Aurora is the third largest city in Colorado and it sits in three counties at once. The bulk of it is Arapahoe County, the north end runs into Adams County, and a slice at the far south crosses into Douglas County. That spread matters for asphalt, because pavement on the west side of the city is routinely forty or fifty years older than pavement on the east side.
We work both halves. Older Aurora usually means patching, full-depth repair and overlays on driveways and small commercial lots that have been sealed too rarely and plowed too often. Newer Aurora is mostly a timing question: getting sealcoat and crack fill onto pavement while it is still sound, before water reaches the base and turns a hairline crack into a pothole.
Asphalt work in Aurora
The original town was platted between Yosemite and Peoria from 6th to 26th Avenue, and went by the name Fletcher until 1907. That stretch of East Colfax is still Aurora's downtown. Brick bungalows from the 1950s line the gridded streets behind it, and Hoffman Heights, annexed in 1953, had 1,705 houses by 1956. Havana Street started growing as a commercial strip after Lowry Field opened in 1938 and filled out through the late 1960s and 1970s as retail pulled away from Colfax.
Growth jumped again in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when Aurora was for a time the fastest-growing city in the country, and the eastern edge has kept moving since. I-70, I-225 and E-470 frame the city. Buckley Space Force Base, the Anschutz Medical Campus and Children's Hospital Colorado are the largest employers, and Southlands anchors retail on the east side. Each of those brings acres of parking, drive aisles and painted layout that wear out on their own schedule.
Work that touches the public right of way in Aurora goes through the city's public improvement permit process, and Public Works wants an approved traffic control plan before it issues the permit. A driveway or a private lot inside the property line normally does not need one. The weather does the rest. Freeze-thaw cycles widen cracks over winter, summer sun and hail age the surface binder, and the swelling clay soils common across the Front Range move under the pavement, which is why base preparation decides how long a job lasts more than mat thickness does.

Asphalt in Aurora: common questions
Do I need a permit to pave a driveway in Aurora?
For a driveway inside your own property line, usually not. Work that touches the public right of way, including the apron where the drive meets the street, goes through the City of Aurora public improvement permit process, and the city asks for an approved traffic control plan first. We check the scope against city requirements before scheduling.
Why does older Aurora pavement fail differently from the east side?
Age and construction. Driveways off Colfax and around Hoffman Heights are often original or once-overlaid, so the base has taken decades of water and frost. Those need patching or a full rebuild. Pavement in the newer eastern subdivisions is usually sound underneath and responds well to crack sealing and sealcoat.
Do you take on commercial parking lots in Aurora?
Yes. Retail centers, medical offices, churches, apartment complexes and light industrial yards are a large share of what we do here. That covers pothole repair, milling and overlay, sealcoating, and striping with ADA stalls and fire lanes marked to the layout your property needs.
