Great paving should never make you choose between quality work and a professional experience.

At Sommerset Paving, asphalt paving is both a craft and a responsibility.

We serve commercial properties, municipal projects, and residential driveways across Ann Arbor and Southeast Michigan with paving solutions designed for daily use and long-term performance.

If you are searching for a paving company in the Ann Arbor area, you deserve clear communication, durable materials, and a process that supports informed decisions from start to finish.

A Local Paving Company With A Personal Approach

Pavement is part of how communities function.

For property managers and local businesses, parking lots and walkways affect safety, accessibility, and curb appeal. For municipalities, roadways reflect public trust. For homeowners, an asphalt driveway is tied to daily life and property value.

Sommerset is a family owned paving company that assigns one knowledgeable project manager to each job. That single point of contact oversees the entire process, answers questions, and ensures the work is completed to a high standard without cutting corners.

Commercial Asphalt Paving

Commercial pavement does not get the luxury of downtime. Parking lots, access roads, and shared drive lanes need to perform every day under steady traffic, changing weather, and real-world use. We work with property managers, HOAs, and industrial sites to deliver asphalt parking lot solutions that balance safety, longevity, and efficient scheduling.

Residential Asphalt Paving

Residential asphalt driveway
An asphalt driveway is part of daily life, even when it fades into the background. Cars come and go, snow piles up, and the surface quietly takes the wear.

Residential driveways receive the same preparation and care as our commercial and municipal projects. From upgrading a gravel driveway to replacing an existing asphalt or concrete surface, homeowners who choose Sommerset Paving benefit from quality materials, proper installation techniques, and surfaces built to handle Michigan weather.

Asphalt Repair And Maintenance

Asphalt repair and maintenance work
Unlike a fine wine or a well-timed investment, asphalt pavement does not improve with age. Sun, snow, traffic, and moisture all take their toll, causing cracks to spread, surfaces to fade, and safety concerns to creep in.

Sommerset’s asphalt repair and maintenance services address those issues before they become expensive problems. Through crack sealing, sealcoating, and targeted repairs, we help extend pavement life and keep surfaces functional, safe, and looking respectable for years to come.

Concrete Paving

Concrete paving project
Concrete demands respect. It is less forgiving than asphalt and far less interested in shortcuts. Soil conditions, drainage, and finishing technique all play an outsized role in how concrete performs over time, especially in Michigan’s freeze and thaw cycles.

Sommerset provides concrete paving for sidewalks, curbs, walkways, and high-load areas where strength and stability matter most. When concrete is poured with intention and finished with care, it delivers clean lines, long life, and dependable performance.

Asphalt Milling And Recycling

Asphalt milling equipment
Asphalt does not always need to be replaced to start over. When surface damage has not reached the base, milling allows us to remove worn asphalt, recycle it, and prepare the surface for a new layer.

This process restores proper grade, improves drainage, and extends pavement life while reducing material waste. It is a smart option for parking lots and roadways that still have a solid foundation beneath them.

Parking Lot Paving

Parking lot with fresh asphalt
A parking lot works harder than most people realize. It carries daily traffic, supports heavy vehicles, and quietly shapes first impressions for customers and tenants alike. Sommerset builds parking lots with clear traffic flow, durable materials, and long-term performance in mind. The result is a surface that looks professional, functions safely, and holds up under constant use.

Aggregate Surfaces

Aggregate gravel road surface
Not every surface needs asphalt or concrete to perform well. Aggregate surfaces offer a practical alternative for private roads, drive lanes, and lower-traffic areas.

With proper grading and compaction, these surfaces manage water effectively and provide reliable access without unnecessary expense. Built correctly, aggregate can be both durable and intentional.

Site Grading

Site grading and preparation
Good pavement starts long before asphalt is placed. Site grading determines how water moves, how surfaces settle, and how long pavement will last. Sommerset approaches grading with an eye toward drainage, stability, and future performance.

When the ground beneath the surface is prepared properly, everything built on top has a better chance of standing the test of time.
