Hear From Our Clients
You’re not looking for someone to just show up and throw down asphalt. You need a driveway that handles freeze-thaw cycles without cracking apart in two years. A parking lot that doesn’t turn into a pothole minefield every spring. Pavement that actually drains instead of pooling water at your entrance.
That’s what proper paving gets you. A surface built on a solid base, graded correctly, compacted right. It looks clean, it lasts, and it doesn’t become your problem again next season.
You also get your time back. No chasing down contractors who won’t return calls. No surprise fees halfway through the job. Just clear communication from someone who’s been doing this for over 25 years and knows what works in Yaddo’s climate.
We’ve been handling paving, asphalt, excavation, and foundation work across Yaddo and Saratoga County for more than two decades. This isn’t a crew that rotates through owners or changes names every few years. We’re owner-operated, which means the person you talk to at the estimate is the same person overseeing your job.
That matters here. Yaddo winters are tough on pavement. Freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, temperature swings—it all takes a toll. We’ve seen what fails and what holds up, and we build accordingly.
You’re working with someone who’s part of this community, not just passing through looking for the next contract. That’s how we’ve stayed in business this long.
First, we look at what you’ve got. If it’s a driveway, we check the base, the drainage, the grade. If it’s a parking lot, we assess traffic patterns, load requirements, and any problem areas. You get an honest assessment—repair, resurface, or replace—based on what the pavement actually needs, not what makes us the most money.
Once we agree on scope and price, we prep the site. That means proper excavation if needed, a compacted base that won’t shift, and grading that moves water away from your property. Shortcuts here cost you later, so we don’t take them.
Then we lay the asphalt. Hot mix, proper thickness for your application, rolled and compacted while it’s still workable. Edges get attention. Transitions get smoothed. The surface gets checked.
After that, it cures. You’ll know when you can use it. And if something needs adjusting, we handle it then—not six months later when you finally track us down.

Paving in Yaddo isn’t just about the asphalt itself. It’s about understanding what this area demands. Your driveway needs to handle winter plowing without the edges crumbling. Your parking lot needs proper slope so spring melt doesn’t flood your entrance. Your base needs to be stable enough that the pavement doesn’t sink or heave when the ground freezes.
We handle residential driveways—new installation, replacement, or resurfacing depending on condition. We do commercial parking lots built for actual traffic, not just the minimum spec. That includes proper base prep, thickness designed for load, and drainage that works.
Site work and excavation are part of what we do year-round. When it’s too cold for asphalt, we shift to foundations and land clearing. That flexibility means we’re available when you need us, not just during peak paving season.
You also get straightforward communication. No jargon, no runaround. If there’s a problem, you hear about it. If the timeline shifts, you know why. The owner’s involved from start to finish, so there’s always someone who can actually answer your questions.
Driveway paving costs in Yaddo typically run between $5 and $15 per square foot, depending on size, current condition, and what kind of prep work is needed. A standard two-car driveway usually falls in the $4,000 to $8,000 range for full installation.
But here’s what actually determines your cost: if we’re tearing out old pavement, that’s demo and disposal. If your base is shot, we’re rebuilding it. If drainage is a problem, we’re fixing that too. A simple overlay on a solid base costs less than a full tearout and rebuild.
We don’t give you a number over the phone and hope it sticks. We look at your specific situation and price it honestly. That way you know what you’re paying for and why.
In Yaddo’s climate, properly installed asphalt lasts 15 to 30 years. That’s a wide range because installation quality and maintenance make a huge difference.
If your base is solid, your drainage works, and you sealcoat every few years, you’re looking at the higher end of that range. If corners were cut during installation—thin asphalt, poor compaction, no attention to water flow—you might see cracking and failure within 5 to 10 years.
Freeze-thaw cycles are the biggest enemy here. Water gets into cracks, freezes, expands, and breaks the pavement apart. That’s why proper sealing and crack filling matter. It’s also why we make sure water drains off the surface instead of sitting there waiting to freeze.
Resurfacing means adding a new layer of asphalt over your existing driveway. It works when your base is still solid but the surface is worn, faded, or has minor cracking. It’s faster and costs less—usually $3 to $7 per square foot versus $7 to $15 for full replacement.
Replacing means tearing out the old pavement and starting over. You do this when the base has failed, when there’s major cracking or settling, or when the existing pavement is too far gone to overlay. It takes longer and costs more, but you’re getting a fresh start with a properly built foundation.
We’ll tell you which one makes sense for your situation. If your driveway just needs a facelift, we’re not going to sell you a full replacement. If it needs to be rebuilt, we’re not going to slap a band-aid on it and call it fixed.
We handle both. Residential driveways, commercial parking lots, private roads—whatever needs paving. The approach is different because the requirements are different, but the principles are the same: solid base, proper drainage, quality materials, correct installation.
Commercial work usually means heavier loads, more traffic, and tighter timelines. A parking lot needs thicker asphalt than a driveway—often 4 to 6 inches instead of 2 to 3. It needs to handle delivery trucks, not just passenger cars. And it often needs to be done in phases so your business stays open.
We’ve been doing this long enough to know how to plan around your operations, build to the right spec, and finish on schedule. Whether it’s a small business lot or a residential driveway, you’re getting the same level of attention.
Late spring through early fall—roughly May through October—is ideal for asphalt paving in Yaddo. You need warm temperatures for the asphalt to compact properly and cure correctly. Cold weather makes the material harder to work with and doesn’t give you the same long-term results.
That said, if you’ve got an emergency repair or a project that can’t wait, there are options. We work year-round, and when paving isn’t possible, we shift to other services like excavation and foundation work.
If you’re planning ahead, spring and fall tend to be less busy than summer, which can mean more scheduling flexibility. But the most important thing is making sure conditions are right for quality work, not just getting it done fast.
If you’ve got a few cracks or small areas of damage and the rest of the pavement is solid, repairs usually make sense. Crack filling, patching potholes, or sealcoating can extend the life of your driveway or parking lot without the cost of replacement.
But if more than 30% of the surface needs work, if cracks are wider than a quarter-inch and deeper than two inches, or if the pavement is sinking and heaving because the base has failed, replacement is the smarter move. At that point, you’re throwing money at a surface that’s going to keep failing.
We’ll look at your pavement and give you an honest assessment. If repairs will actually fix the problem, we’ll tell you. If you’re better off replacing it, we’ll explain why. No pressure, just information so you can make the right call.
