Asphalt Paving in Lauderdale Lakes, FL

Asphalt Paving in Lauderdale Lakes means working in tight quarters. The city has about 3.68 square miles of land, and the 2020 Census counted roughly 9,768 residents per square mile. Driveways sit close to sidewalks, neighbors and busy streets, so we plan access, staging and drainage for each property before any asphalt is ordered.

Housing here is a real mix. Census survey data puts the owner-occupied rate at 47.6%, which leaves a large share of homes as rentals. Parking lot upkeep matters as much as single-family driveways, and it changes how a project is scheduled: residents still need somewhere to park, and entrances and fire lanes have to stay usable.

The city's Driveway (Paving) Permit

Lauderdale Lakes lists a Driveway (Paving) Permit for installing or modifying a residential driveway made of asphalt, concrete or pavers, whether on new construction, an existing single-family home or an existing multifamily property. The city also says that work begun before a permit is approved is charged a double fee. We can help check permit needs with the city's engineering staff and help prepare the application where the city allows; the city requires contractors to register before pulling engineering permits, so confirm the details with the city.

Work we take on here

• Driveway paving and replacement on single-family lots
• Parking lot paving, patching and resurfacing for apartment and condo properties
• Sealcoating and restriping for small retail plazas and offices
• Asphalt patching and regrading around catch basins and low spots where water sits after storms (the drainage structures themselves are handled separately by the appropriate licensed professional)

Water has to go somewhere

The city is flat and almost fully built out, so runoff from a driveway or lot has few places to go. In April 2023, Fort Lauderdale, which borders Lauderdale Lakes to the southeast, measured 25.91 inches of rain in a single day. A storm like that shows quickly where pavement is pitched the wrong way. On every estimate we check the slope toward existing drains or swales and shape the new surface so water moves off it instead of toward a building.

Keeping a lot open while we work

For multifamily and commercial properties, paving and sealcoating can be split into phases so part of the lot stays available each day. Lauderdale Lakes has a separate Maintenance of Traffic permit for construction that temporarily changes traffic patterns in the city right-of-way or affects parking lot circulation on private property. When a project calls for one, we build it into the plan and the timeline you receive.
