Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway takes a beating in the Adirondacks. Subzero temperatures that crack inferior asphalt. Heavy snow loads that stress weak foundations. Spring runoff that washes away poorly graded surfaces.
When we finish your driveway paving project, those problems disappear. You get smooth, reliable access to your property regardless of what Mother Nature throws at you. No more white-knuckling it up an icy, pothole-riddled driveway.
Most importantly, you get results that last. We’ve been handling Fourth Lake’s unique conditions for over 25 years, and we know exactly how to build driveways that stand up to everything from lake-effect snow to spring flooding.
We’ve been the go-to paving company for Fourth Lake area property owners for over 25 years. When you call, you talk directly to the owner—not some call center or salesperson who’s never seen your property.
We’ve paved driveways on every type of terrain around the Fulton Chain Lakes. Steep lakefront approaches that challenge most contractors. Properties with drainage nightmares from spring runoff. Driveways that get pounded by snowplows all winter long.
That local knowledge matters when you’re investing in driveway construction. We understand how water moves across Fourth Lake properties, which base materials work best in our soil conditions, and how to grade surfaces that actually shed water instead of collecting it.
We start by evaluating your property’s unique challenges. Fourth Lake driveways aren’t cookie-cutter projects—each one faces different drainage patterns, soil conditions, and access requirements.
Next comes the foundation work that separates professional paving contractors from the fly-by-night operators. We excavate to proper depth, install the right base materials for local conditions, and grade everything so water moves away from your driveway and foundation.
Finally, we install asphalt using proven techniques and quality materials. We won’t rush the job because the weather’s supposed to turn—that’s how you end up with problems later. When we’re done, you get a properly crowned, smooth-riding surface that’s built to handle whatever the Adirondacks can dish out.

Every driveway paving project includes complete excavation, proper base preparation, and professional asphalt installation. We also handle the grading and drainage work that’s critical around Fourth Lake—because a beautiful driveway that washes out in the first spring rain isn’t much of an investment.
Fourth Lake properties often need additional sitework due to challenging terrain and seasonal conditions. We provide excavation services, emergency response for weather damage, and foundation work during winter months when asphalt paving isn’t practical.
Our paving services cover the entire Fulton Chain Lakes region, from Old Forge to Inlet and Eagle Bay. We understand lakefront property challenges, how to handle steep grades safely, and the soil conditions you’ll find throughout this part of the Adirondacks. When you need a paving company that actually knows your area, you’ve found it.
Most residential driveway paving projects take 1-2 days once we begin work. However, timing depends on weather conditions, the amount of prep work needed, and the size of your driveway.
We never rush a paving job to hit an arbitrary deadline. Asphalt needs proper temperatures to cure correctly, and we’ve learned over 25+ years that waiting for ideal conditions saves you money and headaches later. During peak season, we typically schedule projects 1-2 weeks out, though emergency repairs get priority response.
The key is planning ahead. Call us in early spring to discuss your project and get on the schedule for optimal paving weather.
The Adirondack climate creates challenges you won’t find in most other parts of New York. We deal with extreme freeze-thaw cycles that can destroy poorly installed asphalt, heavy snow loads that stress inadequate foundations, and spring runoff that can wash away improperly graded driveways.
Fourth Lake properties also present unique terrain challenges. Steep grades near the water, rocky soil conditions, and drainage patterns that can change dramatically with the seasons. We’ve developed specific techniques for handling these conditions over decades of working exclusively in this area.
That local experience translates into driveways that actually last. We know which materials work best in Adirondack conditions, how to grade surfaces for proper drainage, and how to build foundations that won’t shift during freeze-thaw cycles.
Late spring through early fall provides the best conditions for asphalt paving. We need consistent temperatures above 50°F for proper installation and curing, which typically means May through October in the Fourth Lake area.
However, we provide year-round service by shifting focus to excavation, foundation work, and land clearing during winter months. If you have emergency damage from winter weather, we can often provide temporary repairs to restore access until proper paving season returns.
The smart approach is calling us in early spring to assess your needs and get scheduled. Popular time slots fill up quickly, and you’ll want to secure your preferred timing before the busy season hits.
Proper drainage is absolutely critical in this area due to spring runoff from the surrounding mountains and the terrain around the Fulton Chain Lakes. We start every project by carefully assessing how water moves across your property during different seasons.
Most drainage failures happen because contractors don’t understand local conditions. They might create the right slope for flat terrain but miss how water behaves on Fourth Lake’s varied topography. We make sure your driveway has proper crown and grade to move water away from both the surface and your foundation.
When necessary, we install additional drainage systems or modify existing grades to prevent washouts. It’s much more cost-effective to address these issues during initial construction than to deal with repeated repairs later.
Absolutely. We offer emergency response for weather-related damage and urgent access issues. Living around Fourth Lake means dealing with sudden weather changes that can make driveways impassable overnight.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling, especially when someone’s driveway becomes unsafe or blocks access to their property. During winter months, we can often provide temporary solutions to restore access until proper paving weather returns in spring.
Having a local paving contractor who understands Adirondack conditions and responds quickly makes a huge difference when you need help. We’re not some distant company that takes days to return calls—we live and work in this area too.
Every project includes comprehensive site assessment, excavation as needed, proper base preparation, and professional asphalt installation. We also handle grading and drainage work to ensure water moves away from your driveway and foundation—critical in this area.
Complete cleanup is always included. We leave your property in better condition than we found it. You also get direct communication with the owner throughout the entire project, not a different person every time you call with questions.
We provide honest, upfront estimates that explain exactly what work needs to be done and why. No surprise charges, no high-pressure upselling, just straightforward service from a paving company that’s been serving Fourth Lake area property owners for over 25 years.
