You know what happens when customers pull into a smooth, well-maintained parking lot. They notice. They feel confident about your business before they even walk through the door.
That confidence translates to real results. Better first impressions. Fewer liability concerns. Higher property values when it’s time to sell or lease. And most importantly—a parking lot that actually handles daily traffic without constant emergency repairs eating into your budget.
A properly installed asphalt lot gives you 20+ years of reliable service with basic maintenance. Compare that to patching potholes every few months and you’ll see why getting it done right matters more than getting it done cheap.
We’ve been handling paving, excavation, and foundation work across the Saratoga region since day one. We’re the contractor local businesses call when they need the job done right—not the cheapest bid that turns into a headache.
You work directly with the owner from estimate to completion. No sales reps, no middlemen, no surprises. Just straightforward communication about what your project needs and what it’ll cost.
The farming families and manufacturers around Bacon Hill understand the value of quality work that lasts. That’s exactly what we deliver—whether you’re paving a small business lot or a larger commercial facility.
We start with a site visit to assess your current conditions and discuss exactly what you need. Every property is different, so we look at drainage, soil conditions, traffic patterns, and any specific requirements for your business.
Next comes site preparation—the foundation that determines how long your pavement lasts. We handle proper grading, base installation, and drainage to prevent the water damage that destroys most parking lots within a few years.
The paving itself moves quickly once prep work is complete. We use quality asphalt materials and proven installation methods that work in upstate New York weather. Most lots are ready for light traffic within 24-48 hours, with full curing complete in about a week.

Your parking lot paving includes complete site preparation, quality asphalt installation, and proper drainage design. We handle permits, coordinate with local requirements, and ensure ADA compliance where needed.
The asphalt we install is designed for commercial traffic and New York weather conditions. That means freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and the kind of daily use that wears out inferior installations within a few years.
In Bacon Hill’s agricultural and light industrial environment, your lot needs to handle everything from customer cars to delivery trucks. Our installation methods account for that mixed traffic, giving you a surface that performs reliably regardless of what rolls across it. You also get clear striping, proper drainage, and a surface that’s ready for regular maintenance to maximize its lifespan.
Parking lot paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot for asphalt, depending on site conditions and project size. A standard small business lot might cost $15,000-30,000, while larger commercial facilities can range from $50,000-100,000 or more.
The total depends on factors like site preparation needs, drainage requirements, and any special features like handicap accessibility or heavy-duty areas for truck traffic. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for—no hidden costs or surprise charges after work begins.
Most businesses find asphalt gives them the best value compared to concrete, especially when you factor in faster installation and easier repairs down the road.
A properly installed asphalt parking lot lasts 20-25 years with regular maintenance in our climate. The key is quality installation and staying on top of basic upkeep like sealcoating every 3-4 years and addressing cracks before they become bigger problems.
New York’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on pavement, but asphalt handles temperature changes better than concrete. The flexibility prevents cracking, and when repairs are needed, they’re usually straightforward and affordable.
Poor installation or deferred maintenance can cut that lifespan in half. That’s why getting it done right the first time matters more than saving a few thousand upfront—you’ll spend far more on emergency repairs and early replacement if corners are cut during installation.
Late spring through early fall gives you the best conditions for asphalt paving in our area. The ideal temperature range is 50-85 degrees with dry weather for proper curing.
We can handle projects outside that window if your timeline requires it, but spring and summer installations typically cure faster and perform better long-term. If you’re planning a project, getting on the schedule early ensures you get your preferred timing.
Emergency repairs can be done almost year-round with proper techniques, but full lot installations work best when weather cooperates. Planning ahead also gives us time to handle permits and coordinate any site prep work without rushing.
Most commercial parking lot projects require permits through your local building department. The requirements depend on project size, drainage changes, and whether you’re modifying existing layouts or creating new access points.
We handle permit applications as part of our service, since we understand local requirements and what documentation is needed. This saves you time and ensures everything meets code requirements from the start.
ADA compliance is also required for commercial lots, with specific rules about handicap spaces, slopes, and accessibility routes. We make sure your project meets all federal and local accessibility standards to avoid compliance issues later.
You can typically allow light car traffic after 24-48 hours, with full use available within a week. The exact timing depends on weather conditions, asphalt thickness, and traffic load requirements.
We’ll give you specific guidelines based on your project, including when to allow different types of vehicles and any restrictions during the initial curing period. Following these recommendations ensures the pavement reaches full strength and performs as designed.
Heavy trucks or equipment should wait the full curing period to avoid surface damage. If you have delivery schedules or special requirements, we can coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your business operations.
Regular sealcoating every 3-4 years is the most important maintenance task. This protects against UV damage, water penetration, and chemical spills while keeping the surface looking professional.
Crack sealing should be done promptly when small cracks appear—usually within the first 5-7 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. Addressing cracks early prevents water infiltration that leads to bigger structural problems.
Basic maintenance like snow removal, debris clearing, and occasional power washing keeps your lot looking good and functioning properly. We can provide a maintenance schedule tailored to your specific lot and usage patterns to help you get maximum lifespan from your investment.
