Asphalt Paving in Lakewood, CO
Lakewood runs along Denver's western edge, south of Golden and Wheat Ridge, and covers everything from the Belmar and Green Mountain neighborhoods to older streets closer to Sixth Avenue. It's the largest nearby city we cover by population, and the range of housing ages there means driveway condition varies block to block more than in a newer suburb.
What We Handle in Lakewood
Driveway Paving in Lakewood
Lakewood's age spread, from mid-century ranch homes near Sixth Avenue to newer construction around Belmar, means we see everything from full driveway replacements on decades-old asphalt to first installs on properties that never had one.
Driveway Sealcoating in Lakewood
Older Lakewood driveways, particularly the ones that predate Belmar's redevelopment, are the properties most likely to have gone a decade or more without a sealcoat, and that's usually the first thing we flag on an estimate there.
Asphalt Repair & Resurfacing in Lakewood
Green Mountain's clay-heavy soil shifts more with seasonal moisture than a lot of the flatter ground closer to Arvada, and that shifting is a common cause of the alligator cracking we get called out to repair in that part of Lakewood.
Paver Patios & Walkways in Lakewood
Paver walkways connecting to city sidewalks in Lakewood can fall under the same right-of-way permit rules as driveway aprons, since Lakewood's municipal code treats any structure or excavation in the public way the same way regardless of whether it's asphalt or pavers.
Commercial Parking Lot Paving in Lakewood
Retail and office lots around Belmar get scheduled for night or weekend paving when the property manager needs to keep the lot open during business hours, same approach we use on any occupied commercial site.
Local Notes for Lakewood
Lakewood is the biggest city on our service list, an estimated 156,927 residents per the Census Bureau's July 2025 count, and it governs work in its right-of-way under its own municipal code. Section 12.04.050 requires a right-of-way permit before grading, altering, constructing, or repairing any structure, and before excavating, obstructing, or disturbing existing improvements in the public way, and the code's language is broad enough that it covers driveway apron work as well as sidewalk and curb repair. The code also notes that a right-of-way permit doesn't grant any private ownership right in the right-of-way itself, which matters if a driveway extension is being planned near a property line. We check Lakewood's permit requirement before quoting rather than after.

Lakewood Paving Questions
Do you cover both Belmar and the older Lakewood neighborhoods?
Yes. We take jobs across Lakewood, from newer Belmar-area properties to older streets near Green Mountain and Sixth Avenue. Housing age varies a lot block to block there, which is normal for a city Lakewood's size.
Does Lakewood require a permit for driveway repair, not just new installs?
It can. Lakewood Municipal Code 12.04.050 covers altering or repairing structures in the public right-of-way, not just new construction, so a driveway apron repair can trigger the same permit requirement as a full replacement depending on where the work falls.
We also cover Wheat Ridge, CO, Golden, CO, and work out of our Arvada shop across the wider Denver metro. See our full service list or every city we cover on the service areas page.
