Your driveway stops being a problem. No more dodging potholes or explaining away cracks to visitors.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Fortsville adds $5,000 to $20,000 to your home’s value. That’s not marketing fluff—it’s what appraisers and real estate data consistently show.
More importantly, you get peace of mind. Quality paving means your surface handles our brutal winter freeze-thaw cycles without falling apart in two years. You’re investing in something that works, looks good, and lasts.
We’ve been handling Fortsville’s paving challenges since before most competitors existed. We understand what works in Saratoga County’s climate and what doesn’t.
You work directly with the owner. No middlemen, no confusion about who’s responsible. When you call, you get straight answers from someone who’s been doing this work for over two decades.
We’ve built our reputation one driveway at a time in communities like Moreau, South Glens Falls, and throughout the greater Fortsville area. Local homeowners know they can count on us for honest pricing and quality work that actually lasts.
First, we assess your existing surface and drainage. Poor drainage kills driveways faster than anything else, especially here in Fortsville where water has nowhere to go during spring thaw.
Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This isn’t the glamorous part, but it’s what determines whether your driveway lasts 5 years or 25. We grade everything correctly and use the right aggregate base for our soil conditions.
Installation happens when conditions are right. We don’t rush jobs in bad weather because that compromises quality. Once we’re done, you get clear instructions on curing time and care. Most driveways are ready for light traffic in 72 hours.

Every Morgan Construction driveway paving project includes proper site preparation, quality asphalt mix designed for Northeast conditions, and professional grading for water runoff.
We handle the details that matter in Fortsville’s climate. That means using the right asphalt thickness for your soil type and traffic load. It means proper compaction that won’t settle unevenly. It means edge work that prevents cracking and deterioration.
You also get transparent communication throughout the process. No surprise charges, no corners cut when you’re not looking. We’ve been in business too long to risk our reputation on shortcuts that come back to bite everyone later.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Fortsville typically lasts 20-25 years with basic maintenance. The key word is “properly installed.”
Our harsh freeze-thaw cycles destroy poorly installed driveways within 5-7 years. But when you start with proper excavation, correct base materials, and quality asphalt mix, your driveway weathers these conditions much better.
Regular sealcoating every 3-4 years extends lifespan significantly. We see well-maintained driveways from the 1990s that still look and function great.
April through October gives us the best conditions for quality asphalt installation. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to compact properly and cure correctly.
We don’t recommend paving when temperatures drop below 50 degrees consistently. Cold weather installation often leads to premature cracking and surface problems that show up the following spring.
Planning ahead is smart. Schedule your project for late spring or early summer, and you’ll have the full season for proper curing before winter hits.
Most Fortsville driveway paving projects run $4-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions and prep work required. A typical 600 square foot driveway costs $2,400-4,200.
Price varies based on excavation needs, drainage requirements, and access challenges. Properties with poor drainage or significant grade changes require more prep work.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs. No hidden charges or surprise additions once work begins.
Absolutely. Proper drainage is critical for driveway longevity in Fortsville’s climate. Water that can’t drain properly destroys asphalt through freeze-thaw damage.
We assess drainage during initial site evaluation and include necessary corrections in our project scope. This might mean adjusting grades, installing catch basins, or redirecting water flow away from the pavement.
Fixing drainage upfront costs less than replacing a failed driveway in three years. We’ve seen too many shortcuts turn into expensive problems.
Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of your existing surface. If the base is structurally sound without major settling or drainage problems, overlay can work well.
However, if your current driveway has significant cracks, settling, or drainage issues, overlay just postpones bigger problems. We’ll assess your situation honestly and recommend the approach that makes most sense long-term.
Complete removal and replacement costs more upfront but often provides better value when existing surfaces have structural problems.
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent driveway problems that create safety hazards or property damage. This includes major washouts, significant settling, or damage from utility work.
Emergency repairs focus on immediate safety and preventing further damage. We’ll stabilize the situation quickly, then discuss permanent solutions once conditions allow proper installation.
Keep in mind that permanent repairs often wait for appropriate weather conditions. But we can make your driveway safe and functional while you wait for ideal installation weather.
