What we do

Asphalt and concrete, start to finish

Whether it is a single driveway or a full commercial lot, the work runs the same way: grade it properly, compact the base, lay quality material, and finish the edges clean.

Why Badger Paving

Built on the base, not just the surface

Most asphalt failures do not start on top. They start underneath, where water got into a base that was never compacted right or never given anywhere to drain. We spend the time down there so the surface you paid for lasts.

  • Grading and drainage planned before a single ton of mix arrives
  • Base compacted in lifts, not dumped and rolled once
  • Premium hot mix suited to Wisconsin freeze and thaw cycles
  • Clean, straight edges and proper tie-ins at garages and aprons
  • Crews that clean the site before they leave it
  • Written estimates with the scope spelled out, no surprise add-ons

What customers say

Straight work, straight talk

★★★★★

They rebuilt the base on our driveway instead of just paving over the old mess. Two winters in and it still looks new.

Homeowner · Sun Prairie, WI
★★★★★

Our lot was resurfaced and striped over a weekend so we never lost a business day. Clean site when they left.

Property Manager · Madison, WI
★★★★★

Price in the estimate was the price on the invoice. That alone put them ahead of the other bids.

Common questions

Before you book a paving job

When is the paving season in Wisconsin?

Hot mix asphalt needs warm ground and warm air to compact properly, so most paving runs from roughly late April through October depending on the year. Repairs, crack filling, and estimates happen year round. Call early: the calendar fills fast once the weather turns.

How long before I can drive on new asphalt?

Passenger vehicles can usually get on it after 24 to 72 hours depending on temperature. Keep heavy trucks, trailer jacks, and kickstands off it longer, and avoid sharp turns while parked for the first few weeks. We go over specifics for your job at the final walkthrough.

Do I need a full replacement or just a repair?

If the surface is cracked but the base is solid, patching, crack filling, or an overlay usually makes sense. If you have potholes that keep coming back, spongy spots, or areas holding water, the base has failed and a repair will not hold. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at.

How soon should new asphalt be sealcoated?

Wait until the surface has fully cured, generally six to twelve months after paving. After that, sealcoating every two to three years protects against water, road salt, oil, and UV, and keeps the finish black instead of gray.

Do you handle both asphalt and concrete?

Yes. Plenty of projects need both, like an asphalt drive with a concrete apron or curbing. We handle the whole thing so you are not coordinating two contractors.
