Expert Asphalt Paving & Road Construction Services
Since 1923, Mayo Construction has been a leader in asphalt paving and road construction across North Dakota and surrounding states. Founded by Joe Mayo with a single steam engine, our company has evolved through three generations of family ownership before transitioning to full employee ownership in 2012. Our commitment to integrity and relationship-building has allowed us to complete projects ranging from parking lots to major highways for government clients at all levels. With two portable asphalt plants and crews capable of placing a million tons annually, we offer specialized services including milling, microsurfacing, and airport runway reconstruction. Our technical expertise is complemented by collaborations with local subcontractors, ensuring quality outcomes on time and within budget.As one of North Dakota's few microsurfacing providers, we combine cutting-edge techniques with decades of experience. Our Employee Stock Ownership Plan reflects our belief that shared success drives superior performance. This philosophy has sustained us through 100 years of service, including critical infrastructure projects during World War II and modern government contracts ranging from $550,000 to $10 million. With peak season staffing of 130-150 employees and annual sales between $50-100 million, we maintain our founder's vision of connecting communities through quality construction.

Specialized crews handle projects from $550k to $10 million contracts, serving state DOTs and local governments with precision engineering.

As North Dakota's pioneering microsurfacing provider, we offer this advanced preservation technique that extends pavement life while maintaining traffic flow. This cost-effective solution addresses surface distresses through polymer-modified asphalt emulsions applied by trained specialists using calibrated equipment.

Our rehabilitation services encompass milling, reconstruction, and structural improvements for aging infrastructure. We manage complete roadway renewal projects from excavation to final paving, handling both urban development and rural highway upgrades while maintaining strict project timelines.
Hot Mix Asphalt
We produce and install high-quality hot mix asphalt meeting strict DOT specifications. Our portable plants ensure material quality control while enabling rapid deployment to project sites. This capability supports both new construction and overlay projects across diverse terrain conditions.
