Hear From Our Clients
You drive up to a smooth, properly graded surface that drains water away from your foundation instead of pooling against it. No more dodging potholes or worrying about guests scraping their cars on uneven pavement.
Your driveway becomes an asset, not a liability. Property value goes up, maintenance headaches go down. You get years of reliable performance because we use the right materials and proven techniques that work in New York’s freeze-thaw cycles.
The best part? You deal directly with the owner from your first call to final inspection. No middlemen, no confusion—just clear communication about what needs to happen and when.
We’ve been serving Bacon Hill and the surrounding region for over 25 years. The owner handles every project personally, which means you get straight answers and quality work without the runaround.
This isn’t some fly-by-night operation. We have deep roots in the community and built our reputation one driveway at a time. Local families know they can count on honest pricing, reliable service, and emergency response when they need it most.
Whether it’s a new installation or fixing damage from last winter’s freeze-thaw cycle, our focus stays the same: do it right, communicate clearly, and stand behind the work.
First, the owner comes out to assess your situation. No sales pitch—just an honest evaluation of what you’re dealing with and what it’ll take to fix it properly. You get a clear explanation of the process and transparent pricing upfront.
Next comes proper site preparation. This means excavation to the right depth, grading for proper drainage, and installing a solid base that can handle heavy loads and weather extremes. We don’t cut corners here because this foundation determines how long your driveway lasts.
Finally, quality asphalt gets installed using proven techniques. The material is compacted correctly, edges are finished clean, and you get specific instructions for curing and maintenance. The owner stays involved through completion to ensure everything meets our standards.

Every Morgan Construction driveway project includes proper excavation, base preparation, grading for drainage, and quality asphalt installation. You also get sealcoating recommendations to protect your investment from water infiltration and UV damage.
In Bacon Hill’s agricultural community, driveways need to handle everything from daily commutes to farm equipment and delivery trucks. We understand these local demands and size materials accordingly. The work is designed to last through New York’s harsh winters and heavy spring thaws.
Our emergency response capability means you’re not stuck waiting months for repairs when winter damage appears. The same owner who installed your driveway handles any issues that come up, maintaining the relationship and quality standards you expect.
Most residential driveway installations take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two focuses on grading and asphalt installation.
Weather plays a big role in timing. We won’t rush a job just to meet a schedule if conditions aren’t right for proper curing. You get a realistic timeline upfront and updates if anything changes.
The owner coordinates everything personally, so you’re not dealing with multiple subcontractors or wondering who’s responsible for what. This direct management keeps projects on track and ensures quality at every step.
Bacon Hill’s location in the Hudson Valley means your driveway faces serious freeze-thaw cycles that can destroy inferior work within a few years. Water gets into cracks, freezes, expands, and tears apart pavement that wasn’t installed properly.
Proper drainage becomes critical here. Water that pools against your foundation or sits on the driveway surface will cause expensive problems. We grade every installation to direct water away from structures and prevent ice formation in low spots.
The base preparation has to be deeper and more substantial than in milder climates. Shortcuts in excavation or base material lead to settling, cracking, and early failure when winter hits. This is why experience with local conditions matters so much.
Small cracks under 1/8 inch are usually manageable with proper sealcoating and crack filling. But if you’re seeing multiple large cracks, potholes, or areas where the surface has settled unevenly, replacement often makes more financial sense.
Drainage problems are a red flag. If water pools on your driveway or runs toward your foundation instead of away from it, the underlying issues need professional attention. Patching surface problems won’t solve grading or base failures.
We provide honest assessments about repair versus replacement. Sometimes a simple resurfacing job can add years of life to a structurally sound driveway. Other times, trying to patch major problems just wastes money.
Late spring through early fall gives the best conditions for asphalt installation in New York. The material needs consistent temperatures above 50°F to cure properly and achieve maximum durability. May through September typically provides the most reliable weather windows.
However, emergency repairs can’t always wait for perfect conditions. We have the experience and equipment to handle urgent situations even when the weather isn’t ideal. The key is using appropriate techniques for the conditions.
Planning ahead gives you the best results and scheduling flexibility. Winter damage assessment in early spring allows time to schedule work during optimal conditions rather than rushing repairs when problems become critical.
Costs vary based on size, site conditions, and materials, but transparency is guaranteed from the start. We provide detailed estimates that break down excavation, base preparation, materials, and labor so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Factors that affect pricing include existing driveway removal, drainage improvements, base depth requirements, and access challenges. Properties with difficult access or extensive excavation needs cost more, but you’ll know this upfront.
The cheapest bid often becomes the most expensive mistake when contractors cut corners on base preparation or use inferior materials. We focus on competitive pricing for quality work that lasts, not rock-bottom estimates that lead to early failures.
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent driveway problems that affect safety or property access. Winter storm damage, washouts from heavy rains, or sudden structural failures get priority scheduling.
Emergency repairs focus on restoring safe access quickly while planning permanent solutions. Sometimes temporary fixes are necessary to get through immediate problems, with comprehensive repairs scheduled for better weather conditions.
The same owner who handles regular installations manages emergency calls, so you get consistent quality and service. There’s no handoff to different crews or confusion about who’s responsible for follow-up work.
