Asphalt Paving & Concrete Projects in Harper Woods Neighborhoods
Our gallery shows recent work near Kelly Road, 8 Mile, and the residential blocks around Beaconsfield where drainage, curb edges, and traffic loading decide how long pavement stays in service. The map also ties back to our owner's 30-year construction record, with each project added after we review the base, runoff path, and the way the lot will actually be used.
From Our Founder
A parking lot is only as good as the base-layers beneath it. At D&J Contracting, we refuse to 'pave over' existing site problems. We engineer every project to withstand the Michigan freeze-thaw cycle by prioritizing subbase integrity and precise drainage pitch. When you build on a correct foundation, your asset lasts decades, not just seasons.

Reviews from Harper Woods Property Managers
Commercial reviews in Harper Woods point to the same thing we see on every lot, proper base work, compaction, and drainage decide how long pavement stays in service. Our 38 years in Macomb show up in the feedback because owners judge us on performance after traffic and freeze thaw, not on day one.
Thank you again for a job well done.
Payment terms are outstanding in the last four years payments have always been on time.
The staff at D and J are great and very helpful if there is any issues.
My project involved multiple services and pulling permits and I had several quotes and most companies don't offer multiple services or don't pull permits and you have to do it yourself.
D & J is the only company who takes care of city permits and takes care of all the services you need from start to finish. They also update you on everything, keep you in a loop and confirms everything with you.
In our specific case we needed a curb cut, driveway leveled and parking lot sealed and coated so low sports vehicles can safely pull in without scraping the bottom and D & J did it so well you can pull in even on skateboard now.
Highly recommend D & J, top quality, smooth process.
Paving & Concrete Contractors Serving Harper Woods
We stage on Kelly Road and keep equipment out of customer lanes so businesses stay open during paving. Near the Eastland Center corridor, our crews plan sawcuts, haul routes, and truck turns before the first load arrives. That lets us protect concrete aprons, keep tie-ins tight, and finish sections in a sequence that limits downtime for storefronts and service drives across Harper Woods.

Harper Woods Commercial Pavement Repair & Maintenance
Base Before Surface
In Harper Woods, a lot only lasts when we lock down the subgrade and move water away from the pavement before the mat goes down.
- Dense subgrade compaction removes soft pockets under wheel paths, which keeps the surface from settling and saves owners from paying for early milling or full replacement.
- Controlled drainage flow keeps meltwater out of joints and edges, which protects the base from saturation and cuts the chance of frost heave in later seasons.
- Tight grade planning lets runoff leave fast at curbs, catch basins, and low points, which reduces patching calls and stretches the service life of the lot.

ABOUT US
38+ Years of Michigan Experience
Michigan's unique climate presents specific challenges for asphalt paving. With extreme temperature fluctuations, harsh winters, and freeze-thaw cycles, your pavement needs to be built to last.
Freeze-Thaw Damage
Michigan weather breaks parking lots by getting water into the structure first. In Harper Woods, that starts at cracks, open joints, curb edges, and low spots where meltwater sits after a thaw. Once that water reaches the base and freezes again at night, it expands and lifts the pavement from below. The surface may still look sound for a while, but the damage is already working through the support layer.
We stop that cycle by building the base correctly before any mat goes down. That means tightening soft subgrade, correcting grade so water moves off the lot, and using enough dense support under traffic lanes to keep wheel loads from pumping the base apart. On sites near Kelly Road or along 8 Mile traffic patterns, weak prep shows up fast as ruts, edge break, and heaving around entrances. Good asphalt starts underneath. If the base holds water, the pavement will fail with it.
Harper Woods Paving Permits & Safety Compliance
- Start with the Harper Woods city website so your project follows local review steps before milling, curb work, or drainage changes affect the lot.
- Check the Paving, Drainage, & ROW Permits page early, since right of way work and runoff changes can trigger extra review on a paving plan.
- Call in utility locates through Miss Dig 811 before excavation starts, because cutting into buried lines slows the job and creates avoidable risk for the property.
