Hear From Our Clients
You pull into your driveway without dodging potholes or worrying about scraping your car. No more water pooling after every storm or watching cracks spread like spider webs across your asphalt.
Your neighbors notice the smooth, professional finish. Your property value reflects the quality investment you made. Most importantly, you’re done dealing with the headaches that come with a failing driveway.
That’s what happens when you choose experienced paving contractors who understand Halfmoon’s freeze-thaw cycles and know how to build driveways that stand up to them.
We’ve been solving driveway problems in Halfmoon since before most paving companies even existed. We know this area—from the sandy soils near the Hudson River to the challenging drainage issues that come with our local terrain.
You’re not getting a crew that shows up, slaps down some asphalt, and disappears. You’re getting owner-operated service where Mike Morgan personally oversees your project from start to finish.
We’ve built our reputation one driveway at a time through word of mouth and satisfied customers who know the difference between a quick fix and quality work that lasts decades.
First, we assess your existing driveway and drainage situation. Every Halfmoon property is different, and we need to understand what we’re working with before we start tearing anything up.
Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s the foundation of everything. We remove the old material, grade for proper drainage, and install a solid stone base that won’t shift when the ground freezes.
Finally, we install the asphalt using the right thickness for your specific needs and local conditions. No rushing, no shortcuts—just professional installation that’s designed to handle whatever Halfmoon’s weather throws at it.

Halfmoon’s location means dealing with freeze-thaw cycles that can destroy poorly installed driveways within a few seasons. We use proven methods and quality materials that expand and contract without cracking, keeping your driveway intact through temperature swings from -10°F to 90°F.
You also get direct communication with the owner throughout the process, transparent pricing with no surprise charges, and the peace of mind that comes with hiring a contractor who’s been serving this community for over two decades.
Driveway paving costs in Halfmoon typically range from $4 to $7 per square foot for residential projects, depending on your specific situation. A standard two-car driveway usually runs between $4,500 and $8,000 total.
The final price depends on factors like your current driveway condition, drainage needs, and the thickness of asphalt required. Properties with poor drainage or unstable soil need more extensive preparation work, which affects the total cost.
We provide transparent estimates with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
The optimal paving season in Halfmoon runs from late April through October, when temperatures consistently stay above 50°F. Asphalt needs warm weather to properly compact and cure—cold temperatures compromise the installation quality and long-term durability.
Spring and early fall are often the best times because you avoid the summer heat that can make asphalt too soft to work with properly. We typically see the highest demand in late spring when homeowners want to address winter damage.
If you’re planning a driveway project, scheduling during the ideal weather window ensures the best results and helps your new pavement last longer.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Halfmoon should last 15 to 25 years with regular maintenance. The key factors are quality installation, proper drainage, and periodic sealcoating every 3-5 years.
Halfmoon’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on pavement, but driveways built with the right base preparation and asphalt thickness handle these conditions well. Cheap installations might start showing problems within 5-7 years, while quality work can exceed 25 years.
Regular maintenance like crack sealing and sealcoating significantly extends driveway life by preventing water infiltration that leads to freeze-thaw damage.
Freeze-thaw cycles are the biggest threat to driveways in Halfmoon. Water gets into small cracks, freezes and expands, then melts and seeps deeper—repeating this cycle dozens of times each winter until small cracks become major problems.
Poor drainage makes the problem worse by allowing water to pool on or under the pavement. Without proper base preparation and drainage solutions, even new driveways can start failing within a few seasons.
The solution is proper installation from the start: adequate base preparation, correct asphalt thickness, proper drainage, and regular maintenance to seal cracks before they become major issues.
We handle both repairs and complete driveway replacement, depending on your specific situation. Minor crack sealing and pothole repairs can extend your driveway’s life, while severely damaged driveways need full replacement for the best long-term value.
Our assessment process determines whether repair or replacement makes the most financial sense. Sometimes a $500 repair job can buy you several more years, while other times continuing to patch a failing driveway just wastes money.
We’ll give you an honest evaluation of your options and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your situation and budget.
The most important maintenance step is sealcoating every 3-5 years to prevent water infiltration. This protective layer keeps moisture from getting into small cracks where it can freeze and cause damage.
Address any cracks immediately—even hairline cracks can become major problems after a single winter of freeze-thaw cycles. Keep your driveway clean of debris that can trap moisture, and ensure proper drainage around the edges.
Avoid using rock salt for ice removal, as it can accelerate freeze-thaw damage. Sand or calcium-based deicers are safer alternatives that won’t compromise your asphalt over time.
