Hear From Our Clients
You’re not just getting asphalt laid down—you’re getting a surface engineered for Ballston Lake’s freeze-thaw cycles. When winter hits and your neighbors are dealing with cracked, crumbling driveways, yours will still look like new.
That’s because we understand what works in Saratoga County. The proper base preparation that prevents settling. The right asphalt thickness for our climate. The drainage solutions that keep water from pooling and causing damage.
Your driveway becomes a selling point, not a liability. Clean lines, smooth surface, and the kind of curb appeal that makes your $380,000+ home look like the investment it is.
We’ve been handling paving projects in Ballston Lake since before the tech boom brought all the new construction. We’ve paved driveways for families who’ve been here for generations and for newcomers building custom homes in the $500,000-$750,000 range.
Owner-operated means you talk directly to the person responsible for your project. No middlemen, no confusion, no excuses. When you call, you get straight answers about timelines, costs, and what your specific property needs.
We’ve seen every soil condition, drainage challenge, and access issue Ballston Lake can throw at a paving job. That experience means fewer surprises and better results for you.
First, we assess your specific site conditions—soil type, drainage patterns, and access requirements. Ballston Lake’s varied terrain means every job is different, and cookie-cutter approaches lead to problems down the road.
Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s also what determines whether your driveway lasts 5 years or 25 years. We use the right depth and materials for your specific conditions.
Then we install the asphalt using proper temperatures and compaction techniques. No hand-laying where machine work is needed. No rushing the process because we have another job waiting.
Finally, we handle the details that matter—proper edge work, smooth transitions, and cleanup that leaves your property better than we found it.

Your paving needs extend beyond residential driveways. We handle parking lots for local businesses, private roads for developments, and commercial properties throughout Saratoga County.
Ballston Lake’s growing business district needs contractors who understand traffic loads, ADA compliance, and the kind of professional appearance that reflects well on your company. We’ve worked with everyone from small professional offices to larger commercial developments.
The same attention to detail that goes into a residential driveway applies to commercial work—proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation techniques that deliver long-term value. Because whether it’s your home or your business, you need paving that works.
Properly installed asphalt paving in Ballston Lake typically lasts 15-25 years with regular maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation and using the right asphalt thickness for our freeze-thaw cycles.
New York’s climate is tough on pavement. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, and expands—creating bigger cracks and eventually potholes. That’s why proper installation matters so much here. We use techniques specifically designed for our climate conditions.
Regular sealcoating every 3-4 years and prompt crack repair can extend your driveway’s life significantly. Many of our Ballston Lake driveways from the 1990s are still in excellent condition because they were built right from the start.
An overlay adds new asphalt over your existing driveway, while full replacement removes everything down to the base. The right choice depends on your current driveway’s condition and your long-term goals.
Overlay works well when your existing base is solid but the surface is worn or has minor cracking. It’s less expensive upfront and can add 10-15 years of life. However, if you have drainage issues, settling, or extensive cracking, overlay just covers up problems temporarily.
Full replacement costs more initially but addresses underlying issues and gives you a completely fresh start. For Ballston Lake properties where driveways take heavy winter abuse, full replacement often makes more financial sense over the long term.
Driveway paving in Ballston Lake typically ranges from $7-$13 per square foot for complete installation, depending on site conditions and access requirements. A standard two-car driveway usually runs $4,000-$8,000 for full replacement.
Several factors affect pricing in our area. Ballston Lake’s varied terrain can require additional excavation or special base preparation. Properties with difficult access or drainage challenges cost more to handle properly.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs—no surprises or hidden fees. While we’re not the cheapest option, we’re often the best value when you consider the longevity and quality of the finished product.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for paving in Ballston Lake. We typically schedule most driveway work between May and October when temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees.
Asphalt needs warm temperatures to install properly and cure correctly. Cold weather makes the material harder to work with and can affect the final quality. That’s why we don’t cut corners by working in marginal conditions.
However, we can handle emergency repairs year-round when needed. If you have safety issues or damage that can’t wait, we’ll work with you to find solutions that protect your property until proper paving weather returns.
Yes, we handle commercial paving projects throughout Ballston Lake and Saratoga County. We work with businesses, professional offices, retail centers, and larger commercial developments.
Commercial paving requires different expertise than residential driveways. You need contractors who understand traffic loads, proper drainage for larger areas, ADA compliance requirements, and the importance of minimizing business disruption during construction.
We coordinate with business owners to schedule work during off-hours when possible and always maintain safe access for customers and employees. Our commercial clients appreciate the same direct communication and quality standards we bring to residential projects.
New asphalt needs time to fully cure, which takes 6-12 months in Ballston Lake’s climate. During this period, avoid heavy loads, sharp objects, and turning your steering wheel while the vehicle is stationary.
The biggest mistake homeowners make is sealcoating too early. Wait at least 12 months before applying sealcoat to allow the asphalt oils to properly oxidize. Premature sealing can actually trap moisture and cause problems.
Watch for any settling or minor cracks during the first year and address them promptly. Small issues are easy and inexpensive to fix, but they can become major problems if ignored. We provide guidance on what to watch for and when to take action.
