Driveways

Twin Cities Asphalt Driveway Experts

A smooth paved driveway is an understated luxury for any Twin Cities home. It improves your curb appeal and makes everyday life more livable because a durable, well-graded driveway is safer and more functional in every way.

Asphalt is the best driveway option for Minnesota’s cold winters, where freeze-thaw cycles can take their toll on the pavement, causing damage over time. Asphalt offers a durable option that withstands temperature extremes and provides a waterproof surface that endures for many years.

Beautiful asphalt pavement has been our specialty for nearly 50 years, and we’ve seen it all! Whether restoring an ancient, cracked driveway or installing a new asphalt surface, our customers say J&W Asphalt offers reasonable pricing and a super-efficient process.
