Hear From Our Clients
Your parking lot is the first thing customers see when they arrive at your business. A professionally paved surface sends the right message about your company’s attention to quality and detail.
Smooth, well-maintained asphalt eliminates safety hazards that could lead to accidents or liability issues. Your customers and employees can navigate your property confidently, knowing the surface is designed to handle daily traffic and weather extremes.
With proper installation, you’re looking at years of reliable performance. That means fewer disruptions to your business operations and more predictable maintenance costs over time.
We’ve been serving Stillwater and the surrounding Saratoga County area for over 25 years. As an owner-operated company, you work directly with the decision-maker on every project.
We understand Stillwater’s unique challenges. From the harsh winters that can crack inferior asphalt to the summer heat that tests pavement durability, we’ve seen it all. Our approach accounts for local soil conditions, drainage patterns, and the specific demands of your property.
You get straightforward communication throughout the process. No surprises, no runaround—just honest updates on timeline, progress, and any issues that need attention.
We start with a site assessment to understand your specific needs and any drainage or traffic flow considerations. This helps us determine the right base preparation and asphalt thickness for your situation.
Site preparation comes next. We excavate to the proper depth, install and compact the base material, and ensure proper grading for water runoff. This foundation work is critical—shortcuts here lead to problems later.
The asphalt installation happens when conditions are right. We coordinate delivery, lay the material to specification, and complete the compaction process. Final details like striping and cleanup follow once the surface has properly cured.

Our parking lot paving service includes everything needed for a complete installation. Base preparation, proper grading, quality asphalt application, and final compaction are all handled by our experienced crew.
Stillwater’s location in Saratoga County means dealing with significant temperature swings throughout the year. We use materials and techniques proven to handle these conditions. The asphalt mix we specify accounts for local climate factors and expected traffic loads.
Drainage is particularly important in this area. Poor water management leads to premature pavement failure, especially during freeze-thaw cycles. We design proper slopes and consider existing site conditions to keep water moving where it should go.
Most parking lot projects take 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Weather plays a role—we need dry conditions and appropriate temperatures for proper asphalt curing.
The timeline includes site preparation, base work, asphalt installation, and final details. We’ll give you a realistic schedule upfront and keep you updated if conditions require any adjustments.
You can typically use the parking lot within 24-48 hours for light traffic, but we recommend waiting a full week before heavy vehicles or delivery trucks use the surface.
Asphalt costs about half what concrete does and handles Stillwater’s freeze-thaw cycles better. Concrete can crack when water gets into joints and freezes, while asphalt has more flexibility.
Maintenance is easier with asphalt too. Small cracks can be sealed quickly and economically. Concrete repairs often require cutting out sections and patching, which is more expensive and time-consuming.
For most commercial applications in our climate, asphalt provides better long-term value. The initial savings plus lower maintenance costs make it the practical choice for most parking lot projects.
Look for widespread cracking, potholes, or areas where the base is failing and the asphalt is sinking. If more than 30% of your parking lot shows significant damage, replacement usually makes more sense than patching.
Water pooling in multiple areas indicates base problems that patching won’t fix. Similarly, if you’re spending money on frequent repairs, you’re probably dealing with underlying structural issues.
We can assess your current parking lot and give you an honest evaluation. Sometimes strategic repairs can extend the life of existing pavement, but other times starting fresh is the most cost-effective approach.
Sealcoating every 2-3 years is the most important maintenance step. This protects the asphalt from UV damage, water penetration, and chemical spills that can break down the surface.
Crack sealing should be done promptly when small cracks appear. Water getting into cracks leads to base damage, especially during freeze-thaw cycles. Small repairs now prevent major problems later.
Regular cleaning and line striping keep your parking lot looking professional and functioning safely. We can set up a maintenance schedule that fits your budget and keeps your pavement in good condition.
Yes, we plan projects to minimize disruption to your business. We can work in phases, tackle sections during off-hours, or schedule around your busy periods.
For retail locations, we often work evenings or weekends when customer traffic is lighter. Office complexes might prefer daytime work when fewer employees are on-site.
We’ll discuss your specific needs during the planning phase and develop a schedule that works for your business. Clear communication about timing and access helps ensure the project goes smoothly.
We handle all necessary permits and coordinate inspections as required by local regulations. Stillwater and Saratoga County have specific requirements that we’re familiar with from years of local work.
The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, which we factor into our project timeline. We submit all required documentation and handle any questions from the permitting office.
You don’t need to worry about compliance issues. We know what’s required and make sure everything meets local codes and standards. This includes proper drainage, ADA compliance where applicable, and any environmental considerations.
