Celebrating 50 Years of Asphalt Paving in Minnesota

In 2026, Valley Blacktopping proudly celebrates fifty years in business. That is a milestone we do not take lightly. In an industry built on hard work, reliability, and reputation, lasting this long only happens when you consistently do things the right way.

Since 1976, our company has had the privilege of serving homeowners, businesses, and communities throughout Minnesota. What started as one man learning the paving trade has grown into a multi generation company built on experience, trust, and pride in our work.

Where it All Started

Valley Blacktopping was founded in 1976 by our grandfather, who believed in earning respect through effort and craftsmanship. He learned the paving industry from the ground up and built the company one job at a time. There were no shortcuts and no marketing tricks. Just long days, quality work, and standing behind every project.

Those early years set the standard that still guides us today. Show up when you say you will. Do the work correctly. Treat customers fairly. Take pride in the finished product.

How the Industry Has Changed

Over fifty years, the asphalt industry has changed significantly. Equipment is more advanced. Materials are better. Expectations are higher. Regulations and specifications are more detailed than ever.

We have adapted through every change by continuing to learn, invest, and improve. From modern paving equipment to updated installation practices, we have stayed current so our customers receive durable, long lasting results.

Experience matters in this industry because no two projects are the same. Soil conditions, drainage, usage, and climate all play a role in how asphalt performs. Knowing how to assess and address those variables comes from decades of hands on work.

What Has Never Changed

While the tools and technology have evolved, our core values have not.

We still believe preparation is everything.

We still believe cutting corners leads to failure.

We still believe the job is not finished until it is done right.

Our crews take pride in their work because they understand that every driveway and parking lot represents our name. That mindset has been passed down through generations and remains the foundation of our company.

What 50 Years Means for Our Customers

For our customers, fifty years in business means confidence.

It means you are working with a company that has seen what works and what does not. It means your project benefits from decades of problem solving, not guesswork. It means your investment is protected by experience.

We understand Minnesota conditions. We understand asphalt performance. We understand how to build surfaces that last.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate our fiftieth year, we remain focused on the same goal we had in 1976. Provide honest, high quality asphalt paving services our customers can rely on.

We are grateful to every customer, employee, and partner who has trusted us over the years. Your support made this milestone possible.

Thank you for being part of our story. We look forward to continuing to serve Minnesota for many years to come.
