Your parking lot is your customer’s first impression of your business. Our team will evaluate your existing lot and work with you to provide a cost-effective, quality, custom solution. Whether your lot needs to be asphalt patched, resurfaced or totally reconstructed, we will address your current concerns and exceed your expectations.
Everyone has played on a chipped, cracked or uneven surface at some point in their lives. For children and adults of all ages, a play surface that is planned and built properly can provide decades of fun. We create new recreation spaces that are built to last, from basketball or badminton courts to pickleball and tennis courts.
If your current drive has adequate drainage and aggregate base but is starting to crack and show signs of fatigue, it could be a candidate for resurfacing. We will asphalt patch any areas of high distress, grind butt joints at locations that tie-in with existing improvements and resurface your drive with a new layer of top-quality asphalt. This will improve the integrity and appearance of your drive for years to come.
For your new home. A driveway needs to be done right. Once we have assessed the current soil and drainage conditions, we will install the proper depths of aggregate base and asphalt pavement. Layer-by-layer, our team will create a cost-effective and durable driveway surface that looks and feels like a natural extension of your new home.
The typical driveway can only last so many winters in the Midwest. Once your drive is to the point of no return, our team will completely remove the existing surface and evaluate the underlying aggregate base. We will address drainage concerns, supplement or replace the current aggregate base and resurface your driveway with a new asphalt mat.
For decades, Helm Commercial and Residential has assisted municipalities in keeping roads safe for the travelling public. From pothole repair and trench patching after a sewer or water main break, to grinding and resurfacing residential streets, our crews can mobilize quickly and efficiently to provide high quality, low cost asphalt paving and repair solutions.
