Hear From Our Clients
You get asphalt that handles what Cleverdale throws at it. Proper drainage prevents frost heaving. Quality base preparation stops premature cracking. Materials chosen specifically for freeze-thaw cycles.
Most contractors rush the foundation work. We don’t. Your driveway gets the base depth and compaction needed to last 15-20 years, not the 5-8 years you see with budget installations.
The difference shows up in year three when your neighbors are calling for repairs and you’re still driving on smooth pavement.
We bring over 25 years of hands-on experience to every Cleverdale project. You work directly with the owner from first contact through final cleanup.
We’ve built our reputation one driveway at a time in this community. No third-party platforms. No commissioned sales teams. Just straightforward communication and honest pricing.
When winter hits hard or emergency repairs pop up, we respond. Because we live here too, and we understand what reliable service means to local property owners.
First, we assess your site and explain exactly what needs to happen. No surprises, no upselling. Just clear information about drainage, base requirements, and material choices.
Excavation and base preparation come next. We dig to proper depth and install the foundation materials that determine how long your asphalt will last. This phase takes time because it matters.
Paving happens quickly once prep work is complete. We use quality asphalt mix appropriate for local conditions and compact everything properly. You get a smooth, professional surface ready for traffic when we’re done.

Our asphalt services cover everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots. Each project gets proper site evaluation, quality materials, and installation techniques proven to handle Cleverdale’s climate.
Residential work includes drainage solutions that prevent water damage and attractive borders that complement your property. Commercial projects focus on durability under heavy traffic and compliance with local requirements.
We handle seasonal projects year-round, shifting to foundations and land clearing when weather prevents paving. Emergency response capability means you’re covered when unexpected damage occurs.
Properly installed asphalt driveways in Cleverdale typically last 15-20 years with basic maintenance. Commercial parking lots can last 20-25 years depending on traffic volume.
The key factors are proper base preparation, quality materials, and correct installation techniques. Cleverdale’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on pavement, but asphalt installed with adequate base depth and proper drainage handles our climate well.
Cheap installations might only last 5-8 years before major problems develop. That’s why we focus on doing the foundation work right the first time.
Asphalt repair works when you have isolated problems like small cracks, minor settling, or a few potholes, but the overall pavement structure is still sound. We can patch problem areas, seal cracks, and restore the surface for much less than replacement cost.
Replacement makes sense when more than 30% of the surface needs repairs, the pavement is over 15-20 years old, or the base has failed. At that point, starting fresh with proper excavation and new materials is more cost-effective.
We’ll assess your current situation honestly and explain which option makes the most sense for your property and budget.
Proper drainage starts with correct grading during the excavation phase. We slope the surface so water flows away from buildings and doesn’t pool anywhere on the pavement.
The base material is installed and compacted to maintain these drainage patterns. For problem areas, we install catch basins or French drains to handle water that can’t be managed by surface grading alone.
Poor drainage is the number one cause of premature asphalt failure in upstate New York. Standing water leads to base failure, frost heaving, and accelerated deterioration of the asphalt surface.
The process typically takes 2-3 days for most residential driveways, depending on size and complexity. Day one involves excavation and base preparation, which creates noise and dust but is necessary for long-term durability.
Day two covers final grading and base compaction. Paving happens on day three once everything is properly prepared. We coordinate with you on timing and access needs throughout the process.
You can drive on new asphalt after 2-3 days, but the full curing period is 20-30 days. We’ll explain proper care during this period to ensure your investment lasts.
Residential driveway costs typically range from $3-$6 per square foot, depending on size, access, and site conditions. Commercial projects often run $2.50-$5 per square foot for larger areas.
Factors affecting cost include excavation depth, base material requirements, drainage needs, and site access for equipment. We provide detailed estimates that break down each component so you understand what you’re paying for.
Quality materials and proper installation cost more upfront but save money over time through reduced repairs and longer lifespan. We focus on value, not just low prices.
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent asphalt repairs that affect safety or property access. This includes pothole repairs, crack sealing, and temporary patches to keep your property functional.
Emergency repairs help prevent small problems from becoming major damage during harsh weather. We respond quickly because we understand that asphalt problems don’t wait for convenient timing.
For non-emergency maintenance like sealcoating or minor crack repair, we schedule work during optimal weather conditions to ensure the best results and longest-lasting repairs.
