Commercial Asphalt, Concrete & Snow Management in Utica
Utica property managers call us when pavement starts costing time, money, and access, and we match the fix to the problem at hand.
- Commercial Asphalt Paving for lots that have cracked, settled, or worn thin under daily traffic and need a new surface built on sound support.
- Concrete & Curbing for broken edges, bad transitions, and curb lines that let water or tires damage the pavement faster than they should.
- Commercial Snow Removal for winter piles and plow paths that block stalls, damage edges, and leave meltwater sitting where it should drain off.
- Parking Lot Maintenance for cracks, surface wear, and small failures that grow into larger repair bills if they stay open through another season.
- Site Drainage for standing water, soft spots, and runoff problems that break down the lot from below and shorten its service life.
Auburn and Van Dyke Paving Projects
Asphalt Paving & Concrete Projects in Utica Neighborhoods
Our gallery shows recent work near Van Dyke, Auburn Road, and the Hall Road corridor, where lots have to drain clean and hold up under daily turning traffic. The map also reflects our owner's 30-year run in construction, with each project added to that local record based on base condition, drainage, compaction, and how the pavement performs after traffic gets on it.
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 Utica Property Managers
Commercial clients in Utica call out the same things we value on every lot: sound base prep, proper drainage, and compaction that holds under traffic. After 38 years in Macomb, their reviews match the work, pavement built to carry load without early breakdown.
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 Utica
We stage near M-59 and Hall Road so trucks can move without backing up customer lanes or loading docks. On Utica jobs, we sequence sawcutting, milling, paving, and rolling to keep access open while we rebuild the surface from the base up. That cuts downtime for businesses and protects curb lines, tie-ins, and concrete edges from early failure.

Utica Commercial Pavement Repair & Maintenance
Base Sets the Cost
In Utica, asphalt only performs after we tighten the subgrade and move water away from the structure, because soft ground and trapped moisture turn a fresh lot into a repeat repair bill.
- We compact weak soil until it carries load evenly, which keeps wheel paths from pumping fines up through the mat and saves owners from early patching.
- We shape drainage before paving so runoff leaves the lot instead of soaking the base, which protects against settlement, edge breakup, and premature resurfacing.
- We verify thickness against the actual traffic pattern, so turning lanes and truck areas get the support they need and the pavement stays in service longer without another full tear-out.

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 punishes parking lots from below. Water gets into cracks, open joints, and low edges, then freezes, expands, and pushes the pavement upward. After that first lift, the surface opens a little more each cycle. In Utica, we see the worst damage where runoff sits near entrances, dumpster areas, and wheel paths because those spots stay wet longer and break down faster.
Our base-layer prep is what slows that process down. We correct grade so water leaves the lot instead of soaking into it, then we build a tight subgrade and compact the base until it carries load evenly. That keeps moisture from working through weak spots and turning into frost heave under traffic. If the foundation drains right and stays dense, the asphalt above it lasts longer and needs fewer repairs after winter hits Macomb.
Utica Paving Permits & Safety Compliance
- Use the Utica city site to confirm local review steps before you schedule milling, curb work, or any changes that affect a parking lot layout.
- Check the Paving, Drainage, & ROW Permits page early so your scope matches right of way rules before crews cut pavement or alter runoff.
- Call in utility locates through MissDig before excavation starts, because one missed line can stop the job and damage the base under it.
