Lake Ronkonkoma Asphalt Contractors

We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been handling asphalt projects throughout Lake Ronkonkoma and Long Island for years. We understand what works here and what doesn’t.

Long Island soil shifts. Winters freeze and thaw. Poor drainage destroys even good asphalt. We’ve seen every problem you can imagine, and we know how to prevent them.

That experience shows up in how we prep your base, how we handle drainage, and which materials we use. It’s the difference between asphalt that lasts and asphalt that becomes your problem again next year.

Asphalt Installation Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your current surface and drainage situation. Most asphalt problems start with poor preparation, so we identify what needs to be fixed before we lay anything new.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. We remove old, damaged material and create a stable foundation with proper grading for drainage. This step determines whether your asphalt lasts 5 years or 20.

Then we install the asphalt using commercial-grade equipment and materials designed for our climate. We compact it properly and ensure smooth transitions at edges and joints. The result is a surface that handles traffic and weather without falling apart.

Asphalt Repair and Maintenance

Complete Asphalt Solutions

We handle everything from small driveway repairs to complete commercial parking lot installations. Crack sealing, pothole repair, full resurfacing, and new construction.

For residential properties in Lake Ronkonkoma, that means fixing drainage issues that cause ice problems in winter. It means using materials that won’t crack when the ground shifts. And it means proper edging so your driveway doesn’t crumble at the sides.

Commercial projects get the same attention to drainage and base preparation, plus we understand traffic patterns and loading requirements. Whether it’s a small business parking area or a large commercial facility, the asphalt needs to handle the load without developing ruts or soft spots.

How long does new asphalt last in Lake Ronkonkoma?

Properly installed asphalt typically lasts 15-20 years in our climate when the base is prepared correctly and drainage is handled properly. The key factors are soil preparation, proper grading for water runoff, and using materials designed for freeze-thaw cycles. Cheaper installations that skip base preparation might only last 5-7 years before requiring major repairs. The upfront investment in doing it right saves money long-term by avoiding frequent repairs and premature replacement.

What causes asphalt driveways to crack and fail?

Poor drainage is the biggest culprit. Water that pools or doesn’t drain properly will freeze in winter, expand, and crack the asphalt. Inadequate base preparation is another major cause – if the foundation isn’t stable and properly compacted, the asphalt will shift and crack. Using thin asphalt or low-grade materials also leads to premature failure. Finally, Long Island’s clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, so proper excavation and base material selection is critical for long-term stability.

How much does asphalt driveway installation cost?

Costs vary based on size, current condition, drainage requirements, and access to your property. A typical residential driveway ranges from $3-7 per square foot, depending on thickness and base preparation needed. Full excavation and replacement costs more than overlay, but lasts much longer. We provide detailed estimates that break down excavation, base preparation, materials, and labor so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. The cheapest bid usually means corners are being cut somewhere that will cost you later.

Can you repair asphalt in winter or do we have to wait?

Emergency repairs can be done in winter, but full installations and major repairs are best done in warmer months when materials cure properly. Temporary patching can address safety hazards and prevent further damage during winter months. For permanent repairs, we typically recommend waiting until temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees so the asphalt bonds correctly and compacts properly. Planning ahead for spring installation allows better scheduling and ensures optimal conditions for long-lasting results.

Do I need permits for asphalt driveway work in Lake Ronkonkoma?

Most residential driveway repairs and replacements within existing boundaries don’t require permits in Lake Ronkonkoma. However, if you’re expanding your driveway, changing drainage patterns, or working near property lines, permits may be required. Commercial projects typically need permits and inspections. We’re familiar with local requirements and can advise you on what’s needed for your specific project. When permits are required, we can help guide you through the process to avoid delays.

What's the difference between asphalt overlay and full replacement?

Overlay means applying new asphalt over existing pavement, which works when the base is still solid but the surface is worn. It’s less expensive but only adds 7-10 years of life. Full replacement involves excavating old material and rebuilding from the base up – more expensive initially but lasts 15-20 years. If your current asphalt has drainage problems, major cracks, or base failure, overlay just postpones the problem. We’ll assess your situation and recommend the approach that makes the most financial sense long-term.
