Asphalt walking paths, cart paths and trails

Paths are a different kind of paving job. The tonnage is small, the access is tight and the path often winds past trees, ponds and backyards where a full-size paver can't go. That is exactly why larger paving companies tend to price them high or pass on them, and why we like them.

Our current site describes path work for the City of Anchorage, Lake Forest and Oldham County parks, and a private homeowner path in Seneca Gardens. We use a narrow path paver and small rollers so we can place and compact asphalt on paths a few feet wide without tearing up the ground around them.

A path that lasts starts with the subgrade. We cut to a consistent depth, set edging where it is needed, place and compact a stone base, and then pave with enough crown or cross-slope to shed water. Where a path crosses low ground we look at drainage before we pave, since standing water at the edges is what breaks paths down.

We also resurface existing paths. Many park and HOA trails can be milled or overlaid rather than rebuilt, and we can repair root heaves and broken edges as part of the same job.

Frequently asked questions

How wide can you pave a path?

We use equipment that can pave narrow residential paths as well as wider multi-use trails. Tell us the width you have in mind and we'll confirm the approach.

Do you work with cities and parks?

Yes. We can price public bid documents and work with park and city staff on access, scheduling and protecting the surrounding grounds.
