Most importantly, you get direct access to the owner who’s been doing this for over 25 years. No middlemen, no confusion about who’s responsible, and no wondering if the work will get done right.
We’ve been serving Country Knolls families since the neighborhood was establishing itself as one of New York’s premier family communities. We understand what it takes to build driveways that complement the area’s established homes and withstand the unique challenges of upstate New York weather.
We’re not the biggest paving company around, and that’s exactly why Country Knolls homeowners choose us. You work directly with the owner on every project—no layers of project managers or subcontractors who don’t know your name.
Our reputation in Country Knolls comes from doing what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it, for the price we quoted. After 25 years, that’s still how we operate.

Your driveway paving project includes proper site preparation, quality base materials, and professional-grade asphalt application. We handle permits, coordinate with local requirements, and ensure proper drainage to prevent water damage.
In Country Knolls, we pay special attention to integrating your new driveway with the neighborhood’s established aesthetic. Many homes here were built between 1970-1999, so we understand how to complement existing architecture while providing modern performance.
We also include detailed project documentation, clear cleanup, and a walkthrough to ensure you’re completely satisfied. You receive maintenance recommendations specific to our local climate conditions, helping your investment perform optimally through Country Knolls’ seasonal weather patterns.
Most residential driveways in Country Knolls take 2-3 days to complete, depending on size and site conditions. Day one involves excavation and base preparation. Day two focuses on asphalt installation and initial compaction.
We allow 24-48 hours for proper curing before you can drive on the surface. Weather conditions can affect timing—we don’t pour asphalt in rain or when temperatures drop below 50°F, ensuring optimal results for your investment.
We coordinate scheduling around your family’s routine and provide specific timelines during your consultation. Most Country Knolls homeowners appreciate that we stick to our committed schedule and communicate any necessary adjustments well in advance.
Proper base preparation is everything in our climate. Country Knolls experiences significant freeze-thaw cycles that can destroy poorly prepared driveways within a few seasons. We excavate to appropriate depth and install properly graded aggregate base material.
Quality asphalt mix and proper compaction are equally important. We use hot-mix asphalt designed for our temperature ranges and ensure proper density through professional rolling techniques. This prevents water infiltration that causes cracking and pothole formation.
Drainage management is crucial in our area. We grade your driveway to direct water away from the surface and your home’s foundation. Poor drainage is the fastest way to destroy even well-built pavement, so we address this during initial site preparation.
Driveway paving costs in Country Knolls typically range from $3-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions, access, and specific requirements. A standard two-car driveway usually runs $2,500-6,000 for complete replacement.
Factors affecting price include excavation requirements, base thickness needed for soil conditions, and any drainage improvements. Country Knolls properties with challenging access or significant grade changes require additional preparation work.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no high-pressure sales tactics. You’ll know exactly what your project costs before we start, and that price doesn’t change unless you request additional work.
Asphalt paving requires temperatures above 50°F for proper installation, so we typically pave from April through November in Country Knolls. Cold weather prevents asphalt from compacting properly and can lead to premature failure.
During winter months, we focus on excavation, foundation work, and project planning. This actually works well for many homeowners—we can handle site preparation during off-season months and complete paving when weather permits.
We maintain emergency response capability year-round for urgent repairs. If you have a drainage issue or safety concern, we can implement temporary solutions and schedule permanent repairs for appropriate weather conditions.
Yes, we handle all necessary permits for driveway work in Country Knolls and surrounding areas. We’re familiar with local requirements and maintain proper licensing for residential and commercial projects.
Most driveway replacements don’t require permits if we’re maintaining existing footprint and drainage patterns. However, expansions, drainage modifications, or work affecting public right-of-way typically need approval from local authorities.
We coordinate with town offices, handle paperwork, and ensure all work meets current codes. You don’t need to navigate bureaucracy—we take care of regulatory requirements so you can focus on enjoying your new driveway.
New asphalt driveways in Country Knolls should be sealcoated 12-18 months after installation, then every 2-3 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. This protects against UV damage and prevents water infiltration.
Regular cleaning helps extend driveway life. Remove leaves and debris that can stain surfaces or hold moisture. Address oil stains promptly—they soften asphalt and create weak spots that develop into larger problems.
Winter maintenance is crucial in our area. Use calcium-based ice melts rather than rock salt, which can damage asphalt surfaces. Proper snow removal without scraping metal tools against the surface helps maintain the pavement’s integrity through multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
