You need pavement that works when it matters most. When winter dumps 70 inches of snow on Hadley and freeze-thaw cycles try to crack your driveway, proper paving makes the difference between smooth access and costly repairs.
Our asphalt installations use proven techniques and quality materials designed for upstate New York conditions. You get a driveway that sheds water properly, resists cracking, and maintains its integrity through multiple seasons of punishment.
No more dealing with potholes every spring or watching your investment crumble after a few years. Just reliable pavement that does its job day after day.

Morgan Construction handles both residential driveway paving and commercial parking lot projects throughout Hadley. We provide comprehensive services including new installations, repairs, sealcoating, and seasonal maintenance.
For Hadley property owners, this means working with contractors who understand local challenges. The area’s heavy snowfall and temperature extremes require specific approaches to base preparation, drainage, and material selection that many outside contractors miss.
Commercial clients appreciate our ability to coordinate larger projects efficiently while maintaining quality standards. Whether you need a residential driveway or a full parking lot installation, the same attention to detail and owner oversight applies to every project size.
Properly installed asphalt paving typically lasts 15-20 years in Hadley’s climate when maintained correctly. The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate drainage, and using materials designed for freeze-thaw cycles.
Hadley receives about 70 inches of snow annually and experiences significant temperature swings that can damage poorly installed pavement. Quality installation with proper compaction and drainage extends pavement life considerably compared to rushed or inadequate work.
Regular maintenance like sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair helps maximize your investment. With proper care, well-installed asphalt can serve reliably for decades even in challenging upstate New York conditions.
Late spring through early fall provides optimal conditions for asphalt paving in Hadley. The ideal temperature range is above 50°F with dry conditions, typically from May through October.
Summer months offer the most consistent weather, but experienced contractors can work effectively during shoulder seasons when conditions permit. Avoiding winter installation is crucial since cold temperatures prevent proper asphalt curing and compaction.
Planning your project for late spring or summer also allows time for any necessary base work or drainage improvements. Starting early in the season gives you the best scheduling flexibility and ensures completion before winter weather arrives.
Proper winter preparation starts with the initial installation. Adequate base thickness, proper drainage, and quality materials create pavement that resists freeze-thaw damage from the beginning.
The base must extend below the frost line and include proper drainage to prevent water from accumulating and freezing underneath the asphalt. This prevents heaving and cracking that commonly occur when water freezes and expands beneath poorly prepared surfaces.
Sealcoating before winter provides additional protection by preventing water penetration into small cracks. Combined with prompt snow removal and avoiding harsh deicing chemicals when possible, these steps help your pavement survive multiple winter seasons without significant damage.
Owner involvement makes the biggest difference. Mike Morgan personally oversees every project rather than sending crews out unsupervised. This ensures consistent quality and gives you direct access to someone who stands behind the work.
We focus on proper preparation and quality materials rather than cutting corners to offer the lowest price. This approach costs slightly more upfront but saves money long-term by reducing repairs and extending pavement life.
