Asphalt Paving Amity Harbor

No More Cracking, Pooling, or Headaches

Your driveway or parking lot should handle whatever Long Island throws at it. Freeze-thaw cycles, coastal moisture, heavy traffic – none of it should leave you dealing with cracks, potholes, or water pooling against your foundation.

When asphalt is installed right the first time, you’re not calling contractors every few years. You’re not watching water collect where it shouldn’t. You’re not explaining to visitors why they need to step carefully around that growing pothole.

Quality asphalt work means smooth surfaces that drain properly, hold up to weather, and actually add value to your property. It means one less thing on your maintenance list and one less expense eating into your budget year after year.

We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been handling asphalt projects throughout Amity Harbor and the surrounding Long Island area for years. We understand what works here and what doesn’t.

Long Island’s weather is tough on asphalt. The freeze-thaw cycles, the coastal humidity, the heavy traffic – it all takes a toll. That’s why we use materials and techniques specifically chosen for these conditions.

You’ll find us working on residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and everything in between. We’re licensed, insured, and focused on getting your project done right the first time.

Asphalt Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your current surface and drainage situation. Every property is different, and we need to understand what we’re working with before we start tearing things up.

Next comes proper preparation – removing old asphalt if needed, grading the base, and ensuring proper drainage. This foundation work determines how long your new asphalt will last. Rush this step and you’ll be dealing with problems within a few years.

Then we install the asphalt using commercial-grade materials and equipment. We pay attention to thickness, compaction, and edge work because these details matter for durability. Finally, we clean up and walk you through proper curing and maintenance to protect your investment.

Asphalt Repair Services

Complete Asphalt Services for Every Need

We handle new asphalt installation, complete reconstruction, and repair work. Whether you need a new driveway, parking lot expansion, or just want to fix existing cracks before they become major problems, we’ve got the equipment and experience.

Our services include crack sealing, pothole repair, seal coating, line striping, and drainage improvements. We work with residential customers who want a driveway that lasts and commercial clients who need parking areas that can handle daily traffic without constant maintenance.

Every project gets the same attention to proper base preparation, quality materials, and drainage considerations. We’re not interested in quick fixes that create bigger problems down the road.

How long does new asphalt need to cure before I can drive on it?

You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, but full curing takes several weeks. We’ll give you specific timing based on weather conditions and the thickness of your installation. During the first few weeks, avoid sharp turns, heavy loads, and parking in the same spot repeatedly. The asphalt is still settling and can be damaged by concentrated weight or twisting motions. We’ll walk you through exactly what to expect and when you can resume normal use without worrying about damage.

What causes asphalt driveways to crack and how can I prevent it?

Most cracking comes from water getting underneath the asphalt and freezing, poor base preparation, or normal settling over time. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on asphalt surfaces. Prevention starts with proper installation – adequate base preparation, correct thickness, and good drainage. After installation, seal coating every 2-3 years helps protect against water penetration and UV damage. Address small cracks quickly before they allow water to reach the base layer. Regular maintenance is much cheaper than reconstruction.

How much does asphalt paving cost compared to concrete or other materials?

Asphalt typically costs less upfront than concrete and provides better value for most driveways and parking areas. Exact pricing depends on your specific project – size, current conditions, drainage needs, and access for equipment. Asphalt is easier to repair than concrete, handles freeze-thaw cycles better, and can be resurfaced when needed rather than completely replaced. We provide detailed estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work needed so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.

Can you pave over existing asphalt or does it need to be removed?

It depends on the condition of your existing asphalt. If the base is solid and there are only surface issues, we can often install a new layer over the old surface. However, if there are foundation problems, major cracking, or drainage issues, removal and reconstruction is the better long-term solution. We’ll assess your current surface and recommend the most cost-effective approach. Sometimes spending a bit more upfront for complete reconstruction saves money over time by avoiding repeated repairs.

What's the difference between residential and commercial asphalt installation?

Commercial projects typically require thicker asphalt and more robust base preparation to handle heavier traffic loads and frequent use. Residential driveways can use lighter specifications since they don’t see the same traffic volume. Commercial work often includes additional features like proper drainage systems, ADA-compliant slopes, and line striping. Both require quality materials and proper installation techniques, but the engineering and specifications are different. We adjust our approach based on your specific use requirements and traffic expectations.

How do I know if my asphalt needs repair or complete replacement?

Surface cracks, minor potholes, and fading can usually be repaired cost-effectively. However, if you’re seeing extensive cracking, major settling, or water pooling in multiple areas, replacement might be the better investment. Large cracks that return shortly after repair often indicate base problems that won’t be solved with surface fixes. We’ll evaluate your current conditions and give you honest recommendations about repair versus replacement. Sometimes spending more upfront for replacement saves money over time compared to ongoing repairs.
