Asphalt Paving and Repair in Cherry Creek, Denver
Cherry Creek runs two kinds of asphalt side by side: retail and office parking behind the shops on First through Third Avenue, and private driveways on the residential blocks toward Sixth. Asphalt Denver handles resurfacing, sealcoating, repair and striping for both. Ask for a free written estimate.

Cherry Creek sits a little over three miles southeast of Union Station, bounded by the creek on the south, East Sixth Avenue on the north, and University and Colorado Boulevards on the west and east. It holds the densest retail district in the city outside downtown, and the parking that serves it wears out from constant low-speed turning rather than from heavy loads.
The residential half is a different job. Blocks north of Third hold older brick houses alongside newer townhomes on small lots, most with a drive to a rear or side garage. Those jobs are short, close to landscaping, and usually about replacing a surface that has cracked through rather than putting in something new.
Asphalt work in Cherry Creek
The Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District covers a 16-block, 27-acre area from First to Third Avenues between University and Steele. It was formed in 1989 as the first business improvement district in Colorado. Most customer parking sits in public garages, but the alleys and rear yards behind the First, Second and Third Avenue storefronts hold plenty of asphalt: staff spaces, delivery and trash areas, and the short ramps in and out of below-grade parking.
Across First Avenue, the Cherry Creek Shopping Center and the office buildings around it bring larger paved areas and heavier vehicles. First Avenue is the continuation of Speer Boulevard, and University and Colorado carry high volumes on the flanks. The creek and its trail run along the south edge, so the ground on that side falls away and drainage matters more on lots near the greenway than it does up by Sixth.
The property line splits the work here as it does everywhere else in Denver. Paved public alleys are city right-of-way and the city maintains them, while the rear yard, the ramp and the parking behind the building belong to the owner or the association. A new curb cut or apron across the right-of-way needs a city permit before it is built.

Asphalt in Cherry Creek: common questions
Who is responsible for the alley behind my Cherry Creek shop?
The paved alley itself is public right-of-way and the city maintains it. Everything from your property line inward, including the rear parking, the trash pad and the ramp down to a basement garage, is yours. We quote the private side and tell you plainly where the boundary sits.
Can retail parking be resurfaced without shutting the block?
Yes, in sections. We take a run of stalls at a time, keep an aisle open where the layout allows, and put the noisy demolition early in the day. Overlay and striping need the surface clear and dry, so those steps land on the quietest day the tenants can give us.
How soon can cars park on new asphalt?
Fresh hot mix is usually open to normal traffic within a day or two once it has cooled, but it stays soft for weeks. Keep heavy trucks, dumpster wheels and trailer jacks off it during that time, and leave a new surface several months before the first sealcoat goes on.
