Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of dealing with cracked driveways that turn into expensive headaches. Every winter, those small cracks become bigger problems, and every spring brings new damage from freeze-thaw cycles.
When we finish your paving project, you get a smooth, durable surface that handles New York weather without falling apart. Your property value increases, your daily stress decreases, and you stop worrying about costly emergency repairs.
The difference is in our preparation and materials. We don’t cut corners on the base work that keeps your pavement stable for decades, not just years.
We’ve been serving Fernwood and the surrounding region for over 25 years as an owner-operated paving company. You work directly with the owner from your first call through project completion.
We understand Fernwood’s unique challenges—from soil conditions to weather patterns that destroy poorly installed pavement. Our local expertise means we prepare for problems before they happen.
When you hire us, you’re getting a contractor who lives in this community and stands behind every job. No subcontractors, no runaround, just straightforward communication and quality work.
First, we assess your property and discuss your specific needs during a free consultation. We measure, evaluate drainage, and explain what’s required for a long-lasting result.
Next comes proper preparation—the foundation work that separates professional jobs from quick fixes. We excavate to the right depth, install proper base materials, and ensure adequate drainage before any asphalt goes down.
Finally, we install your new pavement using professional-grade equipment and materials designed for New York weather. You get clear timelines, regular updates, and a finished surface that’s ready to handle whatever comes next.

Our services include new driveway installation, parking lot paving, asphalt repair, and emergency response for urgent situations. We handle both residential and commercial projects with the same attention to detail.
In Fernwood’s climate, proper drainage and winter preparation are essential. We design every project to handle heavy snow loads, ice formation, and the expansion-contraction cycles that destroy inferior work.
You also get year-round availability with seasonal focus shifts. During winter months, we handle foundation work and site preparation, so we’re ready to complete your paving project as soon as conditions allow.
Properly installed asphalt paving lasts 15-30 years in New York, depending on installation quality and maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate drainage, and using materials designed for freeze-thaw cycles.
In Fernwood, we see the best results when the base is excavated to proper depth and compacted correctly. Poor preparation leads to premature cracking and costly repairs within just a few years.
We use materials and techniques specifically chosen for this region’s weather patterns. That means your investment performs well through harsh winters and hot summers without constant maintenance needs.
An overlay adds a new layer of asphalt over existing pavement when the base is still solid. Complete replacement removes everything and starts fresh with new base preparation and asphalt installation.
Overlay works when your current pavement has surface issues but the foundation remains stable. It’s more cost-effective but only addresses surface problems, not underlying structural issues.
Complete replacement is necessary when the base has failed, drainage is inadequate, or the existing pavement has extensive cracking. We evaluate each situation and recommend the approach that gives you the best long-term value.
Proper drainage is critical for pavement longevity, especially in New York where water infiltration causes most premature failures. We evaluate your property’s natural water flow and design appropriate drainage solutions.
This might include adjusting grades, installing drainage systems, or modifying the pavement design to direct water away from the surface. Poor drainage turns small problems into expensive replacements.
We address drainage during the planning phase, not after problems develop. Every project includes proper slope design and water management to prevent the pooling and infiltration that destroys pavement from below.
The ideal paving season runs from late spring through early fall when temperatures are consistently warm and dry. Asphalt needs proper curing conditions to achieve full strength and durability.
However, we offer year-round services by adapting our approach to seasonal conditions. Winter months are excellent for planning, site preparation, and foundation work, so we’re ready when paving season arrives.
Emergency repairs can be handled outside optimal conditions when necessary. We maintain equipment and materials to address urgent situations, though scheduled work during favorable weather always produces the best long-term results.
Expect clear communication and defined timelines from start to finish. We begin with site preparation, which includes excavation, base installation, and proper compaction—this foundation work is crucial for longevity.
The actual paving happens quickly once preparation is complete, but curing takes time. You’ll need to avoid heavy traffic and sharp objects for several days while the asphalt reaches full strength.
We provide specific care instructions and timeline expectations upfront. No surprises, no extended disruptions, just professional work completed efficiently with attention to proper procedures.
Surface cracks, potholes, and uneven areas indicate developing problems that need attention. Small issues caught early often require only repairs, while extensive damage typically means replacement is more cost-effective.
Look for drainage problems, areas where water pools, or sections that have become soft or unstable. These signs suggest base failure that can’t be fixed with surface treatments alone.
We provide honest assessments during free consultations. Our goal is recommending the approach that gives you the best value, whether that’s targeted repairs, overlay, or complete replacement.
