You’re tired of dealing with the same cracks and potholes every spring. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on asphalt, and you need someone who actually understands what works here.
When your asphalt is installed correctly with proper drainage and the right materials, you stop worrying about water damage, foundation issues, and constant repairs. Your driveway becomes an asset that adds value to your property instead of a headache that drains your wallet.
That’s what proper asphalt work delivers—peace of mind, curb appeal, and surfaces that handle whatever weather throws at them.
We’ve been handling asphalt, paving, excavation, and foundation work across Mannings Cove and the surrounding region for over 25 years. We’re owner-operated, which means you deal directly with the person making the decisions.
We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in Long Island’s climate. The soil conditions, the drainage challenges, the way winter affects different materials—we know this area inside and out because we’ve been working here for decades.
You get honest pricing, straight answers, and work that’s built to last. No sales pitches, no surprises, just professional results from people who understand your local conditions.
First, we assess your site conditions—drainage, soil stability, and existing surface issues. This tells us exactly what prep work is needed and what materials will work best for your specific situation.
Next comes the foundation work. We excavate to the proper depth, install the right base materials, and ensure proper grading for water drainage. This step determines how long your asphalt will last, so we don’t cut corners.
Finally, we install the asphalt using the right thickness for your traffic load and compact it properly. The owner oversees every step, and we don’t consider the job complete until you’re satisfied with the results.

Our asphalt services cover everything from residential driveways to commercial parking lots. We handle new installations, repairs, resurfacing, and emergency response when you need it most.
In Mannings Cove, we understand the specific challenges of Nassau County’s clay soils and how they affect drainage. We also know how the proximity to Long Island Sound impacts freeze-thaw cycles and what that means for asphalt longevity.
During winter months, we shift focus to excavation and foundation work, so we’re available year-round. Whether you need emergency pothole repair or a complete driveway replacement, we have the equipment and experience to handle it properly.
Properly installed asphalt in Long Island typically lasts 15-25 years, depending on traffic load and maintenance. The key is proper installation with adequate base preparation and drainage.
Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on any paving material. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and creates bigger problems. That’s why we focus heavily on proper grading and drainage during installation—preventing water infiltration is crucial for longevity.
Regular maintenance like sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair can extend the life significantly. We’ve seen well-maintained driveways from the 1990s that still look and perform great.
Late spring through early fall is optimal for asphalt paving in our area. We need consistent temperatures between 65-75°F for proper curing and compaction.
You can’t pave in the rain or when ground temperatures are too cold. The asphalt won’t bond properly, and you’ll have problems within the first year. We also avoid extremely hot summer days when the material becomes difficult to work with.
We plan most paving projects between May and September. Emergency repairs can sometimes be done outside this window using specialized techniques, but new installations really need proper weather conditions to ensure quality results.
Asphalt paving costs typically range from $6-12 per square foot installed in our area, but every project is different. Size, site conditions, thickness requirements, and prep work all affect the final price.
A standard residential driveway usually runs between $4,000-$8,000 total, including proper base preparation. Commercial projects or areas requiring extensive excavation and drainage work will cost more per square foot.
We provide detailed, written estimates that break down material and labor costs. No surprises, no hidden fees. The price we quote is what you pay, and we stand behind our work with a clear warranty.
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent repairs year-round. Potholes and major damage can’t always wait for perfect weather, especially when they create safety hazards.
Winter repairs use different techniques and materials than summer installations. We use cold-patch asphalt and specialized compaction methods that work in lower temperatures. These repairs are temporary solutions to get you through until permanent work can be done in warmer weather.
For true emergencies—like a pothole blocking your driveway or creating a safety issue—we typically respond within 24-48 hours. Having 25+ years of experience means we know how to handle urgent situations safely and effectively.
We’re owner-operated, so you deal directly with the person making decisions on your project. No middlemen, no miscommunication, no wondering who’s actually responsible for the work.
We’ve been working in this specific area for over 25 years. We know the soil conditions, the drainage challenges, and how different materials perform in Long Island’s climate. That local knowledge makes a huge difference in how long your asphalt lasts.
We also don’t disappear after the job is done. We’re part of this community, and our reputation depends on standing behind our work. If there’s ever an issue, you know exactly who to call and you’ll get a straight answer about how to fix it.
Absolutely. Drainage issues are one of the biggest causes of premature asphalt failure, and we handle excavation and foundation work in addition to paving.
Poor drainage accelerates freeze-thaw damage and can undermine your asphalt’s foundation. We’ll assess the water flow patterns around your property and design solutions that redirect water away from your paved surfaces.
Sometimes this means installing French drains, adjusting grades, or rebuilding sections with proper base materials. We handle the complete project—excavation, drainage installation, and new asphalt—so everything works together properly. It’s more comprehensive than just patching the surface problems.
