /> <br /> Excellent work, great responsiveness.  Price could be better, but in all honesty, i don't have a lot of experience with asphalt work - so it seemed fair when i looked around.  Definitely cheaper than the new driveway the first company wanted to do! <br /> <br /> Would definitely recommend The Asphalt Company, and I will use them again."

"Tear out team arrived on time  and removed old asphalt driveway. They then installed and leveled three inches of new base. The next day it started to rain and did so for about three days. The installation date was moved out to allow everything to dry properly. Things did not seem to dry out, so the area supervisor came back out and determined that there was too much clay beneath the new base, He had his crew come out and remove the new base and clay and reinstall the base again. In a few days everything dried properly and a new asphalt driveway was installed. The driveway is 16 feet wide and 60 feet long. I am very pleased with the finished job. I would highly recommend them. <br />"

"It took awhile, likely due to year end scheduling. I accepted their bid mid Sept, the old driveway was removed in mild October, and the new asphalt was just laid today in mid November. Their price was the best quote I received from a contractor who could prove licensing and insurance and their guarantee is five times industry standard at 10 years. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and professional and the finished product looks marvelous. Overall, I'm very satisfied."

"DMJ installed our original driveway and now completed our large addition. Excellent service again!"

"The process went quickly with detail showed in every step of the process. We asked and hoped that the raising would not cause the opposite end of the sidewalk to be raised above the point where it meets the driveway. There was no guarantee it would be that way, but they worked hard to make it level and safe.  For the sidewalk to be raised 2", we didn't want a stumble step to be created and be 2" above the driveway. They were able to raise it and leave a pitch so the water would drain properly and both ends of the sidewalk were right on. <br /> This process creates an huge mess. They cleaned everything and even filled the part of the garden next to the sidewalk with some black dirt. They were prepared to handle everything and make it right. <br />"

"The original work was done well and in a timely manner.  It is the follow up that I am having trouble with.  Two months after the driveway was completed, my daughter parked on the driveway and her wheel sunk into the asphalt.  I called twice to have them fill the hollow spot before winter.  They said they would come but never did.  I called last week to have them come and fill the indent which I believe should be an under-warranty repair.  Today I received an estimate of $360 of proposed additional work.  I am not happy with the way this has been handled. <br />"

"Summer 2014:  <br /> Though intended for Plehal Blacktopping, this recommendation applies; to three companies that did excellent work for us but, especially with each other, in coordinating competing projects: Andy Pietig Concrete, Plehal Blacktop and Rain-Man Irrigation.  <br /> The job was very complex for Plehal Blacktop:  to install an asphalt driveway to match paver-borders where each project needed to be done ?before the other because ? it also needed a ?Gap? cut into the new asphalt for a paver-sidewalk that separated the replaced driveway and a new asphalt section called a ?Patio?, where matching 'before and after' elevations, between pavers and compacted asphalt, was no small trick. <br /> We are on a circle, which makes driveway edges, curves or bends meet other sections at odd angles that must both do the job and look like it was 'done on purpose'.. <br /> I?d planned to personally instal 1000 pavers but then, I was struck ill and limited to ?doing nothing? for about 3 weeks and had to call in Andy Pietig Concrete, that had done excellent concrete and paver work for us about 2 years ago, installing a paver patio + concrete pad.  <br /> Andy (who was extremely busy at the time) worked us into his schedule and coordinated with Plehal Blacktop regarding the interlocking sequences for installing pavers and blacktop and then later cutting a ?paver? gap into the new asphalt extension. Plehall did the excavation and Class V fill, which Andy?s guys then shaved to 'paver-height' for sand-fill plus snap-edge on inner and outer faces.  <br /> They VERY CAREFULLY LAID CORNERS WERE CUT EXACTLY AS PLANNED. We have received numerous  compliments from neighbors and even passersby, stopping on our circle to ask who?d done the work.  I?ll take credit for layout and paver-pattern designs but not for the excellent execution by Pietig and Plehal. <br /> Plehal's asphalt work was PERFECTLY ROLLED to meet the paver-heights -- and pitched for good drainage in three directions. <br /> Andy?s team was expert at matching block patterns around bends and corners and at meeting points with a garage sidewalk and the ?Gap?, a 15? ?sidewalk? separating a new extension from the replaced driveway. <br /> Without our mention, they replaced a handful of damaged or imperfectly cut blocks, even returning more than once to clean up details that only they had noticed. <br /> Special mention goes to Andrew, Andy?s Team Leader, an extremely conscientious expert, whose detail work, experience and artistic eye showed everywhere. He returned more that once to finish or touch up details. <br /> So, in a difficult period, when we really needed help, to get a long-planned job finally done, Plehal was extremely patient with our plans and delays and Pietig stepped up politely and frequently to get everything accomplished.  <br /> Their final product looks excellent. As it turned out, one of my neighbors had used Plehal, commercially, many times and was quite pleased with our choice.  <br /> Merged into all of this was a previously planned IRRIGATION PROJECT that impacted every edge, which required burying PVC pipe deep under the fill base, to carry irrigation tube, phone and cable lines. Again, the layout was mine and their execution was better. <br /> Irrigation work (including a clever and complex design) was accomplished by Luke, Shane, et.al. from Mr. Rain Irrigation. They worked smoothly around the congested ?work area? and came back several times, to adjust sprinkler locations and head-heights after the pavers and sod were installed. Again, they were at least as responsive, thorough and cooperative as Plehal and Pietig and their quite varied layout and design had to solve a dozen, problematic, narrow, triangular or sloping-wedge areas. <br /> We have long considered, planned and designed this year?s work and, to finally get this all done, with this high level of service and finished quality, we could not have chosen three companies better equipped, skilled and managed! <br /> Bill D."

"Minta Driveway Services is a terrific company to work with. Tony kept in touch as the schedule had to keep changing due to the weather. They did a great job and we are super pleased with the new apron! I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs asphalt work done."

"The driveway looks good after 3 years. I used the coupon offered through Angie's List. The previous driveway was removed and widened. The asphalt was laid carefully and packed well. They cleaned up."
