Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of looking at that cracked, uneven driveway every time you pull in. You want it fixed properly, not patched with some temporary solution that’ll fail next winter.
When we’re done, you’ll have a smooth, properly graded surface that handles Maple Shade’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or settling. No more scraping your car’s undercarriage or dealing with water pooling where it shouldn’t.
That’s what happens when the work is done right the first time, with proper base preparation and quality materials that match local conditions.
We’ve been handling paving, excavation, and foundation work in Maple Shade for over 25 years. You deal directly with the owner, not some sales rep who disappears after you sign.
We’ve seen every type of soil condition, drainage issue, and seasonal challenge this area throws at contractors. From the residential neighborhoods near Fellowship Road to the commercial properties along Route 73, we understand what works here.
You get straight answers, competitive pricing, and work that’s built to last through upstate New York winters and summers.
First, we come out and actually look at your project—not just give you a number over the phone. We check drainage, existing base conditions, and any potential issues before we quote.
Once we start, we handle proper excavation and base preparation. That means removing inadequate material, grading for proper drainage, and installing the right base for your specific conditions. Then we lay the asphalt at the correct thickness and compact it properly.
You know exactly what’s happening and when. No waiting around wondering if we’re coming back tomorrow, no surprise change orders halfway through.

We handle residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and everything in between. That includes excavation, proper base installation, asphalt paving, and sealcoating when needed.
In Maple Shade’s climate, proper drainage is critical. We grade everything to direct water away from your foundation and prevent the freeze-thaw damage that destroys poorly installed pavement. Our work accounts for the clay soils common in this area and the temperature swings that can crack inferior installations.
During winter months, we shift to foundation work and land clearing, so you get year-round availability regardless of the season.
Properly installed asphalt should last 15-20 years in our climate, but that depends entirely on the installation quality. Most failures happen because of poor base preparation or inadequate drainage, not the asphalt itself.
We see plenty of driveways that were installed wrong the first time—thin asphalt over poor base, no proper grading for water runoff, or corners cut on compaction. Those start failing within 2-3 years.
When we do the work, we excavate to proper depth, install adequate base material, and grade everything for proper drainage. That’s why our installations handle Maple Shade’s freeze-thaw cycles without premature cracking or settling.
An overlay means putting new asphalt over your existing surface. It’s cheaper upfront but only works if your current base and drainage are solid. If you have foundation problems, an overlay just covers them temporarily.
Complete replacement means we remove the old material, address any base or drainage issues, and install everything new. It costs more initially but fixes underlying problems that cause recurring failures.
We’ll tell you honestly which approach makes sense for your situation. If your current driveway has settling, drainage problems, or base failure, an overlay is throwing money away. But if the foundation is solid and you just need a new surface, overlay can be a smart choice.
Drainage is the most important part of any paving project in this area. Poor drainage causes 90% of premature asphalt failure, especially with our freeze-thaw cycles.
We grade everything to direct water away from your foundation and off the pavement surface. That might mean adjusting slopes, installing catch basins, or adding drainage pipes where needed. We also seal edges properly to prevent water from getting under the asphalt.
Many contractors skip these steps to save time and money, but water always finds a way. When it freezes under your pavement, it lifts and cracks the asphalt. Proper drainage prevents that from happening.
Pricing depends on size, current conditions, and what needs to be done. A typical residential driveway replacement runs $3-6 per square foot, but that varies based on excavation requirements and access.
We price everything honestly upfront—no surprise charges or hidden fees after we start. If we find unexpected conditions during excavation, we discuss options before proceeding.
Beware of prices that seem too good to be true. Quality materials and proper installation cost what they cost. Contractors who underbid usually cut corners on base preparation, asphalt thickness, or compaction. You’ll pay more later when the work fails.
Yes, we handle emergency repairs for both residential and commercial customers. That includes pothole repairs, temporary patches, and urgent drainage fixes that can’t wait.
Emergency work costs more than scheduled projects because we’re dropping everything to help you immediately. But sometimes you need that driveway or parking lot fixed right away, especially for safety reasons.
We keep materials and equipment available for emergency calls. When you call, you talk to the owner directly, not some answering service. We’ll let you know honestly if it’s truly urgent or if it can wait for regular scheduling.
Late spring through early fall is ideal for asphalt work. The material needs warm temperatures to compact properly, and we need dry conditions for installation.
We can do some paving work into November if weather cooperates, but winter paving is limited to emergency repairs only. That’s when we shift to excavation, foundation work, and land clearing projects.
If you’re planning ahead, spring scheduling gives you the best weather window and avoids the rush. But we work year-round on different types of projects, so there’s always something we can help you with regardless of season.
