Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway won’t turn into a cracked mess by March. Your parking lot won’t become a liability nightmare filled with potholes. When you hire the right paving company in Rockhurst, you get asphalt that handles New York’s brutal weather cycles without falling apart.
The secret isn’t magic—it’s proper timing and installation. Most paving failures happen because contractors rush jobs or ignore weather conditions. We time every project around New York’s climate demands, wait for proper temperature ranges, and never cut corners on base preparation.
The difference shows up in year three when your neighbors are calling repair crews and you’re not. That’s what 25+ years of local paving experience delivers.
We’ve been the go-to paving contractor for Rockhurst property owners for over 25 years. You work directly with the owner from your first call through project completion—no sales reps, no project managers you’ve never met, no runaround.
This isn’t just a nice touch—it’s how we deliver better results. When you have questions, you get straight answers from someone who’s actually been doing this work for decades. When problems arise, you’re talking to the person who can fix them immediately.
We know every soil condition, drainage challenge, and property quirk that Rockhurst can throw at a paving project. That local knowledge means fewer surprises, better preparation, and pavement that performs exactly as promised.
First, we assess your specific site conditions. No cookie-cutter estimates—we examine soil composition, drainage patterns, access requirements, and timing constraints. You get a detailed breakdown of exactly what needs to happen and realistic timeframes.
Next comes the foundation work that determines how your pavement performs for the next 20 years. Proper excavation, base preparation, and grading can’t be rushed. We take the time to do this right because shortcuts here cost you thousands in premature repairs.
Then we wait for proper weather conditions before laying asphalt. New York’s climate demands specific temperature ranges for quality curing. We’ll reschedule rather than force installation in poor conditions—because pavement installed wrong doesn’t just look bad, it fails fast.

We handle the full range of paving and excavation services Rockhurst properties need. Residential driveways, commercial parking lots, asphalt repairs, excavation work, and foundation services. We’re equipped for both new installations and emergency repairs.
Rockhurst’s unique soil conditions and weather patterns require local expertise. Properties near the older sections of town often need specialized drainage solutions. Commercial areas require heavier base preparation for truck traffic. We adjust our approach based on your specific location and requirements.
Our year-round availability includes true emergency response. When your parking lot develops dangerous potholes or your driveway cracks open after a hard freeze, you can reach us directly. During winter months, we shift focus to excavation and foundation work—we’re never sitting idle when you need help.
Late spring through early fall delivers the best results for asphalt paving in Rockhurst. We need consistent temperatures between 65-75°F for proper curing, which typically means May through September in our area.
Winter paving is technically possible but rarely worth the risk. Cold temperatures prevent proper compaction and lead to premature cracking. We’d rather wait for ideal conditions than deliver work that fails in two years instead of twenty.
Emergency repairs during cold months get temporary fixes, but we’ll recommend scheduling permanent work when weather conditions support quality installation. It’s the difference between a patch job and a lasting solution.
Properly installed asphalt in Rockhurst should last 15-20 years with basic maintenance. The key is installation timing and base preparation—shortcuts here cost you years of pavement life.
New York’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on pavement, but quality asphalt installed at proper temperatures with correct compaction handles these conditions well. We regularly see driveways we paved 15+ years ago still performing without major repairs.
Regular sealcoating every 3-4 years extends lifespan significantly. Prompt crack repairs prevent water infiltration that leads to bigger problems. Maintaining good pavement costs far less than replacing failed pavement.
Yes, we handle everything from residential driveways to large commercial parking lots. The approach differs but quality standards remain the same—proper preparation, correct timing, and materials specified for your exact application.
Commercial projects require heavier base preparation and different asphalt mixes to handle truck traffic. Residential work focuses more on drainage management and curb appeal. We adjust methods based on how the pavement will actually be used.
Our equipment and crew capacity scale to match project requirements. Small driveway repair or major parking lot installation—we bring appropriate resources to complete your job efficiently without compromising quality.
You work directly with the owner on every project. No sales reps making promises they can’t keep, no project managers you’ve never met—just straightforward communication with someone who’s been doing this work for 25+ years and has skin in the game.
We time projects around weather conditions rather than forcing schedules. Most paving failures happen because contractors work in poor conditions to meet arbitrary deadlines. We’ll reschedule rather than deliver work that won’t last.
Our emergency response capability means you can reach us when problems arise. Most contractors disappear after collecting payment—we stick around because Rockhurst is our community and our reputation depends on long-term performance.
Every estimate starts with on-site assessment of your specific conditions. We don’t give ballpark numbers over the phone because soil conditions, drainage requirements, and access challenges vary dramatically between properties.
Our estimates detail exactly what work is included, materials specifications, and realistic timelines. No hidden costs or surprise charges—you know upfront what you’re paying for and why it’s necessary.
We’re competitive on pricing but won’t sacrifice quality to win bids. Proper base preparation and correct timing cost more initially but save thousands long-term by avoiding premature repairs and replacement.
Most residential projects take 1-2 days depending on size and complexity. Commercial work varies based on square footage and traffic management requirements. We provide detailed scheduling so you know exactly when crews will be on-site.
Expect some noise and temporary access restrictions during active work. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption and clean up thoroughly each day. New asphalt needs 24-48 hours before handling normal traffic loads.
We handle all permits and coordinate with local requirements. You don’t need to worry about compliance issues or inspection scheduling—that’s included in our service. We make the process as straightforward as possible for property owners.
