- Asphalt PavingOakes has been in the construction industry since the early ‘30s digging basements, starting with Arnold William (A.W.) Oakes. In the ‘40s, he began his own company, A.W. Oakes & Son, and formalized as an Incorporation in 1959. Working on grading projects and asphalt, the company began to grow. Over time we morphed into an asphalt paving company early on and paved the first parking lot at Six Flags Great America.
