Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of patching the same cracks every spring. You’re done with contractors who disappear after taking your money. You want a driveway that works.
Here’s what changes when you work with us. Your driveway handles New York’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles without cracking apart. Water drains properly instead of pooling against your foundation. You get straight answers about costs upfront, not surprise bills later.
Most importantly, you work directly with the owner throughout your project. No middlemen, no confusion, no wondering if the work will actually get done right.
We’ve been handling Mosherville’s toughest paving challenges for over two decades. We’re not a fly-by-night operation or some national chain that doesn’t understand local conditions.
We know how New York weather destroys poorly installed driveways. We’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners on base preparation or use the wrong materials for our climate. That’s why we do things differently.
You work directly with the owner from your first call to project completion. No sales teams, no project managers who’ve never swung a hammer. Just honest communication and the kind of attention to detail that comes from putting our name on every job.
First, we assess your property’s drainage and existing conditions. Many driveway failures start with poor site preparation, so we take time to understand what we’re working with.
Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s the foundation of everything. We use proper grading techniques and quality stone base materials that handle New York’s ground movement.
Then we install your asphalt using proven techniques for our local climate. We time the work for optimal weather conditions and use materials that bond properly in our temperature ranges. Finally, we ensure proper drainage away from your foundation and provide clear maintenance guidance.
You’ll know exactly what’s happening at each step, with no surprises or hidden complications that suddenly cost more money.

Your driveway paving project includes comprehensive site preparation, proper excavation, quality stone base installation, and professional asphalt application. We handle all aspects from permits to cleanup.
In Mosherville, we see specific challenges that many contractors ignore. Older properties often have drainage issues that direct water toward foundations instead of away. Many existing driveways lack proper base preparation, leading to premature failure.
We address these local conditions in every project. Proper grading ensures water flows away from your home. Quality base materials prevent settling and cracking. Our asphalt techniques account for New York’s temperature extremes and freeze-thaw cycles.
You also get transparent documentation of all work performed, warranty information, and maintenance guidance specific to our local climate conditions.
Driveway paving costs in New York typically range from $5 to $9 per square foot for quality asphalt installation. The final price depends on your driveway size, current conditions, and any drainage work needed.
We provide transparent estimates that include all costs upfront. No hidden charges for “unexpected” conditions that any experienced contractor should anticipate. Our pricing reflects the quality materials and proper installation techniques needed for New York’s challenging climate.
Most homeowners find that investing in proper installation saves money long-term compared to cheap work that fails within a few years.
The optimal time for driveway paving in New York is late spring through early fall, when temperatures consistently stay between 65-75°F. Asphalt needs these temperatures to cure properly and achieve maximum durability.
We don’t recommend paving when temperatures drop below 50°F because the asphalt cools too quickly for proper compaction. This leads to weak pavement that’s prone to cracking and pothole formation during freeze-thaw cycles.
Planning your project during the ideal weather window ensures your driveway will handle New York winters without premature failure.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in New York should last 15-25 years with appropriate maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation techniques suited for our climate.
Many driveways fail prematurely because contractors skip critical steps like adequate base preparation or proper drainage. When water penetrates the base layers during freeze-thaw cycles, it causes cracking and structural failure.
Regular sealcoating every 2-3 years helps protect against water penetration and extends your driveway’s lifespan. We provide specific maintenance guidance for New York’s weather conditions.
New York’s freeze-thaw cycles are the primary cause of driveway damage. Water penetrates small cracks, freezes, expands, and creates larger cracks. This process repeats until you have significant structural damage.
Poor drainage makes the problem worse by allowing water to pool and penetrate the pavement. Many older properties have grading issues that direct water toward foundations instead of away from structures.
Inadequate base preparation is another common cause. When contractors skip proper excavation and stone base installation, the pavement lacks the foundation needed to handle ground movement and temperature changes.
No, we don’t pave in cold weather or rain because it compromises the installation quality. Asphalt needs warm, dry conditions to bond properly and achieve the density required for durability.
Cold temperatures cause asphalt to cool too quickly, preventing proper compaction. Rain interferes with bonding and can weaken base layers, leading to premature failure. We wait for proper conditions rather than rushing jobs that won’t last.
We schedule projects during optimal weather windows and communicate clearly about any delays needed to ensure quality results. It’s better to wait for proper conditions than deal with failed pavement later.
Yes, proper drainage is essential for driveway longevity in New York’s climate. We assess drainage conditions during every project and address issues that could cause water damage to your pavement or foundation.
Many older properties in our area have grading problems that direct water toward foundations instead of away. This causes both driveway damage and potential foundation issues over time.
We correct grading problems, install proper drainage systems when needed, and ensure water flows away from both your driveway and your home. This comprehensive approach prevents the water-related damage that destroys many driveways in our region.
