YEARS EXPERIENCE
Stillwater, MN
Stillwater, MN is Washington County’s county seat and one of Minnesota’s most beloved historic communities, with a population of approximately 19,400 residents situated on the west bank of the St. Croix River. Often called the “Birthplace of Minnesota” because the 1848 territorial convention that began the process of Minnesota statehood was held here, Stillwater’s historic downtown Main Street district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Stillwater Commercial Historic District. The city draws hundreds of thousands of tourists annually with its antique shops, wine bars, boutique hotels, paddlewheel riverboat cruises, and more than 100 owner-operated downtown businesses. Andersen Corporation, one of the world’s largest window manufacturers, is headquartered just south of Stillwater in Bayport and is among the region’s most significant employers.
Paving in Stillwater, MN presents a distinct set of challenges shaped by the city’s geography and historic character. Properties near the St. Croix River bluffs experience drainage complexities as water flows toward the river, requiring careful grading and base engineering to prevent moisture from undermining pavement foundations over time. The city’s historic downtown features compressed lot sizes, limited access, and heritage structures that require careful project coordination to avoid disruption to neighboring businesses during the busy summer tourist season. Stillwater receives an average of 42 inches of annual snowfall, with freeze-thaw cycles that stress surface asphalt throughout fall and spring. Older commercial properties in the historic district and established residential neighborhoods on Stillwater’s South and North Hill areas often have aging asphalt that benefits from comprehensive maintenance programs rather than immediate replacement.
