Our Parking Lot Paving Process
We start with a detailed consultation to understand your goals and budget. Our team inspects the site, clears the area, and prepares the ground for paving. If needed, we perform cold milling to remove existing asphalt down to the subgrade for a solid foundation. Careful preparation ensures proper drainage and a smooth, even surface that will hold up over time.
A strong lot starts with a strong base. We install a graded gravel foundation, then apply hot asphalt with precision paving machines for a consistent finish. Every joint is hot-rolled for seamless transitions, and our crews follow strict compaction testing protocols to maximize durability.
Once the asphalt is in place, we compact the surface with vibratory rollers, then add crisp, high-visibility striping and traffic markings. Your parking lot will be safe, organized, and ready to handle vehicles the moment we finish.

Business leadership is a long game, and so is asphalt maintenance. From spring thaw until the ground’s too cold for paving, we’ll fix any issues with your pavement, perform routine touch-ups and refresh the sealant. As a result, your parking lot can last up to 25 years. If you think it might be time for a removal and replacement, don’t hesitate to reach out for a complimentary inspection and honest advice.
When damage strikes, our cold-plane asphalt milling technique comes to the rescue. Not only does it save the sub-base, but it’s also eco-friendly and cost-effective. We ensure your investment lasts by extending the pavement’s lifespan by up to eight years.
When it comes to new asphalt construction, we don’t just lay down pavement – we craft enduring solutions tailored to your specific needs. From meticulous site planning to focused project management, we guarantee long-lasting results that stand the test of time.
“I’d love it if my driveway was a trip and slip hazard,” says no one ever. Whether it’s your kids running their hearts out and riding bikes on an August afternoon or yourself stepping out of the car after commuting through a snowstorm, everyone needs a strong and smooth driveway that repels water and withstands temperature swings. By applying two layers of asphalt, our team will ensure your driveway says “welcome home” for many years.
Cool fact: Asphalt is 100% reusable and is one of the most recycled products in the United States. Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is an affordable and earth-conscious option for your parking lot or driveway. RAP has a few advantages over traditional paving which uses crushed limestone aggregate. Because RAP is smoother, cars kick up less dust, snow plows can’t displace it as easily and the overall look of RAP is more aesthetically pleasing.
Asphalt recycling happens in many ways. Most newly produced asphalt contains recycled material; case in point, some amount of recycled asphalt goes into nearly all of Sommerset’s projects.
100% recycled asphalt is useful as the sub-base for your pavement or as the surface material itself in place of another crushed aggregate or concrete.
We work with businesses, schools, places of worship, property managers, and municipalities to build parking lots that look professional and perform reliably. Our projects are designed to minimize disruption, maximize safety, and protect your investment for years to come.
At Sommerset, we understand that each paving job is different. Whether it’s fixing the drainage system, perfecting the surface grade, performing maintenance or painting stripes, we combine engineering brainpower with the eye of an artist and the hands of a craftsman.
When you choose Sommerset for your parking lot, you’re not hiring a crew that’ll swoop in, do the job and forget about it the moment the last truck drives off. You’re hiring a group of friendly, hardworking people who believe innovation is a team sport and every job is a chance to outdo ourselves. You’re hiring a communication company that happens to do paving. You’re teaming up with locals who genuinely care about building and maintaining roads that bring everyone in southern Michigan home. Meaning? if we’re on-site and spot something extra that needs doing, we’ll handle it because that’s what neighbors do.
Lastly, we actually communicate, and clients tell us we do it pretty well. If you’ve worked with other contractors in the past, chances are you’ve experienced inconsistent, unclear or unprofessional communication. But it shouldn’t be that way.
Call it our uncommon background. Call it caring. We call it common sense and business as usual.
