Your paving project includes proper site preparation, quality asphalt installation, and professional finishing. We handle excavation, grading, base preparation, and final paving in one coordinated project.
South Horicon properties face specific challenges with soil conditions and drainage requirements. We understand local building codes and weather patterns that affect long-term pavement performance.
Commercial clients get coordinated scheduling to minimize business disruption. Residential customers receive the same attention to detail and professional communication whether it’s a driveway or a major site development project.
Asphalt paving costs typically range from $5 to $9 per square foot for residential driveways in our area, including demolition of existing pavement. New installations with proper base preparation usually cost $7 to $13 per square foot.
The final price depends on your specific site conditions, asphalt thickness requirements, and whether we need to remove existing pavement. We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Factors like drainage requirements, site accessibility, and seasonal timing can affect pricing. We’ll walk through these considerations during your consultation and explain how they impact your project cost.
The optimal paving window in New York runs from April through October when temperatures allow asphalt to compact and cure properly. We avoid paving when temperatures drop below 50°F because it compromises the quality of the installation.
Spring and early fall often provide the best conditions with moderate temperatures and lower humidity. Summer paving is possible but requires careful timing to avoid extreme heat that makes working conditions difficult.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and will reschedule if conditions aren’t right for quality work. It’s better to wait for proper conditions than rush a job that won’t perform as expected.
A properly installed asphalt driveway typically lasts 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance. The key factors are quality installation, proper base preparation, and following a maintenance schedule that includes sealcoating every 3 to 5 years.
New York’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on pavement, but asphalt handles temperature changes better than concrete. Concrete tends to crack when exposed to freezing temperatures, while asphalt remains more flexible.
The lifespan depends on traffic load, drainage, and maintenance. Residential driveways with light traffic and proper care often exceed 20 years, while high-traffic commercial areas may need resurfacing sooner.
Yes, we provide complete excavation and site preparation services as part of our paving projects. This includes removing existing pavement, grading for proper drainage, and installing the stone base that supports your new asphalt.
Proper preparation is critical for long-term performance. We install 6 to 8 inches of compacted stone base for most residential driveways and adjust thickness based on soil conditions and expected traffic loads.
Our excavation services also include utility coordination, erosion control, and final grading to ensure water drains away from your property. We handle permits and inspections required by local building codes.
New asphalt should be sealcoated 6 to 12 months after installation to protect against weather damage and extend its lifespan. After that, sealcoating every 3 to 5 years helps prevent cracking and water penetration.
You can drive on new asphalt after 2 to 3 days, but full curing takes 20 to 30 days. During this time, avoid sharp turns and heavy loads that might leave marks in the surface.
Regular maintenance includes filling cracks promptly to prevent water damage and keeping the surface clean of debris that can hold moisture. Small repairs done early prevent major problems that cost much more to fix later.
Yes, Morgan Construction maintains full licensing and insurance coverage for all work performed in South Horicon and throughout New York. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance to protect both our crew and your property.
We’re familiar with local building codes and permit requirements for paving projects. When permits are needed, we handle the application process and coordinate inspections to ensure your project meets all regulatory requirements.
You’ll receive documentation of our insurance coverage and licensing before work begins. We also provide detailed project documentation and warranties on our workmanship to give you confidence in your investment.
