Combined with our family’s 50+ years of paving experience, you get the expertise to handle everything from residential driveways to complex commercial projects.
Southeast Minnesota’s clay soils and extreme weather demand contractors who understand local conditions. We know how to prepare proper drainage for Rochester’s spring runoff, handle frost depth considerations that reach 42 inches in our climate zone, and time projects for optimal results during our paving season. When you call Aarow Asphalt, you’re working with a family business that stands behind their work. We operate by appointment only, giving each project the focused attention it deserves.
Transform your Rochester property with a professionally installed asphalt driveway designed for 15-20 years of reliable service.

From Mayo Clinic area medical office parking lots to retail centers along Highway 52, we deliver commercial paving solutions engineered for heavy traffic and long-term performance. Our commercial projects include proper drainage integration, ADA compliance, and specifications tailored to your business needs. We understand Rochester’s rapid growth and development pressures and work efficiently to minimize business disruption.
Extend your pavement’s life 10-15 years with professional asphalt resurfacing. We assess existing pavement condition and install new asphalt layers (typically 1.5-4 inches) over structurally sound surfaces. This cost-effective solution restores smooth driving surfaces while adding structural strength to handle Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles and Rochester’s heavy traffic loads.
When potholes or pavement failures go beyond surface issues, our full-depth patching service removes damaged asphalt down to the base layer and rebuilds the section properly. This permanent repair method prevents water infiltration during Rochester’s spring thaw and stops damage from spreading to surrounding pavement.
Don’t let potholes damage vehicles or create liability issues on your Rochester property. Our professional pothole repair service uses hot mix asphalt and proper compaction techniques for lasting repairs. We address the underlying causes of pothole formation – often related to our area’s clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles – not just the surface symptoms.
Specialized paving for tennis courts, basketball courts, and recreational surfaces throughout the Rochester area. We understand the precise grade requirements and surface specifications needed for athletic facilities, delivering smooth, properly drained courts that provide years of safe play through Minnesota’s seasonal changes.
