Billings Heights, MT
Asphalt driveways in Billings Heights live in a neighborhood that works its pavement hard. Main Street carries around 39,000 vehicles a day on the state's counts, Wicks Lane still has stretches of old county road with no curb or gutter, and the city just spent three construction seasons rebuilding the Wicks corridor's storm drainage because the old system could not keep up with growth. Up on the bench, water is the whole game. A driveway that does not shed melt cleanly becomes an ice tray in January and a crack farm by April.
Ostermiller Construction paves and repaves asphalt drives across the Heights, from the blocks off Governors Boulevard to the newer edges past Bench Boulevard. Blacktop is the budget-friendly repave when an old drive gives out, it goes down fast, and it takes a snow blade well. If the long-term math points the other way, we also pour Heights concrete driveways and will price both. The service across the metro lives at asphalt driveways across the valley, with our Billings Heights page covering the rest.

A big share of Heights asphalt went down decades ago, and age shows in a specific order: hairline cracks, then spiderwebbed patches, then edges crumbling into the lawn. Surface-level wear on a sound base can be overlaid or selectively repaired, and we will say so when that is true.
Alligatored areas and soft spots that pump under a truck tire mean the base has failed, and new mix on top of failed base is a one-season disguise. That drive gets rebuilt from the ground up: base corrected, compacted, then hot mix rolled tight. The estimate spells out which read your driveway gets and why.
Billings averages 57.4 inches of snow a year, and city ordinance gives property owners 24 hours to clear the public sidewalk after each snowfall. Your driveway sits in the middle of that chore. A flat, properly crowned mat scrapes clean in two passes; a rutted, ponding one hands you the same ice patch at the apron every morning.
We grade Heights drives so melt runs off and away, keep the apron flush so the shovel does not catch, and finish edges that hold up to a blade. Then a seal coat every few years keeps the surface tight against the melt-refreeze cycle that works on this bench all winter.
The Heights keeps adding rooftops on its north edge, and the Billings Bypass now ties the neighborhood straight to Lockwood across the river by way of Five Mile Road and Old Highway 312. For us in Shepherd, the Heights has always been the close side of Billings, and the new connections only shrink the map further. Short drive for the crew means easy scheduling for you.
New construction also means new driveways on freshly graded lots, where compaction decides everything.

The crew shows up when we said and does the job the way we quoted it — tear-out, base, forms, pour, pave, seal or stripe. Anything unexpected, you hear about it immediately, not on the invoice.
We walk the finished work together before we call it done. Clean lines, clean site, old material hauled off, and clear guidance on cure times and care. Done means you say it's done.
