Hear From Our Clients
Your pavement investment should last decades, not years. When you choose professional asphalt paving in Clarkville, you get surfaces that handle daily traffic and seasonal weather extremes without constant repairs.
The difference shows in winter. While poorly installed pavement cracks and crumbles from freeze-thaw cycles, properly constructed asphalt flexes with temperature changes and sheds water effectively.
You’ll drive on smooth, durable surfaces that maintain their appearance and functionality year after year. No more avoiding potholes in your own driveway or worrying about customer safety in your parking lot.
We’ve served Clarkville and the Hudson Valley region as an owner-operated paving company for more than 25 years. You work directly with the owner from initial consultation through project completion.
We understand how Clarkville’s climate demands affect pavement longevity. From the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy inferior installations to the drainage challenges that come with Hudson Valley terrain, we’ve seen it all and know how to build accordingly.
Our deep community roots mean we’re here when you need us, whether for scheduled maintenance or emergency repairs. We’ve built our reputation one project at a time through quality work and straightforward communication.
Every paving project starts with proper site assessment and preparation. We evaluate drainage patterns, soil conditions, and traffic requirements to determine the right approach for your specific location.
Excavation and grading come next, establishing the foundation that determines how well your pavement performs long-term. We compact the base properly and ensure adequate drainage to prevent water damage.
The asphalt installation uses professional-grade equipment and proven techniques. We work efficiently while the material is at optimal temperature, creating smooth, even surfaces with proper compaction. Final cleanup leaves your property ready to use with minimal disruption to your routine.

We handle residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and everything in between. Our services include new asphalt installation, resurfacing existing pavement, and comprehensive repair work.
Clarkville properties face unique challenges from Hudson Valley weather patterns. We account for local soil conditions, drainage requirements, and the temperature extremes that can destroy improperly installed pavement. Each project receives the attention needed to perform well in our specific climate.
Beyond basic paving, we provide excavation and site preparation services. Whether you need foundation work, land clearing, or seasonal projects, we adapt our services to match your timeline and requirements throughout the year.
Properly installed asphalt paving in Clarkville typically lasts 20-30 years with appropriate maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate drainage, and using the right asphalt mix for our climate.
Hudson Valley’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on pavement. Water that penetrates surface cracks expands when it freezes, creating larger cracks and eventual structural failure. Quality installation prevents this by creating proper drainage and using techniques that allow for thermal movement.
Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years extends pavement life significantly by preventing water penetration and protecting against UV damage and chemical spills.
Resurfacing involves removing the top layer of existing asphalt and installing new pavement over the existing base. This works when the foundation remains solid but the surface has deteriorated from normal wear.
Complete replacement removes all existing pavement and rebuilds from the ground up. This becomes necessary when the base has failed, drainage problems exist, or the existing pavement has structural damage like alligator cracking.
The decision depends on the condition of your current pavement and base. We assess each situation individually and recommend the most cost-effective approach that provides long-term performance. Sometimes resurfacing saves money initially but complete replacement offers better value over time.
Proper drainage is critical for pavement longevity in Clarkville’s climate. We evaluate water flow patterns during the initial site assessment and design the pavement grade to direct water away from the surface and foundation.
This often involves adjusting the slope during excavation and grading phases. We ensure water flows toward appropriate drainage areas rather than pooling on the pavement or flowing toward buildings. In some cases, we install drainage systems or modify existing ones.
Standing water is pavement’s biggest enemy. Even small puddles that seem harmless can penetrate surface cracks and cause significant damage during freeze cycles. Our installation methods prevent water accumulation and protect your investment from moisture-related failure.
Most residential driveway projects take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Commercial projects vary based on scope but we provide detailed timelines during the planning phase.
Day one typically involves excavation, grading, and base preparation. We mark underground utilities beforehand and protect surrounding landscaping. The actual asphalt installation happens on day two when weather conditions are appropriate.
You’ll need to keep vehicles off the new pavement for 24-48 hours while it cures properly. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your routine and provide clear instructions for post-installation care. The owner supervises every project personally to ensure quality standards are met.
Yes, we offer emergency response capability for urgent paving repairs. This includes situations like major pothole damage that creates safety hazards or pavement failure that blocks access to your property.
Emergency services are particularly important during winter months when small problems can quickly become major issues. A crack that seems minor can become a dangerous pothole within days during freeze-thaw cycles.
We prioritize emergency calls and can often provide temporary repairs to restore safe access while scheduling permanent solutions. Being owner-operated means you get direct access to decision-makers who can respond quickly when urgent situations arise.
New asphalt requires minimal maintenance initially but benefits from proactive care to maximize lifespan. The first year involves monitoring for any settling or minor cracks that may develop as the pavement fully cures.
Sealcoating should be applied 12-18 months after installation, then every 3-5 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. This protective coating prevents water penetration and protects against UV damage and chemical spills.
Regular cleaning and prompt crack repair prevent small issues from becoming major problems. In Clarkville’s climate, addressing cracks before winter prevents freeze-thaw damage that can destroy pavement quickly. We provide maintenance guidance specific to your pavement type and local conditions.
