Hear From Our Clients
You get a driveway that actually lasts through upstate New York’s freeze-thaw cycles. No more dealing with cracks that let water seep underneath and damage your foundation. No more ice patches forming because water pools in low spots.
Your new asphalt driveway drains properly, flexes with ground movement instead of breaking apart, and maintains its appearance year after year. You’ll have direct access to the owner throughout the entire process, ensuring the job gets done right without surprises or excuses.
Most importantly, you won’t deal with the headaches that come from hiring the wrong contractor. No deposits required upfront, no corner-cutting on materials, and no disappearing acts after the work is supposedly finished.
We’ve been handling driveway paving and excavation work throughout Saratoga County for over 25 years. We understand exactly what it takes to build driveways that survive Elnora’s weather conditions.
As an owner-operated business, you get direct communication with the person responsible for your project from start to finish. We’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners on base preparation or use subpar materials, and we’ve built our reputation by doing the opposite.
Our roots in this community run deep. We know local soil conditions, drainage patterns, and permit requirements. When you hire us, you’re working with neighbors who will be here long after your project is complete.
First, we evaluate your property and discuss your specific needs. No high-pressure sales tactics, just an honest assessment of what your driveway project requires and what it will cost you.
Next comes proper site preparation, which is where many contractors cut corners. We handle excavation, grading for proper drainage, and creating a stable base that won’t shift or settle over time. This foundation work determines whether your driveway lasts 5 years or 25 years.
Then we install your asphalt using the right thickness and quality materials for our local conditions. We coordinate any necessary permits and inspections, keeping your project moving forward without bureaucratic delays. Finally, we complete thorough cleanup and final grading, leaving your property ready to use and looking better than when we started.
Ready to get started?
Your driveway paving project includes proper excavation, base preparation with quality materials, and professional asphalt installation using proven techniques. We handle all permit requirements specific to Elnora and Saratoga County, so you don’t have to navigate the paperwork.
We also address drainage planning to protect your foundation and prevent ice formation during winter months. This includes proper grading, edge protection, and runoff management that many contractors overlook. Our work accounts for Elnora’s specific soil conditions and weather patterns.
Emergency response capability means we’re available when you need repairs or have urgent drainage issues. We also provide seasonal services, shifting to foundation work and land clearing during winter months when paving isn’t practical. All work comes with transparent pricing and no upfront deposits required.
Most residential driveway projects take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and site conditions. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers asphalt installation and initial compaction.
Day three handles final grading, cleanup, and any detail work around edges or connections to existing surfaces. Weather can affect the timeline, especially if we encounter unexpected rain during base preparation or asphalt laying.
We provide realistic schedules upfront and keep you updated if conditions change. The goal is getting your driveway done right, not just done fast, so we won’t rush critical steps that affect long-term performance.
Proper base preparation is the most important factor for longevity in our climate. We excavate to the right depth and use quality aggregate materials that provide stable support through freeze-thaw cycles.
Drainage design is equally critical. Your driveway needs proper slope to move water away from the surface and prevent pooling. We also build up edges to protect against water infiltration that weakens the substructure over time.
Material selection matters too. We use appropriate asphalt grades with the right thickness for local conditions. Cheaper materials or insufficient thickness might save money initially, but they’ll cost much more in repairs and early replacement.
No, we never require upfront deposits. We’ve been in business for 25 years because we do quality work and maintain our reputation in this community.
You pay after the work is completed to your satisfaction. This protects you from contractors who take deposits and then disappear or provide substandard work. Our payment structure demonstrates confidence in our work quality.
We understand that requiring payment upfront creates unnecessary risk for homeowners. Our established business model allows us to cover material costs without putting that burden on our clients before they see results.
Drainage planning starts during the initial site evaluation. We assess your property’s natural water flow, soil conditions, and proximity to your home’s foundation to design proper runoff patterns.
During installation, we create the right slope to direct water away from your house and toward appropriate drainage areas. This includes building up edges to prevent water infiltration and addressing any low spots that could cause pooling.
If we discover drainage problems during excavation, we address them immediately rather than working around them. This might involve additional grading or drainage solutions, but it prevents much more expensive problems later on.
Permit requirements vary based on the scope of work and your property’s specific location within Saratoga County. Simple driveway replacement often doesn’t require permits, but projects involving significant grading or drainage work typically do.
We’re familiar with local requirements and handle permit applications when needed. This includes coordinating inspections and ensuring all work meets current codes and standards for our area.
We take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to navigate county offices or worry about compliance issues. It’s part of doing business properly and protecting your investment in the long term.
Asphalt paving requires specific temperature conditions, so we typically handle paving projects from spring through fall. However, we can do excavation and base preparation work during winter months when conditions allow.
During winter, we focus on foundation work, land clearing, and emergency repairs. If you have urgent drainage issues or damage that affects access to your property, we can provide temporary solutions until paving weather returns.
We recommend planning paving projects for warmer months, but we’re available year-round for other services. Our seasonal approach ensures you get the best possible results when conditions are optimal for each type of work.
