Your new asphalt driveway handles whatever New York weather throws at it. No more worrying about winter freeze-thaw cycles cracking your pavement or water pooling after every storm.
You get a smooth, durable surface that actually drains properly and looks professional for years. The kind of driveway that makes neighbors ask who did the work.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing it was installed correctly the first time, with proper excavation depth and quality materials that won’t fail in two seasons.
We’ve been serving Stillwater and Saratoga County families since 2000, back when contractors actually returned phone calls and showed up when promised.
Owner Mike Morgan handles every project personally, from your first call to final cleanup. No sales reps making promises they can’t keep, no subcontractors you’ve never met working on your property.
We operate year-round with seasonal adjustments—asphalt paving in warmer months, foundations and excavation when temperatures drop. This flexibility means emergency response capability when you need it most.
First, we excavate to proper depth—actually excavate, not just scrape the surface like some contractors do. Proper excavation means your driveway foundation can handle New York’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles without cracking.
Next comes the compacted stone base layer, installed correctly to create a stable foundation. This step determines whether your driveway lasts 20 years or needs repairs in three.
Finally, we install the asphalt when weather conditions are optimal, not when it’s convenient. The material needs proper temperatures to cure correctly, and we won’t compromise your investment to meet an arbitrary deadline.

Every asphalt project includes proper site preparation, quality materials, and professional installation. You get direct communication with the owner, not a middleman who disappears when problems arise.
Stillwater’s location in Saratoga County means dealing with harsh winters and temperature swings that destroy poorly installed asphalt. Our installations account for local climate conditions, including proper drainage systems to prevent costly ice damage.
The work comes with warranty protection because we stand behind what we install. Free estimates help you understand exactly what you’re getting before any work begins, with transparent pricing and no surprise costs.
Asphalt paving in Stillwater typically costs between $5 to $9 per square foot for quality installation. A standard two-car driveway runs $5,000 to $8,800, depending on size and site conditions.
The final cost depends on excavation requirements, current driveway condition, and asphalt thickness needed. Properties requiring extensive excavation or dealing with drainage issues cost more upfront but prevent expensive repairs later.
We provide free estimates that break down all costs clearly, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for before work begins. No hidden fees or surprise charges after the fact.
The optimal window for asphalt installation in New York runs from late spring through early fall, when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F. Asphalt needs proper curing temperatures to achieve maximum durability.
Winter installations are possible for emergency repairs using cold-patch materials, but permanent installations require warmer weather. We won’t compromise your investment by rushing work during poor weather conditions.
Planning your project for optimal weather means better results and longer-lasting pavement that handles New York’s harsh winters without premature cracking or failure.
Winter protection starts with proper installation and drainage. Driveways that drain correctly experience significantly less freeze-thaw damage than those where water pools and repeatedly freezes.
Avoid using rock salt, which accelerates asphalt deterioration over time. Instead, use sand for traction or calcium chloride for ice melting when necessary. Clear snow promptly to prevent ice buildup and weight damage.
Address small cracks immediately before winter weather makes them worse. Small repairs cost a fraction of replacing entire sections damaged by water infiltration and repeated freezing cycles.
An asphalt overlay adds new material over existing pavement that’s structurally sound but showing surface wear. This option costs $3 to $7 per square foot and extends driveway life when the base remains solid.
Full replacement involves removing old asphalt, addressing foundation issues, and installing completely new pavement. This costs more initially but becomes necessary when the existing base has failed or extensive cracking exists.
We evaluate your current driveway condition honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your situation, not automatically the most expensive option.
Most residential asphalt driveway installations take one to two days, depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation, with asphalt paving completed on day two.
Weather conditions can extend timelines, but we won’t rush installation during poor conditions. Proper curing requires specific temperatures and dry conditions for optimal long-term results.
We coordinate scheduling to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring quality installation that lasts for decades, not just until the next harsh winter season.
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent asphalt issues that affect safety or property access. Emergency situations include large potholes blocking driveways or damage from utility work requiring immediate attention.
Emergency repairs often use temporary materials initially, with permanent solutions scheduled when weather permits proper installation. This approach keeps you mobile while ensuring long-term quality and durability.
Our local presence in Stillwater means faster response times compared to companies traveling from distant locations. Being owner-operated also means direct decision-making without corporate approval delays that slow down service.
