For more than 50 years, the Wells family has paved parking lots and roads. What started as a family trade in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley grew into Lenny Wells Paving: a crew that handles everything from grading and drainage to the final stripe, all in-house.
We've learned that a paving job is only as good as what's underneath it. Up north, water gets into the smallest crack, freezes overnight and breaks pavement apart. A lot with a weak base or poor drainage doesn't survive one winter. That's why we start every job below the surface.
Florida pavement fights different weather, but the cause is the same: water and the ground underneath. We're bringing the same family crew standards, honest bids and attention to drainage to churches, communities and businesses across Tampa Bay.
“They did not mess around and did what they said at the price we agreed upon.”— Marie K., HomeAdvisor

From Pennsylvania winters to Florida sun
Built for the weather
| What Florida throws at a lot | How we build for it |
|---|---|
| Afternoon downpours and ponding | Precise grading so every area sheds water fast; low spots rebuilt, not patched |
| Flat land with nowhere for runoff to go | Planned drainage paths and swales that move water off the pavement and away from buildings |
| Sandy soil and a high water table | Soft areas dug out and a well-compacted stone base with edges built to hold their shape |
| Intense sun and heat | The right asphalt thickness and tight compaction, so the surface holds up under heat and heavy trucks |
| Storm season | Drainage sized for heavy runoff, so water clears the lot instead of sitting under it |
