Ground-Up Asphalt Paving for New Commercial Developments in Northeast Ohio
MRH Paving & Sealcoating provides new construction paving services for commercial developments, retail centers, office parks, and industrial facilities throughout Cleveland, OH and the surrounding Northeast Ohio region. From site assessment through final striping, we deliver complete asphalt scope on new construction projects of every size.
Since 2004, our veteran crew has worked alongside general contractors, developers, and property owners across the Cleveland metro to install parking lots, drive aisles, and access roads that stand up to commercial traffic from day one. We understand construction timelines, we coordinate well with other trades, and we hit our schedule.
What New Construction Paving Includes
New construction paving covers the complete scope of asphalt installation on a project where no existing pavement is in place. The work typically follows site grading and underground utility installation, and it must coordinate with curb work, building completion, and final landscaping. Done correctly, new construction paving sets the foundation for two to three decades of pavement performance.

Our New Construction Paving Process
- Plan Review and Project Coordination — We review engineering plans, coordinate with the general contractor, and align our schedule with the broader build timeline
- Subgrade Inspection — Before any asphalt arrives, we verify that the subgrade is properly compacted, graded, and ready to support the planned pavement section
- Aggregate Base Installation — Crushed aggregate base is placed, graded, and compacted to engineered specifications
- Binder Course Placement — The lower asphalt course is placed and compacted to provide structural support
- Surface Course Placement — The wearing surface is installed at proper temperature and rolled to lock in density and smoothness
- Striping and Final Markings — Once the asphalt has cured appropriately, we apply parking stripes, directional arrows, ADA markings, and any required signage paint
Benefits of Quality New Construction Paving in Cleveland, OH
- Long Service Life — Pavement installed correctly from the start delivers 20 to 25 years of service with routine maintenance
- Lower Long-Term Cost — Cutting corners on new construction paving creates expensive failures within 5 to 7 years
- Proper Drainage from Day One — Northeast Ohio sees heavy rain and snowmelt — correct grading on new construction prevents future water issues
- First Impression for Tenants and Customers — A clean, well-striped lot signals a quality property the moment people arrive
- Code and ADA Compliance — New construction is the right time to get parking ratios, accessible spaces, and traffic flow exactly right
