Painesville's Home-Town Paving Crew
We live here, our trucks are stored here, and most of our crew grew up between Mentor Ave and Richmond St. When you call, a Painesville truck is usually 10 minutes from your driveway.
Local Overview
Paving & Concrete in Painesville, Lake County
Painesville is the Lake County seat and it shows in the pavement — a mix of 1900s brick side streets, mid-century subdivisions off Nye Rd, and newer builds along Fairport Nursery. Each era brought its own sub-base problems, and we've dug into every one of them.
The city's clay-heavy soils, high winter salt load off SR-2, and the constant freeze-thaw off Lake Erie mean shortcuts don't last here. We spec extra base, tack coat every seam, and compact in lifts because the alternative is a call-back two Marches from now.

What We Build In Painesville
Residential Paving
Full driveway tear-outs, extensions, ribbon-drive infills and rear-yard parking pads. We match the pitch of your Painesville sidewalk apron so the city inspector never has a reason to knock.
Commercial Paving
Small storefronts on Main St, downtown lots behind Painesville Square, medical plazas along Mentor Ave. We phase night pours so businesses stay open through the workweek.
Driveways
3-inch hot-mix on 4–6 inches of compacted #57 limestone, edged clean, rolled hot. Concrete alternatives available with fiber mesh and control-joints cut on the same day.
Parking Lots
Overlays and full replacements from 5-space lots to 200+ space developments. ADA striping, wheel stops and catch-basin resets included.
Concrete
Aprons, sidewalks, garage slabs, patio pads and steps — all 4,000 psi minimum with rebar or wire mesh depending on span.
Drainage
Painesville's older combined-sewer areas back up fast. We install trench drains, dry wells and re-pitched aprons that get water off your slab and into the storm system, not your basement.

Painesville Paving FAQs
How fast can you start a Painesville driveway?+
For most Painesville residential jobs we can be on site within one to three weeks. City permits pulled through the Painesville Building Department typically clear in 3–5 business days when we handle the paperwork for you.
Do I need a Painesville city permit to repave?+
A straight-tear-out and replace of an existing driveway usually does not require a permit inside the city. Adding a new curb cut on a Painesville street, widening past the original apron, or paving in the right-of-way does. We'll confirm before the crew rolls in.
What thickness do you install for Painesville homes?+
Standard for city-lot driveways is 3 inches of hot-mix asphalt over 4 inches of #57 limestone base. For clay-heavy lots off Mentor Ave and Bank St we bump the base to 6 inches to avoid the freeze-thaw heaving Lake County is known for.
How do you handle the old brick and slag under some Painesville drives?+
Older homes near downtown often have brick, cinder or coal-slag sub-base. We excavate to competent soil, roll in a fresh limestone base and geotextile fabric where the sub-grade is soft — never pave straight over unstable fill.
Do you sealcoat in Painesville?+
Yes — we recommend the first sealcoat 9–12 months after install and again every 2–3 years. It's the single best defense against the salt trucks that run Mentor Ave all winter.
