Surfaces that perform consistently and reduce long‑term maintenance cost.

Temperature swings from ‑30°F to 95°F, heavy vehicle traffic and the demands of winter snow removal put serious stress on asphalt. Glacier provides full‑service commercial asphalt paving, reconstruction and resurfacing backed by experienced crews and proper planning. Whether you manage a retail center, distribution facility, healthcare campus or office park, the work is designed to minimize disruption and maximize lifecycle performance, with a focus on proper groundwork, quality materials and expert execution.

Asphalt Paving

Commercial asphalt services.

Asphalt work is scoped and priced per project after a walk of the property. Pick a category to see the scope.

New asphalt construction

New paving projects built from the ground up, where groundwork matters more than the surface course.

01

Site preparation & grading

Proper grading established before any material is placed, so water leaves the surface instead of sitting on it.

02

Base installation & compaction

Aggregate base installed and compacted to spec for the traffic the lot will actually carry.

03

High‑performance asphalt placement

Hot mix placed and compacted in lifts by experienced crews.

04

ADA‑compliant layouts

Accessible stalls, routes and transitions designed into the layout from the start.

New construction

Reconstruction & base correction

When the base has failed, surface work only buys time. Reconstruction addresses the cause instead of the symptom.

01

Full‑depth reconstruction

Failed pavement removed to depth and rebuilt.

02

Base work & structural rebuilding

Structural base repaired or replaced where it can no longer carry load.

03

Soil correction & subgrade stabilization

Unstable subgrade corrected before paving back.

04

Drainage improvements

Grading and drainage corrected to prevent the same failure returning.

Reconstruction

Mill and overlay

A cost‑effective way to extend pavement life when the base is still structurally sound.

01

Milling & removal

Damaged surface layers milled off and hauled.

02

Surface correction & leveling

Grade and ponding issues corrected before the overlay goes down.

03

Overlay installation

New asphalt surface placed to extend pavement lifespan.

04

Transition matching

Edges and transitions matched for seamless integration with adjacent surfaces.

Mill & overlay

Structural repair, patching & emergency work

Targeted repair for areas that have already failed, including the winter calls that cannot wait for spring.

01

Structural patching

Failed pavement sections removed and structurally patched.

02

Large‑area patching

Larger failed areas addressed as part of a lifecycle maintenance plan.

03

Crack repair & surface restoration

Crack repair and surface restoration aligned with existing pavement condition.

04

Winter & emergency repair

Winter pothole patching, emergency asphalt repair, and temporary stabilization until permanent repairs can be completed.

Repair & patching

Predictable, end to end.

The same four steps run every project, whether it is one patch or a full reconstruction. Predictability is what makes the quote match the invoice.

Structural evaluation

We evaluate structural condition and drainage, then recommend repair, resurfacing or reconstruction based on lifecycle performance rather than a short‑term fix.

Scope & written quote

Groundwork, materials and layout specified up front so the quote reflects the actual work.

Phased scheduling

Phased plans that reduce disruption and maintain accessibility wherever possible.

Maintenance plan

New surface enrolled in lifecycle maintenance, crack sealing and sealcoating, to protect the investment.

Asked & answered.

The questions we hear most often from property managers evaluating Glacier for this service.

With proper maintenance, commercial asphalt typically lasts 15 to 25 years depending on traffic levels, climate exposure and maintenance practices. Neglected surfaces fail considerably sooner, maintenance is what determines where in that range you land.
Minor cracking and localized damage usually calls for repair. Widespread structural failure indicates resurfacing or full reconstruction. We evaluate structural conditions and recommend based on lifecycle performance rather than short‑term fixes.
Extensive or alligator cracking, potholes and surface deformation, drainage issues or pooling water, uneven surfaces creating safety hazards, and frequent repeat repairs. Not all of these require full replacement, but catching them early prevents costly failures.
Yes. We develop phased scheduling plans that reduce disruption and maintain accessibility wherever possible. Lots are typically split into sections with posted tenant notice.
Our climate causes expansion and contraction that accelerates cracking and deterioration. Proper drainage and ongoing maintenance are essential to longevity, which is why we treat drainage as part of the paving scope, not an afterthought.
