What we do know is asphalt.

Sommerset delivers asphalt paving services built for Michigan conditions and real-world use. As experienced paving contractors serving Ann Arbor and nearby communities, we handle commercial, municipal, and residential paving services with the same care and professionalism. Every asphalt paving project is treated as a long-term investment, not a short-term fix.

Our team designs and installs asphalt pavement that accounts for traffic load, drainage, and freeze and thaw cycles. From parking lots to neighborhood streets and private driveways, we build durable asphalt surfaces that support daily use and protect property value.

Asphalt Removal and Repair

Even quality work reaches a point where maintenance alone cannot keep up. Over time, asphalt surfaces show signs of fatigue such as cracks, potholes, and pooling water. Michigan weather accelerates this process, especially when base materials and grading are no longer supporting the surface.

We evaluate asphalt pavement carefully before recommending repairs or replacement. When damage affects a large portion of the surface, full removal and replacement often save money over repeated patching. This applies to commercial parking lots, residential driveways, and high-traffic access roads.

If you are weighing repair versus replacement, our asphalt services include clear inspections and reliable estimates so you can make informed decisions.

Cold Plane Asphalt Milling

When the asphalt surface fails but the foundation remains sound, milling is often the most responsible option. We remove the damaged top layer while preserving the base materials underneath.

The reclaimed asphalt is processed and reused, reducing debris and supporting sustainable paving practices. After milling, we install a fresh asphalt surface, compact it with specialized equipment, and restore proper drainage.

This method is commonly used on commercial properties and municipal sites across Michigan. It extends pavement life, controls cost, and keeps disruption to a minimum. Reach out to see if milling fits your location and budget.

New Asphalt Construction

Every new asphalt installation starts below the surface. Before work begins, we assess soil conditions, drainage patterns, and grading requirements to ensure long-term performance. Proper preparation is essential to creating a durable asphalt surface that withstands Michigan weather.

We install crushed stone and base materials designed to support traffic and resist shifting. Careful compaction and quality materials reduce future cracks, standing water, and premature repairs.

Whether the project serves a business, municipality, or homeowner, our services focus on reliability, longevity, and customer satisfaction.

Asphalt Driveways

Residential paving services deserve the same level of expertise as commercial work. A single-layer driveway may lower upfront cost, but it often leads to early cracks, surface movement, and water damage.

We install asphalt driveways using a layered system that improves strength and durability. The base layer supports weight while the surface layer provides a smooth, clean finish. Homeowners across Ann Arbor and surrounding neighborhoods appreciate the long-term value of this approach.

If you are planning a new driveway or replacing an existing one, our team can guide you through the process and expectations.
