Hear From Our Clients
Your driveway or parking lot needs to handle what Saratoga throws at it. Harsh winters, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy snow loads that would destroy inferior work.
You get asphalt that’s built right the first time. Proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation methods that account for local soil conditions and climate challenges. No shortcuts, no surprises—just surfaces that perform year after year.
When the job’s done, you’ll have pavement that enhances your property value while standing up to everything from delivery trucks to snowplows. That’s the difference between getting it done and getting it done right.
We’ve been serving Saratoga for over 25 years as an owner-operated business. You work directly with the owner from first contact to project completion—no middlemen, no miscommunication.
We understand Saratoga’s unique demands. From the historic Victorian homes near Congress Park to modern developments, we’ve adapted our methods to work with local soil conditions, seasonal challenges, and architectural requirements. Our reputation was built through word of mouth and community trust, one project at a time.
You get transparent pricing, detailed documentation, and full insurance coverage on every job. We’ve grown because we do what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it, for the price we quoted.
We start with a free on-site evaluation where you talk directly with the owner. No sales pitches—just an honest assessment of what your project needs and what it’ll cost.
Site preparation comes next. We handle excavation, grading, and base work to ensure proper drainage and stability. This foundation work is critical for long-term performance, especially with Saratoga’s freeze-thaw conditions.
Installation happens when conditions are right. We use quality hot-mix asphalt, proper compaction techniques, and proven methods that account for local weather patterns. The owner stays involved throughout to ensure everything meets our standards.

We provide comprehensive asphalt services including new installations, resurfacing, and repairs for both residential and commercial properties. We handle driveways, parking lots, private roads, and access drives with the same attention to detail.
Our excavation capabilities mean we can handle complete site packages—from initial clearing and grading through final paving. This integrated approach saves you time and ensures all phases work together properly.
In Saratoga’s climate, timing matters. We provide year-round service availability, shifting focus to foundation work and land clearing during winter months when paving conditions aren’t optimal. Emergency response capability means we’re available when urgent repairs can’t wait.
Late spring through early fall offers the most stable conditions for asphalt paving in Saratoga. We need temperatures consistently above 50°F and dry conditions for proper installation and curing.
Summer provides ideal conditions with warm temperatures that help asphalt compact properly and cure quickly. However, we can work effectively in spring and fall when weather cooperates. Winter paving is generally avoided due to freezing conditions that prevent proper compaction and can lead to premature failure.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and will reschedule if conditions aren’t right. It’s better to wait for proper conditions than rush a job that won’t perform as expected.
A properly installed asphalt surface in Saratoga typically lasts 15-25 years with appropriate maintenance. The key factors are quality installation, proper drainage, and regular maintenance including sealcoating every 2-3 years.
Saratoga’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on pavement. Water that gets into small cracks expands when it freezes, creating larger cracks and eventual failure. That’s why we focus heavily on proper base preparation and drainage during installation.
Regular maintenance extends lifespan significantly. Sealcoating protects against water infiltration and UV damage, while prompt crack repair prevents small issues from becoming major problems. Customers who stay on top of maintenance often get 20+ years from their pavement.
Residential driveways typically run $4-8 per square foot installed, while commercial parking lots range $3-7 per square foot due to economies of scale. The total cost depends on size, site conditions, thickness requirements, and access factors.
A typical residential driveway project in Saratoga runs $4,000-8,000 depending on size and complexity. Factors that increase cost include poor drainage requiring correction, removal of existing pavement, difficult access for equipment, or thicker asphalt needed for heavy vehicles.
We provide detailed written estimates with no hidden costs. The price we quote is the price you pay, and we explain exactly what’s included so you can make an informed decision about your investment.
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent asphalt repairs that can’t wait for ideal weather conditions. Winter damage from plowing, freeze-thaw cycles, or structural issues sometimes requires immediate attention for safety reasons.
Emergency repairs focus on making surfaces safe and preventing further damage until proper restoration can be completed in better conditions. This might include temporary patching, crack sealing, or structural stabilization depending on the situation.
We also handle comprehensive spring restoration projects to address winter damage systematically. This typically includes crack repair, pothole patching, sealcoating, and sometimes full resurfacing depending on the extent of damage accumulated over the winter months.
Proper site preparation is critical for long-term pavement performance, especially in Saratoga’s challenging climate. We start with excavation to proper depth, typically 8-12 inches depending on soil conditions and expected traffic loads.
Base preparation includes installing and compacting crushed stone or gravel to create a stable, well-draining foundation. Poor drainage is the enemy of asphalt pavement, so we ensure water moves away from the surface rather than pooling underneath where it can cause frost heaving and structural failure.
Grading ensures proper slope for water runoff while meeting local requirements and connecting smoothly to existing surfaces. We handle all excavation and site work in-house, so the entire process is coordinated properly from start to finish.
Absolutely. We handle everything from residential driveways to large commercial parking lots with the same attention to quality and detail. Commercial projects typically require thicker asphalt, heavier base preparation, and more complex drainage systems due to higher traffic loads.
Our experience includes shopping centers, office complexes, industrial facilities, and municipal projects throughout the Saratoga area. We understand the different requirements for commercial work including ADA compliance, proper striping layout, and coordination with other trades.
Whether it’s a single-car driveway or a 50,000 square foot parking lot, the owner stays involved throughout the project to ensure it meets our standards. We scale our approach to match the project size while maintaining the same commitment to quality workmanship and customer service.
