The right contractor understands Batchellerville’s clay pockets and rocky sections. We know how to prep the base so your investment lasts 20+ years instead of needing major repairs in five.
Morgan Construction has been handling paving projects in Batchellerville and throughout Saratoga County for over 25 years. The owner stays involved from your first call through project completion.
We’re not a crew that shows up, does the work, and disappears. You’re working with people who live here and understand how Batchellerville’s soil behaves – from the clay areas that hold water to the rocky sections that need special handling.
We know the seasonal timing that works best and the requirements that can trip up projects. When you need emergency repairs or have questions months later, you’re calling someone who has a reputation to maintain in this community.
Every project starts with a site visit to assess your specific conditions. You get a detailed estimate covering excavation, base preparation, paving, and striping so there are no surprises.
The work begins with proper site preparation – removing old pavement if needed, addressing drainage issues, and creating the stable base your parking lot needs. This foundation work determines whether your pavement lasts five years or twenty-five years.
Once the base is properly compacted and graded, hot asphalt gets applied in the right thickness for your traffic load. The surface is smoothed and compacted while hot, then allowed to cure properly before striping and reopening to traffic.

You get everything needed for a complete parking lot – from initial excavation through final striping. This includes proper base preparation, quality asphalt installation, drainage solutions, and professional line painting.
Batchellerville properties benefit from contractors who understand local soil conditions. The clay pockets common in this area require different handling than sandy soils. Rocky sections need special excavation techniques to achieve proper grades without compromising the base.
Local experience also means understanding seasonal considerations. Winter projects focus on foundation and site work when asphalt plants are closed. Spring and fall offer ideal paving conditions, while summer heat requires adjusted timing to ensure proper compaction and curing.
Parking lot paving typically costs $3 to $6 per square foot in the Batchellerville area, depending on site conditions and project complexity. A 50-space lot averages 15,000 square feet and runs $45,000 to $90,000 for complete installation.
Your actual cost depends on factors like existing pavement removal, drainage requirements, and base preparation needs. Batchellerville’s clay soils sometimes require additional base work compared to areas with better-draining soils.
The investment pays off through decades of reliable service when done properly. Quality installation with proper base preparation lasts 20-25 years with basic maintenance, while cheap installations often need major repairs within 5-7 years.
Most parking lot paving projects in Batchellerville take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. A typical business parking lot can be excavated, prepped, paved, and striped within a week if weather cooperates.
The timeline includes one day for excavation and base preparation, one day for asphalt installation, and time for curing before striping. Larger projects or those requiring extensive drainage work take longer.
Weather affects timing significantly in our area. Spring and fall offer the most predictable conditions, while summer heat requires early morning paving to ensure proper compaction. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed of any weather-related adjustments.
Asphalt overlay involves applying new asphalt over existing pavement that’s structurally sound but surface-worn. Complete replacement removes everything down to the base and rebuilds from scratch.
Overlay works when your existing pavement has minor cracking and surface wear but no major structural issues like potholes or base failure. It costs roughly half of complete replacement and extends pavement life by 10-15 years.
Complete replacement is necessary when the existing pavement has failed – extensive cracking, potholes, or base problems. While more expensive upfront, it provides a fresh 20-25 year lifespan and allows for drainage improvements and proper base preparation for current traffic loads.
Batchellerville’s soil varies significantly – from clay pockets that hold water to rocky sections requiring special excavation. We understand these conditions and adjust our approach accordingly.
Clay soils become unworkable when wet but provide excellent stability when properly compacted and drained. Projects in clay areas often require additional drainage measures and careful timing around weather conditions.
Rocky areas may need special excavation techniques or additional base material to achieve proper grades. We identify these conditions during site assessment and factor them into project planning and pricing rather than treating them as unexpected extras.
New parking lots need minimal maintenance for the first few years, then regular attention to maximize lifespan. The key is addressing small issues before they become major problems.
Sealcoating every 3-4 years protects the surface from weather, oil stains, and minor cracking. Crack sealing prevents water infiltration that can damage the base. Line striping may need refreshing every few years depending on traffic.
Proper maintenance extends parking lot life from 15-20 years to 25+ years. The investment in regular upkeep costs far less than premature replacement and maintains your property’s professional appearance throughout its lifespan.
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent parking lot issues that create safety hazards or business disruption. This includes pothole repairs, temporary patching, and addressing drainage problems.
Emergency repairs focus on making the area safe and functional while planning permanent solutions. Temporary patches can handle immediate safety concerns, but proper repairs typically wait for suitable weather and material availability.
Being a local contractor means faster response times when emergencies arise. You’re not waiting for crews to travel from distant locations or trying to explain your situation to unfamiliar contractors who don’t understand local conditions.
