Mentor, Ohio
Mentor Paving Built For Ohio's Busiest Suburb
From Great Lakes Mall to the quiet subdivisions off Reynolds Rd, Mentor keeps us busy. We know the HOA rules, the retail phasing windows and the lakefront sub-grades.
Local Overview
Paving & Concrete in Mentor, Lake County
Mentor is the biggest suburb in Lake County and it's a paving town: thousands of driveways, hundreds of retail lots, and constant salt exposure from SR-2 and I-90. Every zip code — 44060, 44061, 44094 — has slightly different soil, and we build the base to match.
Our residential work skews toward mid-century ranches near Center St and newer builds by Wayside. Our commercial work centers on the Mentor Ave and Tyler Blvd corridors where we can turn a 40,000 sq-ft overlay in a single weekend without shutting down a single tenant.

What We Build In Mentor
Residential Paving
Ranch and colonial driveway replacements, keyhole extensions, and RV pads. We match sub-grade prep to your specific street — sandy near the lake, clay south of Jackson St.
Commercial Paving
Retail plazas, medical office campuses, gyms and grocery-anchored centers along Mentor Ave and Heisley. Night pours, striping and clean re-openings by store hours.
Driveways
Hot-mix asphalt or 6" reinforced concrete, precision edge-cut against your Mentor city sidewalk, sealed and warranted.
Parking Lots
New construction, mill-and-overlay, ADA re-striping, wheel stops, bollards and signage — bonded and insured for large-property owners.
Concrete
Sidewalks that pass Mentor city inspection, garage aprons pitched away from the slab, and stamped-concrete patios for backyard builds off Lakeshore.
Drainage
Sump-line tie-ins, French drains along foundations, and yard basins to move Mentor's summer thunderstorms off your lot before they undermine the base.

Mentor Paving FAQs
How long will a new Mentor driveway last?+
A properly built asphalt driveway in Mentor — 3" of hot-mix over a compacted 4"+ limestone base — will run 20–25 years with a sealcoat every 2–3 years. Concrete typically pushes 30+ years with control joints cut in the first 24 hours.
Do you work in Mentor-on-the-Lake?+
Yes. The lakefront lots off Andrews Rd and Lakeshore Blvd have very sandy sub-grade, which we love — natural drainage — but we still install a full limestone base to keep long-term settlement flat.
Can you pave in front of Great Lakes Mall or the shopping plazas?+
We do overlays, patching and striping for retail plazas throughout the Mentor Ave corridor. Work is scheduled overnight or on Sunday mornings so store traffic isn't disrupted.
What's the price range for a Mentor driveway?+
A typical 2-car Mentor driveway runs $4,500–$8,500 for asphalt and $9,000–$16,000 for concrete depending on tear-out, base repair and square footage. On-site estimates are always free and always written.
Do Mentor HOAs have paving rules we need to follow?+
Several — including Hopkins Landing, Heisley Park and the developments off Reynolds — have color, edge and setback requirements. We've paved in most of them and know the standards before we submit.
