Hear From Our Clients
Your new driveway becomes the kind of entrance that makes neighbors take notice. No more worrying about guests navigating around potholes or water pooling after every storm.
You’ll have a smooth, professional surface that handles everything upstate New York weather throws at it. Winter snow removal becomes simple instead of a battle against uneven gravel or cracked asphalt.
The real difference shows up when it’s time to sell. A quality driveway can add $5,000 to $20,000 to your property value while eliminating a major negotiation point that turns buyers away.
We’ve been handling driveways across the Starbuckville area for over 25 years. We’re the company homeowners call when they want the job done right without the runaround.
You work directly with the owner from your first call to project completion. No sales teams, no subcontractors you’ve never met, no surprises.
We understand how Warren County’s freeze-thaw cycles destroy pavement. That’s why we focus on proper preparation and materials that actually last in our climate instead of cutting corners to win bids.
First, we assess your existing driveway and drainage situation. Most problems start with poor water management, so we address that from the beginning.
Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This step determines whether your driveway lasts 5 years or 25 years. We don’t skip it to save time or money.
Then we install the asphalt using proper compaction techniques. The material is only as good as the installation, and we’ve been perfecting our process for over two decades.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk through everything with you. You’ll know exactly how to maintain your investment and when to call us for future service.

Every Morgan Construction driveway includes proper excavation, grading, and base preparation designed for Warren County’s soil conditions. We handle permits when needed and coordinate with utility companies if there are any conflicts.
Your project includes quality asphalt installation with proper edge work and compaction. We also address drainage issues that could undermine your new driveway down the road.
Starbuckville’s rural setting means many driveways connect to town roads or private lanes with specific requirements. We know the local standards and make sure your new driveway meets them without creating future headaches with the town or your neighbors.
Most residential driveways in Starbuckville take 1-2 days to complete once we start. The timeline depends on your driveway’s size, the condition of the existing surface, and any drainage work needed.
Weather plays a role too. We won’t install asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too cold, as this compromises the final result. We’d rather reschedule than deliver subpar work.
If your project requires extensive excavation or utility coordination, we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront. No surprises or delays because we didn’t plan properly.
Repairs make sense when less than 30% of your driveway needs work and the base is still solid. For a typical Starbuckville driveway, repairs might cost $800-$2,000 depending on the scope.
Full replacement typically runs $2,400-$4,800 for an average 600 square foot driveway, but you get 20-30 years of life instead of 3-5 years from patches. The math usually favors replacement when you factor in the ongoing repair costs.
We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest advice about what makes financial sense. Sometimes a repair buys you time to plan for replacement, and sometimes it’s just throwing money away.
We use asphalt mixes and installation techniques specifically designed for freeze-thaw cycles. This means proper thickness, appropriate aggregate, and installation timing that lets everything cure properly before winter hits.
Proper drainage is crucial here. Water that sits on or under your driveway will freeze, expand, and create cracks. We grade everything to shed water away from the surface and your foundation.
We also time our installations to give the asphalt adequate curing time before the first freeze. Installing too late in the season creates problems that show up the following spring.
Yes, we handle permit applications when your project requires them. Most residential driveway work in Starbuckville doesn’t need permits, but we know when they’re required and how to get them quickly.
If your driveway connects to a town road, we coordinate with the highway department to ensure proper drainage and avoid conflicts with town maintenance. This prevents problems later when they’re plowing or doing road work.
We also coordinate with utility companies if your project affects water, sewer, or electrical lines. Better to handle this upfront than discover a problem after we’ve started digging.
For the first year, just keep it clean and avoid parking heavy vehicles in the same spot repeatedly. New asphalt continues to cure and can be damaged by concentrated weight before it’s fully hardened.
After 2-3 years, sealcoating helps protect against water penetration and extends the life of your investment. We can handle this service or recommend quality products if you prefer to do it yourself.
Watch for small cracks and address them quickly. Small problems become big problems when water gets underneath and freezes. A $50 crack repair now prevents a $500 section replacement later.
You work directly with the owner who’s been doing this for 25 years, not a sales team that disappears after you sign. I’m on every job site and stand behind every project personally.
We focus on doing the job right instead of doing it cheap. That means proper excavation, quality materials, and installation techniques that actually work in our climate. You won’t need us back in two years for repairs.
Most importantly, we’re part of this community. Our reputation depends on satisfied customers who refer their neighbors, not on high-pressure sales tactics or the lowest bid. When you call, you get straight answers about what your project actually needs.
