Your parking lot isn’t just pavement. It’s the first thing customers see, the surface that carries daily traffic, and a liability you can’t ignore.
When it’s done right, you get decades of reliable use. Smooth asphalt that handles Greenfield’s winters without cracking apart. Proper drainage that keeps water from pooling and eroding your base. Clear striping that guides traffic and meets ADA requirements.
When it’s done wrong, you’re looking at potholes within two years, standing water after every storm, and repair bills that add up fast. You might even face liability concerns if someone gets hurt on damaged pavement.
The difference comes down to base preparation, material quality, and whether your contractor knows how to handle the freeze-thaw cycles we deal with here. We’ve been doing this work in the Greenfield area for over 25 years, and we’ve seen what holds up and what doesn’t.
We’ve been serving Greenfield and the surrounding Saratoga County area for more than 25 years. We’re not a franchise or a rotating crew of subcontractors. You work directly with the owner from your first call through project completion.
That means you get straight answers about what your lot needs, honest pricing without the sales pitch, and someone who’s accountable when questions come up. We handle commercial and residential projects year-round, shifting to foundation and excavation work when temperatures drop and paving when conditions are right.
We’re based locally because this is where we live and work. We know the soil conditions around Greenfield, the weather patterns that stress asphalt, and the contractors who cut corners. Our reputation is built on doing the job right and being available when clients need us—including emergency response when urgent repairs can’t wait.
First, we assess your site. That means looking at the existing pavement condition, drainage patterns, soil stability, and traffic load your lot handles. If you’re dealing with an old lot, we determine whether you need full removal and replacement or if resurfacing will work.
Next comes base preparation. This is where most problems start if it’s done poorly. We excavate to the proper depth, grade for drainage, and compact a stable aggregate base. If your soil has issues or drainage is a concern, we address it now—not after asphalt is already down.
Then we install the asphalt. We use quality hot-mix asphalt at the right thickness for your traffic load. Commercial lots handling delivery trucks need more than lots with light car traffic. The asphalt goes down hot, gets compacted properly, and cures to create a durable surface.
Finally, we handle finishing work. That includes striping for parking spaces, ADA-compliant markings, and any curbing or transitions needed. We walk you through maintenance recommendations so you know when to sealcoat and how to extend your pavement’s lifespan.

Every parking lot paving project in Greenfield, NY comes with site-specific planning. We don’t use cookie-cutter approaches because your lot’s drainage, soil conditions, and traffic patterns are unique to your property.
You get proper base preparation designed to handle local freeze-thaw cycles. Greenfield winters are tough on asphalt, and water infiltration is the main enemy. Our base work includes grading for drainage and compacted aggregate that won’t shift or settle over time.
Material quality matters. We use hot-mix asphalt at the thickness your lot requires—typically 2.5 to 4 inches for commercial applications depending on expected vehicle loads. Thicker asphalt in high-traffic areas like truck bays prevents premature rutting and failure.
Striping and ADA compliance are included in our scope. Parking spaces, fire lanes, handicap zones, and directional arrows all need to meet local codes. We handle the layout and application so your lot is functional and compliant from day one.
You also get direct communication with the owner throughout the project. No project managers who disappear when you have questions. No subcontractors who weren’t part of the original conversation. Just straightforward updates and someone who’s accountable for the results.
Parking lot paving costs in Greenfield typically range from $3 to $7 per square foot for asphalt, depending on site conditions, lot size, and thickness requirements. A 10,000-square-foot lot might run $30,000 to $70,000, but that’s before factoring in your specific needs.
Several things affect your final price. If your existing lot needs full removal, that adds demolition and disposal costs. Poor drainage requires additional grading and base work. Heavy truck traffic means thicker asphalt. ADA upgrades, curbing, and extensive striping all add to the scope.
The lowest bid isn’t always the best value. Contractors who cut costs on base preparation or use thinner asphalt might quote lower, but you’ll pay more in repairs within a few years. We provide transparent estimates that break down what you’re getting and why it matters for long-term performance.
A properly installed asphalt parking lot in Greenfield should last 15 to 30 years with regular maintenance. The wide range depends on base quality, asphalt thickness, traffic load, and how well you maintain the surface.
Lots that get sealcoated every 3 to 5 years and have cracks filled promptly will reach the higher end of that range. Lots that are neglected—no sealcoating, cracks left open to water infiltration—might need replacement in 10 to 15 years or less.
Greenfield’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on asphalt. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and breaks the pavement apart. That’s why crack sealing and sealcoating are critical preventative steps. They’re far cheaper than repaving and can add years to your lot’s lifespan. We provide maintenance guidance after installation so you know what to watch for and when to take action.
Resurfacing means adding a new layer of asphalt over your existing pavement. It’s faster and less expensive than full replacement, typically costing $1 to $3 per square foot. Resurfacing works when your base is still solid but the surface has minor cracking, fading, or wear.
Full replacement involves removing the old asphalt, addressing base and drainage issues, and installing new pavement from the ground up. It costs more—$3 to $7 per square foot—but it’s necessary when your base has failed, when there’s extensive cracking or potholes, or when drainage problems are causing ongoing issues.
We assess your lot to determine which approach makes sense. If your pavement has isolated damage and the base is stable, resurfacing can give you another 10 to 15 years of use. If water is pooling, the surface is heavily cracked, or you’re seeing base failure, replacement is the smarter long-term investment. We’ll tell you what your lot actually needs, not just what generates a bigger invoice.
Yes. ADA compliance is part of every commercial parking lot project we handle in Greenfield, NY. That includes proper placement of handicap spaces, correct signage, accessible aisle widths, and compliant slopes for safe access.
The number of ADA spaces you need depends on your total parking count. Lots with 1 to 25 spaces require one accessible space. Lots with 26 to 50 spaces need two. The requirements scale up from there, and van-accessible spaces have different width requirements than standard accessible spaces.
Getting this wrong can result in fines and liability issues. We handle the layout and striping to meet current ADA standards, so your lot is compliant from the start. If you’re resurfacing an older lot that doesn’t meet current codes, we’ll walk you through what needs to change and why it matters for both legal compliance and customer access.
Late spring through early fall is ideal for asphalt paving in Greenfield, NY. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to cure properly—ideally above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, with dry conditions for several days after installation.
Summer offers the most predictable weather, but it’s also the busiest season for paving contractors. If you’re planning a project, reach out in early spring to get on the schedule. That gives you more flexibility on timing and ensures the work gets done before temperatures drop.
We don’t disappear in winter. When paving isn’t an option, we shift to excavation, foundation work, and land clearing projects. If you need emergency parking lot repairs during colder months, we can handle patching and temporary fixes to get you through until conditions allow for proper paving. Year-round availability means you’re not stuck waiting months when urgent issues come up.
Start by looking for contractors with verifiable local experience. Ask how long they’ve been operating in the Greenfield area, request references from recent commercial projects, and check whether they own their equipment or rent it. Contractors who own their equipment and source their own materials have better cost control and quality oversight.
Make sure they’re licensed, bonded, and insured. Don’t just take their word for it—ask to see documentation. Insurance protects you if someone gets injured on your property during the project. Bonding provides recourse if the contractor doesn’t complete the work as agreed.
Get detailed written estimates that break down the scope of work. Vague quotes that just list a total price don’t tell you what you’re actually getting. You want to see asphalt thickness, base preparation details, drainage work, striping, and any other services included. Compare those details across contractors, not just the bottom-line price.
Finally, pay attention to communication. Does the contractor answer your questions directly, or do you get vague responses? Are they willing to explain why they’re recommending certain approaches? You’re going to be working with this company for weeks or months, and you need someone who’s responsive and accountable. We’ve been doing this work for over 25 years because we show up, do what we say, and stay available when clients need you.
