Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway or parking lot faces New York’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles every year. Summer heat followed by winter ice destroys poorly installed pavement fast. You need paving that’s engineered for these conditions, not just thrown down and hoped for the best.
Professional installation means proper base preparation, quality materials, and timing that works with the weather instead of against it. When done right, your asphalt handles daily traffic, seasonal temperature swings, and years of use without cracking or developing potholes.
The difference shows up in your maintenance costs. Well-installed pavement needs occasional sealcoating, not constant patching and emergency repairs.
We’ve been serving the Barkersville region for over 25 years with hands-on, owner-managed paving and excavation services. You work directly with experienced professionals who understand local soil conditions, weather patterns, and municipal requirements.
We’re not a crew that shows up, does the work, and disappears. Our reputation depends on long-term relationships with property owners who see the value in quality workmanship and honest communication.
From emergency repairs to planned installations, we handle projects year-round with seasonal adjustments. Winter months focus on foundation work and land clearing when paving conditions aren’t optimal.
Every project starts with an honest assessment of your current conditions and what you actually need. We examine drainage, base stability, and any existing damage that could affect the new installation.
Site preparation comes next. This means proper excavation, base material installation, and grading that directs water away from your pavement. Shortcuts here lead to problems later, so we don’t take them.
Installation happens when conditions are right. Temperature, weather, and material quality all matter for proper compaction and curing. We coordinate timing to ensure your pavement sets up correctly from day one.
Final inspection covers surface smoothness, drainage function, and cleanup. You get documentation of the work completed and recommendations for long-term maintenance that protect your investment.

Residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and private roads all require different approaches based on traffic loads and usage patterns. We handle the full range with appropriate materials and installation methods for each application.
Excavation and site work support successful paving projects. Poor drainage or unstable base conditions cause premature failure regardless of surface quality. Our equipment and experience handle everything from basic grading to complex drainage solutions.
Emergency response capability means you’re not stuck waiting weeks for critical repairs. Potholes, drainage failures, and weather damage can create safety hazards that need immediate attention. We maintain the equipment and materials to respond when problems can’t wait.
Foundation services and land clearing round out our year-round capabilities. When paving season ends, we shift focus to projects that prepare sites for spring construction and address drainage issues before they affect your pavement.
Late spring through early fall provides optimal conditions for asphalt paving in our area. We need consistent temperatures between 65-75°F for proper material curing and compaction.
Paving too early in spring risks ground frost and unstable base conditions. Late fall or winter installation creates problems with material handling and curing that lead to premature cracking and surface failures.
We monitor weather forecasts and ground conditions to schedule projects when success factors align. Sometimes this means adjusting timelines, but proper timing prevents costly problems that show up within the first year.
Fresh asphalt needs 24-48 hours minimum before regular vehicle traffic, but full curing takes several weeks depending on weather conditions. We provide specific guidelines based on your installation and local conditions.
Heavy loads like delivery trucks or construction equipment should wait at least 72 hours. Hot weather extends these timeframes because the asphalt stays softer longer.
Foot traffic is usually fine within a few hours, but avoid dragging heavy objects or placing concentrated loads on the surface. We mark any areas that need extended protection and explain what activities to avoid during the curing period.
Poor base preparation causes most premature cracking in our climate. Inadequate drainage, improper compaction, and insufficient base thickness create weak spots that fail under freeze-thaw cycles.
Water infiltration accelerates damage once small cracks appear. Regular sealcoating every 2-3 years protects the surface and prevents water from reaching the base layer.
Installation timing also matters. Asphalt placed in poor weather conditions or at incorrect temperatures won’t achieve proper density and becomes more susceptible to cracking and other surface defects.
Driveway paving costs depend on size, site conditions, base preparation requirements, and access factors. We provide detailed estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work needed.
Proper installation includes excavation, base material, compaction, and surface paving. Skipping steps to reduce costs creates problems that cost more to fix than doing it right initially.
We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Every estimate includes a clear scope of work so you understand exactly what’s included and can make informed decisions about your project.
Yes, we handle commercial paving projects including parking lots, private roads, and loading areas. Commercial applications require heavier base construction and different asphalt specifications based on expected traffic loads.
Maintenance planning helps commercial properties avoid costly emergency repairs. We develop schedules for sealcoating, crack sealing, and minor repairs that extend pavement life and maintain professional appearance.
Emergency response capability means business disruptions stay minimal when problems occur. Potholes, drainage failures, and weather damage get addressed quickly to maintain safe access for customers and employees.
Site preparation includes excavation to proper depth, base material installation, grading for drainage, and compaction to specifications. These steps create the foundation that determines long-term pavement performance.
Drainage solutions address water management both during construction and for ongoing performance. Poor drainage destroys pavement from below, so we design and install systems that direct water away from your investment.
We coordinate utility locations, obtain necessary permits, and handle material disposal as part of complete project management. You get a finished project ready for use, not a partially completed job that requires additional contractors.
