Commercial Asphalt Products & Material Expertise
We don’t just pave—we produce and supply high-quality asphalt materials from our in-house plant in St. Joseph, Missouri.
This level of control allows us to maintain quality, consistency, and availability for commercial paving projects across Northwest Missouri.
Whether you’re managing a parking lot reconstruction, road installation, or facility buildout, choosing the right asphalt product is key to long-term performance. At Keller Construction, we break down the types of asphalt materials we offer and their best uses, so you get the right product for your property.
Our Asphalt Products
Hot Mix Asphalt
Best for: High-traffic commercial areas, roadways, and parking lots
Hot mix asphalt is the most commonly used material for commercial paving projects. It’s made by heating asphalt binder and aggregates at high temperatures, creating a durable, weather-resistant material. Once laid and compacted, HMA delivers a smooth, high-performance surface that stands up to traffic, heavy loads, and harsh weather conditions.
Cold Mix Asphalt
Best for: Temporary patches, low-traffic areas, and winter maintenance
Cold mix asphalt is pre-mixed and stored at ambient temperatures. It’s ideal for patching potholes and repairing damage during colder months when hot mix isn’t available. It’s cost-effective and provides a solid temporary fix until permanent repairs can be made.

Tack Coat
Best for: Bonding asphalt layers during paving
Tack coat is a thin layer of asphalt emulsion applied between old and new pavement layers. It ensures a strong bond and prevents slippage between courses, which is critical for overlays and multi-lift paving. Proper tack application extends the pavement’s life and prevents costly surface failures.
Asphalt Millings
Best for: Sub-base material, drive lanes, and temporary surface
Asphalt millings are recycled ground-up asphalt collected during milling projects. These are cost-effective for creating solid sub-bases, temporary roads, or even low-traffic lanes. When compacted properly, millings can provide excellent stability and drainage.

Where Function Meets ROI
Why Asphalt Is the Smart Choice for Commercial Properties
Choosing the right paving material is about more than just surface appearance. Asphalt offers a range of benefits that make it ideal for commercial and industrial environments:
Increased Savings
Asphalt paving is less expensive than concrete, both in installation and maintenance.
Recyclable and Sustainable
Asphalt is 100% recyclable. It can be milled, reprocessed, and reused—often in the same project—reducing environmental impact and lowering material costs.
Fast Project Turnaround
New asphalt pavement can be ready for vehicle traffic in as little as 72 hours. This minimizes downtime for commercial operations and allows facilities to reopen quickly.
Extended Lifespan
With regular maintenance commercial asphalt surfaces can last 20–30 years or longer. This long service life makes asphalt a wise capital investment.
Ease of Maintenance
Asphalt is easier to maintain than many other materials. Potholes, cracks, and surface wear can be repaired quickly and affordably. Overlays can restore surface function without a full reconstruction.
Safety and Vehicle Performance
Asphalt provides high contrast with painted markings, improving visibility and traffic flow. Its smooth, skid-resistant surface also enhances vehicle traction, reducing wear on tires and improving driving comfort.
When to Use an Overlay
Surface wear or minor cracking is present
Base layer is still structurally sound
You want to extend lifespan without full replacement
You need to improve appearance quickly and cost-effectively
Overlays provide a new top layer that restores smoothness, color, and functionality without the cost of full removal and replacement.
When Full Repaving Is Necessary
Deep structural cracks or “alligator cracking”
Extensive potholes or drainage failures
Uneven surfaces or sinking areas
You’re expanding or reconfiguring the space
In these cases, complete removal, grading, and base preparation ensure long-term performance and safety.
