Commercial Paving & Site Contractors in Richmond, MI
D&J Contracting is the commercial paving contractor Richmond property owners call for full-site solutions. We manage asphalt, concrete, and drainage as one system, so pavement performs under traffic instead of failing at the edges.
That approach reflects 38 years in Michigan and the way we plan jobs across Macomb, from base support to runoff control, before a single load goes down.

Commercial Asphalt, Concrete & Snow Management in Richmond
Richmond properties need pavement work that solves real problems, cracked lots, broken edges, standing water, winter access issues, and surfaces that wear out before the base does.
- Commercial Asphalt Paving for lots that have failed under traffic and need a new surface built on sound support.
- Concrete & Curbing for broken edges, damaged walkways, and curb lines that let water and traffic keep chewing up the lot.
- Commercial Snow Removal for sites that need clear drives, open stalls, and less plow damage during winter storms.
- Parking Lot Maintenance for owners trying to stop small cracks and surface wear before they turn into bigger repairs.
- Site Drainage for lots where runoff sits too long and keeps weakening the pavement from underneath.
Richmond Asphalt Paving Near Main and Gratiot
Asphalt Paving & Concrete Projects in Richmond Neighborhoods
Our gallery shows recent work near Main Street, Gratiot Avenue, and the M-19 corridor, where pavement has to carry truck traffic, shed water, and stay open through freeze-thaw cycles. The map also reflects the local project history built from our owner's 30-year run in construction, with each job planned around base condition, drainage paths, and the kind of wear we see across Richmond and Macomb.
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 Richmond Property Managers
Richmond commercial clients keep pointing to the same things in their reviews: base support, drainage, and compaction that holds under traffic. That feedback matches how we work across Macomb, where pavement has to carry real loads, not just look finished 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 Richmond
We stage off Gratiot and keep haul routes tight so trucks do not block storefront access or delivery windows. Near the Richmond Community Center, we sequence sawcuts, milling, and paving so crews stay out of customer lanes as much as possible. That kind of planning matters on active commercial sites. It keeps traffic moving, protects fresh edges, and limits the downtime that hurts business operations.

Richmond Commercial Pavement Repair & Maintenance
Base and Drainage
We build each lot in Richmond around two controls that decide pavement life, subgrade compaction and drainage, because a tight foundation keeps the surface from moving and a clear outlet keeps water from destroying that foundation.
- Subgrade compaction removes soft pockets before we place hot mix, which stops pumping under truck loads and helps owners avoid early cracking, edge breakup, and full-depth re-paving.
- Drainage control moves water off the pavement instead of letting it sit in low spots or run back into seams, which protects the base from saturation and cuts down on spring heave and patch work.
- Long-term value comes from doing the hidden work first, since a lot that starts on firm grade with proper runoff usually needs fewer repairs, less downtime, and a longer replacement cycle for Macomb properties.

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 works the edges first. In Richmond, water gets into hairline cracks, open joints, and low spots around drive lanes and parking stalls, then freezes hard enough to lift the surface and pull the base apart. Once that happens, the pavement starts breaking from below. You see raveling, seam failure, and potholes later, but the damage begins with moisture in the structure. That is why we build the section under the mat as carefully as the surface itself.
We control that risk with base-layer prep that keeps water moving away from the pavement instead of sitting under it. We shape grade for drainage, compact the subgrade until it stops shifting under load, and set thickness based on how the lot will actually be used. On sites near Main Street or along Gratiot Avenue, where traffic turns hard and snowmelt has nowhere to go fast enough, weak base work shows up quickly. A lot can look fine in fall and still fail by spring if water reaches a loose foundation.
Richmond Paving Permits & Safety Compliance
- Start with Richmond city resources so your paving schedule lines up with local review steps before crews mobilize.
- Check the Paving, Drainage, & ROW Permits page early, because curb work, drainage changes, and right of way approvals can stop a lot project if you wait.
- Call MissDig before excavation or milling begins so underground utilities get marked before we cut into the pavement structure.
