Mark Morrison Paving

Three generations of the Morrison family have run Mark Morrison Paving, an asphalt contractor that has worked in central Virginia since 1980. From its base in Chester, a short distance south of Richmond, the company works for homeowners and businesses in Henrico, Hanover, Chesterfield, Powhatan, Goochland and New Kent counties, and it also takes on work in southern Virginia. It holds a Virginia Class A contractor license.

The business is supervised by Mark Morrison Sr. together with Mark Morrison Jr., his son, and one of them attends every job. Customers who ask for an estimate meet with one of them in person, and free estimates can often be arranged the same day.

For homeowners, the company paves driveways and builds private and gravel roads. Commercial services center on parking lot paving, along with line striping, ADA compliance work, roadways and basketball courts. It also works with surface treatments made of tar and gravel and offers hardscaping.

Maintenance and repair work includes patching, crack filling, sealcoating, resurfacing and routine pavement check-ups, aimed at keeping minor defects in driveways and parking lots from becoming larger failures. The company notes that much of its service area is older and says it can produce either a classic paved look or a freshly topped asphalt finish to suit the property.

Job sizes run from minor patch work to large commercial lots, and the company says it stands behind the work it completes.
