Site-Ready Commercial Pavement — From Raw Ground to Finished Lot
The result every developer and general contractor wants is the same: a finished, durable commercial lot that passes inspection, handles traffic on day one, and doesn’t require attention for decades. Cardinal Asphalt Company, Inc. has been delivering that outcome for contractors and property developers throughout Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and the greater Akron region for over 35 years. Our new construction paving services include complete site grading and excavating, base preparation, and hot mix asphalt installation — everything needed to take a raw site to a ready surface.
Serving Northeast Ohio since 1994, Cardinal brings the equipment capabilities and field experience to handle new construction paving for commercial lots, industrial sites, retail developments, and multi-use facilities.
What New Construction Paving Includes
New construction paving encompasses the full process of building an asphalt surface on previously unpaved ground. Unlike overlay or resurfacing projects, new construction starts from the ground up — which means the quality of every phase directly determines the lifespan of the finished pavement.
Cardinal handles the complete scope:
- Site grading and earthwork to establish proper drainage and elevation
- Excavation and subbase preparation
- Aggregate base installation and compaction
- Hot mix asphalt paving to commercial specifications
- Striping, drainage coordination, and site finishing
Types of New Construction Projects
- Commercial Parking Lots — New lot construction for retail centers, office parks, medical facilities, and mixed-use developments
- Industrial Site Paving — Heavy-duty pavement for manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and industrial parks requiring reinforced base design
- Retail and Multi-Tenant Developments — Coordinated paving for phased commercial developments throughout the Akron and Cuyahoga Falls, OH area

Our New Construction Paving Process
- Plan Review and Site Assessment — We review engineering drawings and assess soil and drainage conditions before mobilizing
- Grading and Excavation — Our crews grade the site to engineered elevations, removing unsuitable material and establishing proper grades for drainage
- Subbase and Base Installation — Aggregate base is installed in lifts and compacted to specified density to support the asphalt surface
- Asphalt Paving — Hot mix asphalt is installed in lifts to project specifications using commercial paving equipment
- Compaction and Testing — Surfaces are compacted to design density; we verify grades and slopes before finishing
- Site Coordination — We coordinate with general contractors, utilities, and other trades throughout the project timeline
