KLUESNER CONSTRUCTION & PRAIRIE ROAD BUILDERS
Asphalt Paving & Surface Maintenance in Cedar Rapids, IA
Cedar Rapids is one of Iowa's busiest commercial and industrial cities, and the parking lots, loading yards, residential driveways, and access roads that support that activity need surfaces built to last. Kluesner Construction brings over 30 years of family-owned paving experience to Linn County and the greater I-380 corridor.
WHAT WE DO
Full-Service Paving & Hauling
for Cedar Rapids & Linn County
COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL PAVING & OVERLAYS
Parking Lots, Industrial Yards & Residential Driveways
Cedar Rapids runs a dense commercial grid—from the big-box retail and auto corridors along Collins Road NW to the food processing and manufacturing facilities clustered near the Cedar River and out along Edgewood Road. Those environments demand asphalt that holds up under fork traffic, semi loads, and high vehicle turnover. We handle full-depth commercial paving, private residential driveways, and hot-mix overlays, where a fresh asphalt layer is applied over a properly prepared existing surface, giving tired parking lots and private lanes a renewed life without the cost and disruption of a full tear-out.
ASPHALT MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS
Repairs, Seal Coating & Line Striping
Linn County winters push pavement hard. Water finds its way into small cracks, freezes, expands, and turns a maintenance issue into a structural one fast. Hot rubberized crack sealing—a flexible, heat-applied compound that moves with the pavement through freeze-thaw cycles rather than popping out like cold-pour material—is the most effective way to stop that cycle early. We pair that with seal coating to protect the commercial or residential asphalt surface from UV and moisture damage, and professional line striping to keep your lot organized, code-compliant, and looking clean.
CHIP SEAL ROAD SURFACING
Rural Roads, Subdivisions & Farm Lanes
Prairie Road Builders, our chip seal division based in Hazleton, IA since 1970, brings cost-effective aggregate road surfacing to rural Linn County and the communities surrounding Cedar Rapids. Chip seal works by applying a liquid asphalt binder to the road surface and immediately embedding crushed aggregate stone into it—the result is a durable, all-weather driving surface at a fraction of full asphalt cost. It's the practical answer for private farm lanes, residential driveways, light-traffic subdivision roads, and rural access roads where durability matters but the budget doesn't support full pavement.
MATERIAL HAULING & TRUCKING
Sand, Rock, Dirt & Ag Lime Delivery
Our fleet hauls the materials Cedar Rapids-area projects run on—crushed rock, road gravel, river sand, fill dirt, and agricultural lime delivered on your timeline directly to your job site. The construction activity around Cedar Rapids is steady and the ag operations in rural Linn County keep demand high, so our trucks stay loaded and moving. Whether you need a pad built up for a new structure off US-30, gravel hauled to a rural residential property near Palo, or ag lime spread before planting season, we'll coordinate the delivery and get there on schedule.
LOCAL CONNECTION
Built for Cedar Rapids
serving Linn County & the Creative Corridor
Cedar Rapids sits at the hub of Eastern Iowa's commercial activity, with I-380 running straight through the city and US-30 cutting east toward us in Dubuque County. That geography means we're not a long haul away—Cedar Rapids is a regular part of our service area, and the volume of commercial, residential, and industrial paving work the city generates keeps our crews busy here throughout the season. From the large food processing operations near the Cedar River—including facilities that have anchored this city's economy for generations—to the aerospace and manufacturing campuses on the northeast side, there's no shortage of pavement that needs to perform under real industrial demand.
Collins Road NW is one of the most commercially active corridors in the state, and the retail, hospitality, and service businesses along that stretch depend on well-maintained parking lots to stay presentable and functional year-round. We've done enough work in Cedar Rapids to understand the difference between a lot or driveway that just needs a seal coat and re-stripe versus one that has drainage or base issues that need to be addressed first—and we'll tell you the truth about which situation you're dealing with before any work starts.
Out in rural Linn County, our Prairie Road Builders crew handles chip seal and aggregate hauling for farm operations, subdivisions, and rural residential property owners who need reliable road surfaces without the cost of full asphalt. Whether it's a lane off Hwy 13 near Center Point or a material delivery to a site near Toddville, we know the territory and we show up prepared.
