Hear From Our Clients
When your driveway is properly installed, you stop worrying about winter damage and spring repairs. You get smooth access to your property regardless of the season, enhanced curb appeal that adds real value to your home, and the confidence that comes from working with someone who’s been doing this right for over two decades.
Your neighbors will notice the difference. More importantly, you’ll feel the difference every time you pull into your driveway—knowing it was built to handle whatever French Mountain weather throws at it.
The right contractor makes this happen without the stress, surprises, or shortcuts that plague this industry.
We’ve been serving French Mountain and the surrounding region for over 25 years. This isn’t a franchise or a crew that moves from town to town.
The same owner who answers your call is the same person who shows up at your job site. We’ve been dealing with French Mountain’s unique soil conditions, drainage challenges, and brutal winter weather for over two decades.
You get straight answers, fair pricing, and work that’s done right the first time. No sales pitches, no corporate runaround—just honest communication from someone who’s built his reputation one driveway at a time in your community.
First, we assess your specific site conditions—drainage, soil type, and access requirements. French Mountain properties each have unique challenges, and we’ve seen them all.
Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems start if it’s done wrong. We compact in layers and ensure proper drainage to prevent the freeze-thaw damage that destroys driveways around here.
Then we install your new asphalt using materials specifically chosen for our climate. The timing matters—we don’t rush jobs or work in poor weather conditions that compromise quality.
Finally, we walk through the completed work with you, explain maintenance recommendations, and make sure you’re completely satisfied before we consider the job done.

Your driveway project includes everything needed for a lasting result. Professional excavation when required, proper base preparation, quality asphalt installation, and final grading for optimal drainage.
We also handle the details that other contractors skip—like ensuring proper transitions to existing pavement, addressing drainage issues before they become problems, and coordinating with any utility work that might be needed.
French Mountain’s terrain and weather patterns require specific approaches to excavation and foundation work. We adjust our methods based on your property’s unique conditions, soil composition, and drainage requirements.
When winter comes, we shift to foundation work, excavation projects, and land clearing—keeping our crew busy year-round and ensuring we’re always available for emergency repairs when you need us most.
Late spring through early fall gives us the optimal conditions for quality asphalt installation. We typically pave from May through September when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F.
French Mountain’s climate means we have a shorter paving season than southern regions, but this actually works in your favor. We’re not rushing through jobs trying to squeeze in work during marginal weather conditions.
Winter weather here is tough on asphalt, so proper timing during installation is crucial. We’d rather reschedule your project than compromise the quality by working in poor conditions.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in French Mountain typically lasts 20-30 years with appropriate maintenance. The key factors are quality installation, proper base preparation, and regular sealcoating every 3-5 years.
Our harsh freeze-thaw cycles are tough on pavement, but when the base is prepared correctly and quality materials are used, your driveway will handle the weather changes without major issues.
We’ve seen driveways we installed 20+ years ago still performing well because the foundation work was done right from the start. Shortcuts during installation always show up later, especially in our climate.
We provide emergency response capability year-round, even when paving season is over. While major asphalt work waits for proper weather, we can handle urgent repairs to keep your driveway safe and functional.
During winter months, we focus on excavation, foundation work, and land clearing projects. This keeps our crew local and available when emergency situations arise.
Emergency repairs might involve temporary patching, drainage fixes, or safety improvements to get you through until proper paving weather returns. We prioritize our existing customers for emergency service.
Proper drainage is critical in French Mountain due to our heavy snow loads and spring runoff. We evaluate your property’s natural water flow and grade your driveway accordingly.
This often involves installing proper crown in the driveway surface, ensuring water flows away from your foundation, and sometimes adding drainage systems where needed. Poor drainage leads to ice buildup, erosion, and premature pavement failure.
We’ve dealt with every type of drainage challenge in this area—from properties with high water tables to steep slopes that create runoff problems. Each solution is customized to your specific site conditions.
Our pricing is straightforward—no hidden costs, no surprise charges, and no high-pressure sales tactics. You get a clear explanation of what’s included and why it’s necessary.
We price jobs based on doing the work right, not on being the cheapest bid. Quality materials, proper base preparation, and experienced installation cost more upfront but save money long-term.
You’re dealing directly with the owner, not a salesperson working on commission. This means honest recommendations about what your project actually needs, not what generates the highest profit margin.
Yes, we provide ongoing maintenance services including sealcoating, crack repair, and seasonal maintenance recommendations. Proper maintenance extends your driveway’s life significantly in our climate.
We typically recommend sealcoating every 3-5 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. This protects against water penetration, UV damage, and the chemical effects of road salt used during winter.
Our maintenance approach focuses on preventing small problems from becoming major repairs. Regular inspections and timely maintenance work keep your driveway looking good and performing well for decades.
