Hear From Our Clients
You’re tired of watching your driveway crack and crumble every spring. Those freeze-thaw cycles that hit Burnt Hills hard don’t just damage pavement—they destroy your investment and create safety hazards for your family.
When we finish your driveway, you get a surface built to handle whatever New York weather throws at it. No more worrying about potholes forming or water pooling after storms. No more embarrassment when guests pull into a deteriorating driveway.
You’ll have a smooth, durable surface that actually enhances your property value instead of detracting from it. Most importantly, you’ll have peace of mind knowing it was installed right the first time by someone who’s been doing this for over 25 years.
We’ve been serving Burnt Hills and the surrounding Saratoga County area for over 25 years. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or corporate franchise—we’re your neighbors, and we’ve built our reputation one quality project at a time.
You’ll work directly with the owner from your first call to project completion. No sales reps, no middlemen, no runaround. When you have questions, you get straight answers from someone who actually knows the work.
We understand Burnt Hills’ unique challenges—from the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy poorly installed driveways to the drainage issues that plague this area’s terrain. That local knowledge makes all the difference in how your driveway performs year after year.
First, we assess your existing driveway and drainage situation. Many contractors skip this step, but we need to understand what caused problems before to prevent them from happening again. Poor drainage and inadequate base preparation are the main culprits behind premature driveway failure in this area.
Next, we prepare the base properly—something that separates quality work from cheap jobs. We excavate to the right depth, install proper gravel base material, and ensure everything drains away from your foundation. This foundation work determines whether your driveway lasts 10 years or 25 years.
Finally, we install the asphalt using proper techniques and quality materials. We compact everything correctly and finish with clean edges that look professional. The whole process typically takes one to two days depending on size, and you can use your new driveway immediately after completion.

Our driveway paving services include complete installations, resurfacing, and repairs. We handle everything from small residential driveways to larger commercial projects throughout Saratoga County. Every job gets the same attention to detail regardless of size.
In Burnt Hills specifically, we see a lot of drainage issues due to the area’s terrain and mature tree coverage. We address these problems as part of every installation, not as expensive add-ons later. Proper grading and drainage aren’t optional here—they’re essential for long-term performance.
We also provide seasonal services including winter foundation work and land clearing when asphalt installation isn’t practical. This year-round availability means you’re not stuck waiting months for repairs when problems develop. Emergency response capability is part of our service because we know driveway problems don’t wait for convenient timing.
Most residential driveway installations take one to two days from start to finish. The timeline depends on your driveway size, current condition, and any drainage work needed.
Day one typically involves excavation, base preparation, and grading. Day two is asphalt installation and finishing. Weather can affect timing—we won’t install asphalt in freezing conditions or during heavy rain because it compromises quality.
You can drive on your new driveway immediately after we finish. We schedule work to minimize disruption to your daily routine and always clean up completely before leaving.
Burnt Hills’ freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on poorly installed driveways. Water gets into cracks, freezes, expands, and makes those cracks bigger every winter. After a few seasons, small cracks become major problems.
The other big issue is inadequate base preparation. Many contractors cut corners here because customers can’t see the base after asphalt goes down. But skimping on base work guarantees premature failure—usually within 5-10 years instead of the 20+ years you should expect.
Poor drainage makes everything worse. Water that doesn’t drain properly sits on or under your driveway, accelerating damage. We address all these issues as standard practice, not expensive upgrades.
Drainage is critical in Burnt Hills due to the terrain and mature landscaping. We evaluate water flow patterns during our initial assessment and design proper grading into every installation.
This usually means adjusting the slope so water flows away from your foundation and toward appropriate drainage areas. Sometimes we need to install catch basins or drainage pipes, but often proper grading solves the problem without additional hardware.
We also seal the edges properly where your driveway meets existing surfaces. Poor edge sealing is a common source of water infiltration that leads to premature failure. These details matter more than most homeowners realize.
Asphalt installation requires temperatures above 50°F for proper compaction and curing. During Burnt Hills winters, we focus on foundation work, excavation, and land clearing instead of asphalt paving.
However, we do provide emergency repairs when absolutely necessary using specialized cold-weather materials. These aren’t permanent solutions, but they can address safety hazards until proper repairs are possible in spring.
The best time for driveway paving here is late spring through early fall. We recommend scheduling installations during these months for optimal results and longevity.
Every installation includes proper excavation, base preparation with quality gravel, professional-grade asphalt installation, and complete cleanup. We also handle any necessary permits and ensure proper drainage as part of the base service.
You get direct communication with the owner throughout the project, not a sales rep who disappears after signing. We explain what we’re doing and why, so you understand the value you’re getting.
Our pricing is transparent with no hidden fees or surprise charges. What we quote is what you pay, and we stand behind our work with honest warranties that reflect realistic expectations for this climate.
If more than 30% of your driveway surface shows significant cracking, settling, or pothole damage, replacement usually makes more financial sense than patching. Widespread alligator cracking is a clear sign the base has failed and repairs won’t last.
Age matters too. Driveways over 15-20 years old with multiple problem areas typically need replacement. Trying to repair an old driveway with structural issues is like putting bandages on a bigger problem.
During our assessment, we’ll give you honest advice about repair versus replacement. Sometimes a good resurfacing job can extend life significantly, but we won’t recommend expensive repairs that won’t hold up long-term.
