Huntington Asphalt Paving Services

Smooth Surfaces, Zero Headaches

Your driveway or parking lot should work for you, not against you. When asphalt is installed correctly with the right materials, you get smooth surfaces that drain properly and hold up to everything from summer heat to winter freeze-thaw cycles.

No more dodging potholes in your own driveway. No more water pooling near your building’s foundation. No more wondering if that crack is going to turn into a major repair bill.

Quality asphalt paving means you can focus on what matters to you instead of constantly worrying about your pavement. Whether you’re pulling into your driveway after work or customers are visiting your business, the surface should be the last thing on your mind.

We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been handling asphalt projects throughout Huntington and the surrounding Long Island area for years. We understand how coastal weather affects pavement and use materials and techniques that actually work in this climate.

Every job gets the same attention whether it’s a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot. We know that your asphalt needs to handle real conditions, not just look good on installation day.

Local knowledge matters when you’re dealing with salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and the heavy traffic that comes with Long Island living.

Asphalt Installation Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

Every asphalt project starts with evaluating your specific site conditions. We look at drainage, soil conditions, and how the surface will be used to determine the right approach for your situation.

Proper preparation makes the difference between asphalt that lasts and asphalt that fails. This means excavating to the right depth, ensuring proper base materials, and getting the grade right for drainage. Shortcuts here cost you money later.

Installation involves laying asphalt at the correct temperature and compacting it properly while it’s still workable. The timing has to be right, and the equipment has to be maintained properly. Once the surface cures, you have pavement that’s ready to handle daily use for years.

New asphalt can typically handle light foot traffic within 24 hours, but you should wait at least 3-5 days before driving on it, depending on weather conditions and thickness. Full curing takes several months, during which the asphalt continues to harden and reach its maximum strength. During the first few weeks, avoid parking in the same spot repeatedly and be careful with kickstands, lawn chairs, or anything with small contact points that could leave impressions. Hot weather slows the initial curing process, so summer installations may need a bit more time before heavy use.
Patching works when you have isolated problem areas but the overall asphalt structure is still sound. It’s more cost-effective for small sections but won’t address underlying issues like poor drainage or base problems. Full replacement becomes necessary when you have widespread cracking, multiple patches, or structural issues with the base layer. If more than 30% of your surface needs repair, replacement usually makes more financial sense. A good contractor will honestly assess whether patching will solve your problem or just delay the inevitable replacement.
Most residential driveways in Huntington benefit from sealcoating every 2-3 years, but this depends on traffic, weather exposure, and the original installation quality. New asphalt should cure for 6-12 months before the first sealcoating application. Signs you need sealing include fading color, small cracks starting to appear, or rough texture developing. Long Island’s coastal climate and winter salt exposure can accelerate wear, so properties closer to the water or on busy streets may need more frequent attention. Quality sealcoating extends asphalt life significantly and costs much less than major repairs.
Asphalt installation becomes challenging when temperatures consistently drop below 50°F because the material cools too quickly for proper compaction. Most quality contractors in Huntington avoid new installations from late November through early March. However, emergency repairs can sometimes be done with specialized techniques and materials during warmer winter days. Spring and fall offer ideal conditions with moderate temperatures and lower humidity. Summer installation is possible but requires careful timing to avoid the hottest parts of the day when asphalt becomes difficult to work with.
Cracking usually results from water infiltration, freeze-thaw cycles, poor drainage, or inadequate base preparation during installation. Long Island’s climate creates perfect conditions for freeze-thaw damage when water gets into small cracks and expands. Prevention starts with proper installation including adequate base depth, correct grading for drainage, and quality materials. Regular maintenance like sealcoating helps prevent water penetration. Address small cracks quickly before they allow water to reach the base layer, where real damage occurs. Proper drainage around your driveway is just as important as the asphalt itself.
Asphalt typically costs less upfront than concrete or pavers but requires more regular maintenance. For most Huntington properties, asphalt offers the best balance of initial cost, durability, and maintenance requirements. Concrete costs more initially but lasts longer with less maintenance, while pavers offer design flexibility at a premium price. The total cost over 15-20 years often favors asphalt when you factor in Long Island’s climate challenges. Your specific site conditions, drainage needs, and aesthetic preferences should guide the decision more than cost alone, but asphalt remains the most economical choice for most residential and commercial applications.
