Those small cracks in your driveway? They become potholes within months if you don’t address the real problem. Big Hollow’s rocky soil, seasonal drainage issues, and brutal freeze-thaw cycles destroy surfaces that aren’t installed properly.
You need installation that accounts for local conditions from day one. Proper excavation depth for rocky soil. Drainage solutions that handle seasonal water movement. Materials and methods designed for temperature swings that hit this area hard.
When the work’s done right, you stop worrying about expensive repairs. Your driveway handles whatever Big Hollow weather throws at it, year after year. No more watching small problems become big expenses.
We’ve been handling paving, excavation, and foundation work in Big Hollow for over 25 years. Family-owned, owner-operated, with the kind of local knowledge you can’t get from companies that parachute in from other areas.
When you call, you talk to the owner. When problems arise, you talk to the owner. No phone tag with office staff who don’t know your project details.
We know where water collects in Big Hollow. We know which areas have rocky soil that requires special handling. We know local building requirements and have established relationships with inspectors. This isn’t theoretical knowledge – it’s what we deal with every day.
We start with a real site evaluation, not a quick walkthrough. Your property gets assessed for drainage patterns, soil conditions, and any specific challenges that affect the installation. You get honest answers about what’s needed and realistic timelines.
Excavation and base preparation happen next. Most paving failures start here when contractors cut corners or don’t understand local soil conditions. We excavate to proper depth, handle rocky soil removal, install drainage where needed, and create foundations that won’t shift.
The paving installation uses materials designed for Big Hollow’s climate conditions. We coordinate with local requirements, maintain communication throughout the process, and clean up properly when finished. You know what’s happening at each step.

Your project includes everything needed for proper installation. Excavation, base materials, drainage solutions, quality asphalt, professional installation, and cleanup. No hidden costs or surprise charges that appear later.
Big Hollow’s conditions require specialized approaches. Rocky soil removal, proper grading for seasonal water management, and installation methods that handle freeze-thaw cycles. Generic approaches that work elsewhere often fail here within a few years.
We handle both residential driveways and commercial parking lots. Emergency response when urgent repairs can’t wait. Excavation and foundation services when you need complete site preparation. Year-round availability with seasonal focus adjustments based on weather conditions.
Properly installed asphalt paving in Big Hollow typically lasts 15-20 years with regular maintenance. The key is installation that accounts for our rocky soil, seasonal drainage issues, and freeze-thaw cycles that destroy improperly prepared surfaces.
Most paving failures happen because contractors don’t understand local conditions. They use generic methods that work elsewhere but fail here when ground shifts, water doesn’t drain properly, or temperature swings cause expansion and contraction problems.
We excavate to proper depth for local soil conditions, install drainage where needed, and use materials designed for temperature fluctuations. Regular sealcoating every 2-3 years and prompt crack repair extend lifespan significantly beyond the typical range.
Everything needed for complete installation. Materials, labor, proper excavation, base preparation, drainage solutions, and cleanup. Transparent pricing means no hidden costs or surprise charges that might appear during the project.
Big Hollow’s challenging conditions get factored into every estimate. Rocky soil removal, additional fill material for stable foundations, proper grading for water management, and any special handling required for your specific site conditions.
Permit coordination and inspection scheduling are included when required. We handle compliance with local building requirements so you don’t have to worry about regulatory details that can delay projects or create problems later.
Yes, we provide emergency response throughout Big Hollow for urgent paving issues. Potholes, major cracks, and drainage failures create safety hazards and liability concerns that can’t wait for regular scheduling.
Emergency service includes temporary repairs to make areas safe immediately, followed by permanent solutions when conditions allow proper installation. Some repairs simply can’t wait for perfect weather or optimal timing.
Response depends on current ground conditions, weather, and access to your property. We assess each situation and provide realistic timelines for both immediate fixes and permanent repairs based on what your specific circumstances require.
We handle both residential driveways and commercial parking lots throughout Big Hollow. Commercial projects include access roads, loading areas, and parking facilities that meet ADA compliance requirements and local zoning regulations.
Commercial work requires different approaches than residential projects. Heavier-duty materials for increased traffic loads, proper drainage design for larger surface areas, and coordination with business operations to minimize disruption during installation.
Services include traffic flow planning, striping when required, and scheduling that works with your business operations. We coordinate with property managers and business owners to complete work during optimal times for your specific situation.
Big Hollow’s combination of rocky soil, varying terrain, and seasonal drainage patterns requires specialized approaches that generic paving methods don’t address. We’ve handled projects throughout this area for 25+ years and understand these specific challenges.
Clay soil in some areas, rocky outcroppings in others, and seasonal water movement mean each project needs individual assessment. Cookie-cutter approaches that work elsewhere typically fail here within a few years when local conditions cause problems.
Our local knowledge includes understanding where water tends to collect, how different soil types behave during freeze-thaw cycles, and what drainage solutions work for specific locations. This experience shows in installations that last decades instead of needing repairs within a few years.
Optimal paving season runs from late spring through early fall when ground conditions are stable and temperatures allow proper asphalt curing. However, we provide year-round service with seasonal focus adjustments based on weather conditions.
Winter excavation and foundation work is possible but depends on ground conditions. Frozen ground requires special techniques and may affect scheduling. We assess current conditions and provide realistic timelines for your specific project requirements.
Emergency repairs may proceed during winter with appropriate precautions. For planned projects, scheduling during favorable weather typically results in better outcomes and more efficient installation. We’ll recommend optimal timing based on your specific needs and current conditions.
