Asphalt Paving in Loveland, CO

Asphalt paving in Loveland means working across several generations of pavement at once. The city counted 30,215 people in 1980, 50,608 in 2000 and 76,378 in 2020, and the Census estimated 81,387 by mid-2025. Driveways from the 1970s sit a few blocks from ones poured last summer. The older ones often need a full rebuild; the newer ones mostly need sealing and crack work to keep them from aging early.

Owners who stay put

Census QuickFacts for 2020 to 2024 shows 62.2 percent of Loveland homes owner-occupied, a median owner-occupied value of $479,000 and 86.6 percent of residents in the same house a year earlier. With values like that, a cracked, heaved driveway is one of the first things a buyer notices, and maintenance pays back for the owner who stays.

Weather at 4,997 feet

Loveland averages about 47 inches of snow and 15.6 inches of total precipitation a year. The record high is 106 degrees, set July 19, 2022, and the record low is 31 below, set December 22, 1990. That range means asphalt here goes from soft and sticky in July to brittle in January. Snow melts on sunny afternoons and refreezes overnight, which works water into every crack. Sealing cracks before the first hard freeze is the cheapest thing a Loveland owner can do for a driveway.

Clay under the lawn

The Colorado Geological Survey lists cracked and heaved driveways among the most common signs of expansive clay in the state. We see it most where downspouts dump next to the driveway or sprinklers soak the edge all summer. On replacements, we dig out soft or wet subgrade and rebuild it with compacted base, and we redirect water away from the pavement where we can.

The right-of-way permit

Loveland splits right-of-way permits in two. A Minor ROW permit covers concrete work such as driveway approaches and sidewalks. A Major ROW permit covers any other work in the right-of-way, no matter how small. Applications need an insurance certificate naming the city and a traffic control plan, review takes up to ten business days, and permits stay valid for 90 days. If your driveway ends at the existing concrete approach, the permit usually does not come into play. If the approach is being replaced or widened, we build that into the schedule.

Along US 34 and at Centerra

US 34 runs east to west through the city as Eisenhower Boulevard, and the I-25 interchange at Centerra is one of the region's main commercial hubs. Business lots along these corridors take steady traffic and plow damage. We pave, patch, seal and restripe commercial lots and phase the work so customers can still get in.
