When your driveway or parking lot is done correctly, you stop worrying about it. No more standing water after every storm. No more cracks spreading across the surface by the second winter. No more wondering if you hired the wrong contractor.
You get a smooth, properly graded surface that drains the way it should. Your property looks better. Your investment holds its value. And you’re not calling someone back in two years to fix what should’ve been done right from the start.
That’s what happens when base prep isn’t rushed, when the owner actually shows up to the job, and when the work is done by people who’ve been doing this in Saratoga County for over 25 years. You get asphalt paving that works the way you expected it to when you signed the estimate.
We’ve been serving Greenfield Center, Saratoga Springs, and the surrounding Saratoga County area since the late 1990s. This isn’t a franchise or a company where you never know who’s going to show up. We’re owner-operated, which means the person you talk to during the estimate is the same person managing your project.
Our work includes residential driveway paving, commercial parking lot paving, asphalt repair, excavation, and foundation services. When paving season slows down in winter, our focus shifts to foundations and land clearing—so you can reach us year-round, not just when the weather’s perfect.
Greenfield Center sits in an area where winter does real damage to asphalt. The freeze-thaw cycles here aren’t forgiving. That’s why proper base preparation and drainage matter so much, and why cutting corners costs you more in the long run. After 25 years in this region, we know what works and what doesn’t.
It starts with an honest assessment. You’ll talk directly with the owner—not a salesperson reading from a script. We’ll look at your property, ask about drainage issues or problem areas, and give you a straightforward estimate. No pressure, no upselling services you don’t need.
Once you’re ready to move forward, our crew handles site prep first. That means grading the area properly, addressing any drainage concerns, and building a solid base. This step gets skipped or rushed by a lot of contractors, but it’s the difference between asphalt that lasts 20 years and asphalt that starts failing in three.
After the base is compacted and ready, the asphalt goes down. We work efficiently but don’t cut corners. Edges are built up to protect against water damage. The surface is graded so water moves off your driveway or parking lot instead of pooling in low spots.
You’ll know the timeline before work starts, and if weather causes delays, you’ll hear about it directly. When the job’s done, the owner does a final walkthrough with you. If something’s not right, it gets handled then—not three weeks later after you’ve left a voicemail that never gets returned.

We handle both residential driveway paving and commercial parking lot paving across Greenfield Center, Saratoga Springs, and the greater Saratoga County area. Residential work includes new driveway installations, asphalt repairs, resurfacing, and addressing drainage problems that cause premature deterioration.
For commercial properties, our services include parking lot paving, asphalt repairs, and site prep work. Whether it’s a small business lot or a larger commercial space, the process stays the same: proper base preparation, attention to drainage, and work that’s built to handle the traffic load your property actually sees.
Greenfield Center’s location near Saratoga Springs means properties here see everything from heavy tourist traffic in summer to brutal winter conditions. Your asphalt needs to handle both. That’s why shortcuts don’t work in this region. The base needs to be right. The grading needs to be right. And the contractor needs to understand what Saratoga County winters do to pavement.
Beyond paving, we also provide excavation and foundation services. That means if your project needs more than just a new surface—if there’s grading work, drainage issues, or site prep involved—you’re not juggling multiple contractors. We handle it all, which saves you time and eliminates the finger-pointing that happens when three different contractors blame each other for problems.
In Greenfield Center and the surrounding Saratoga County area, properly installed asphalt typically lasts 15 to 25 years, sometimes longer with good maintenance. The key word there is “properly installed.” The climate here is tough on pavement—freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, temperature swings—so the quality of the base prep and drainage work matters more than in milder regions.
If the base isn’t compacted correctly or drainage isn’t addressed, you’ll start seeing cracks and potholes within a few years. Water gets into those cracks, freezes, expands, and breaks the asphalt apart. That’s not a material problem—that’s an installation problem.
Regular maintenance helps too. Sealcoating every few years protects the surface from UV damage and water infiltration. Addressing small cracks before they spread prevents bigger repairs down the road. But even with perfect maintenance, if the foundation wasn’t done right from the start, you’re fighting a losing battle.
Resurfacing means adding a new layer of asphalt over your existing driveway or parking lot. It’s a good option when the base is still solid but the surface is worn, faded, or has minor cracks. You get a fresh, smooth surface without the cost of tearing everything out and starting over.
Full replacement means removing the old asphalt, addressing any base issues, and installing new asphalt from the ground up. You need this when the base has failed, when there are major drainage problems, or when the existing asphalt is too far gone to resurface. If you’re seeing large cracks, significant settling, or areas where the pavement is breaking apart, resurfacing won’t fix the underlying problem.
The decision comes down to what’s happening below the surface. We’ll tell you honestly which option makes sense for your situation. If someone’s pushing resurfacing when you clearly need replacement, or pushing replacement when resurfacing would work fine, that’s a red flag. The right answer depends on the condition of your base and how much longer you want the pavement to last.
For residential driveways in the Greenfield Center area, you’re typically looking at somewhere between $3 and $7 per square foot for new asphalt installation. That means a standard two-car driveway often runs between $2,000 and $6,000, depending on size, site conditions, and how much prep work is needed.
If your property has drainage issues, needs significant grading, or requires extra base material because the soil is soft, the cost goes up. If you’re working with a straightforward site that doesn’t need much prep, you’ll be on the lower end. Commercial parking lot paving varies more widely based on size and traffic load requirements.
Resurfacing an existing driveway costs less—usually $1.50 to $3 per square foot—because you’re not removing the old asphalt or rebuilding the base. But again, that only works if the base is still in good shape. Trying to save money with resurfacing when you need replacement just means you’ll be spending money again in a few years.
The best way to know what your project will cost is to get an estimate based on your specific property. Every site is different, and we price based on what your job actually needs—not a one-size-fits-all number.
Asphalt paving works best when temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees, which is why most paving happens between late spring and early fall in the Greenfield Center area. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to compact properly and cure correctly. When it’s too cold, the material cools too quickly, doesn’t compact well, and you end up with a surface that won’t last.
That said, emergency repairs can sometimes be done in cooler weather using specialized cold-patch materials, but these are temporary fixes—not permanent solutions. If you have a major pothole or safety issue that can’t wait until spring, a temporary repair can get you through the winter, but you’ll want to do a proper permanent repair once temperatures warm up.
This is one reason why it makes sense to work with a contractor who offers year-round services. We shift to foundation work, excavation, and land clearing during winter months, so when paving season arrives, we’re ready to go. You’re not waiting weeks for a callback because we disappeared for six months.
If you’re planning a paving project, the ideal time to schedule it is late spring through early fall. But if you’re dealing with an urgent issue in winter, reach out anyway—there may be options for temporary solutions until permanent work can be done properly.
Standing water on your driveway means there’s a drainage problem, and it’s usually caused by improper grading or settling over time. When asphalt is installed, it should be graded so water runs off to the sides or toward a drainage area. If that grading wasn’t done correctly from the start, or if the base has settled unevenly, you end up with low spots where water collects.
This isn’t just annoying—it’s damaging. Water sitting on asphalt seeps into small cracks and breaks down the surface. In Greenfield Center’s climate, that water freezes in winter, expands, and makes those cracks bigger. Over time, you’ll see more deterioration in the areas where water pools than anywhere else on your driveway.
Sometimes the fix is as simple as patching and regrading the low spots. Other times, especially if the base has failed, you need more extensive work to correct the drainage. We can assess what’s causing the problem and give you options. If a contractor just wants to patch over it without addressing why water’s pooling in the first place, you’ll be dealing with the same issue again next year.
Proper drainage is something that should be handled during installation, not something you figure out after the fact. That’s why working with a paving contractor who understands site grading and drainage—not just asphalt—makes a difference.
Permit requirements for driveway paving in Greenfield Center depend on the scope of your project and local regulations in Saratoga County. In many cases, repaving an existing driveway in the same footprint doesn’t require a permit. But if you’re expanding your driveway, changing the grade significantly, or altering drainage patterns, you may need to check with the Town of Greenfield.
If your property is near a wetland, has specific zoning restrictions, or if your project involves work close to the road right-of-way, permits are more likely to be required. The rules can vary, and it’s worth confirming before work starts to avoid issues down the road.
We know what’s typically required in the area and can guide you through the process. We can tell you whether your project is likely to need permits and help you understand what’s involved. If someone tells you “don’t worry about permits” without even looking at your property or asking questions about the scope of work, that’s a warning sign.
The last thing you want is to have work done and then find out you needed a permit that wasn’t pulled. It’s always better to ask the question up front and know where you stand before the crew shows up.
