We Know Long Island Asphalt

All Purpose Paving has been handling asphalt projects throughout the Stony Brook area for years. We’ve seen what works here and what doesn’t.

Long Island’s soil conditions and weather patterns aren’t forgiving to asphalt work. We’ve learned through experience how to prep surfaces properly and which materials hold up to our winters.

You’re working with contractors who understand local codes, have established supplier relationships, and show up when we say we will. We’re not the cheapest option, but we’re the one that saves you money long-term.

Asphalt Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we evaluate your current surface and drainage situation. Most asphalt problems start with poor drainage or inadequate base preparation, so we identify these issues upfront.

Next, we remove damaged material and properly grade the base. This step determines how long your new asphalt will last, so we don’t cut corners here. We compact everything properly and ensure water flows away from the surface.

Then we install your new asphalt using commercial-grade materials designed for our climate. We time the work around weather conditions and allow proper curing time before you can use the surface.

How long does asphalt last on Long Island?

Properly installed asphalt typically lasts 15-20 years in our climate, but this depends heavily on installation quality and maintenance. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on asphalt, so proper base preparation and drainage are critical. Surfaces that start showing cracks within the first few years usually had installation problems. Regular sealcoating every 3-4 years and prompt crack repair can extend the life significantly. Commercial surfaces with heavy traffic may need replacement sooner, while residential driveways often last longer with proper care.

What causes potholes to form so quickly here?

Potholes form when water gets under the asphalt surface and then freezes. Long Island’s winter weather creates perfect conditions for this – water seeps into small cracks, freezes and expands, then thaws and leaves bigger cracks. Traffic over these weakened spots eventually breaks chunks away, creating potholes. Poor drainage makes this worse by keeping water around longer. The key is fixing small cracks before water can penetrate and ensuring proper drainage during installation. Once potholes start forming, they spread quickly if not repaired properly.

How much does asphalt paving cost in Stony Brook?

Asphalt paving costs vary based on the size of the area, current condition, and access requirements. Residential driveways typically range from $3-7 per square foot, while commercial projects may cost more due to thicker asphalt requirements and site complexity. The total project cost includes excavation, base preparation, materials, and labor. Repair work is usually less expensive than full replacement, but sometimes patching costs more long-term than doing it right the first time. We provide written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

When is the best time to install asphalt?

Spring through fall offers the best conditions for asphalt installation in New York. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to install properly and cure correctly – ideally above 50 degrees during installation and for several days afterward. We can handle emergency repairs in winter when necessary, but planned installations work best in warmer months. Summer installation means faster curing and better compaction, but we avoid extremely hot days when asphalt becomes difficult to work with. Fall installation gives you a full season to cure before winter weather hits.

Do you handle commercial asphalt projects?

Yes, we handle commercial asphalt projects including parking lots, access roads, and loading areas. Commercial work requires thicker asphalt, proper drainage design, and ADA-compliant installation. We coordinate with property managers to minimize business disruption and can work around operating schedules when possible. Commercial projects often need permits and inspections, which we handle as part of the service. We understand the liability issues property owners face with damaged pavement and prioritize getting commercial repairs done quickly and correctly.

What's the difference between asphalt repair and replacement?

Asphalt repair involves fixing specific problem areas like cracks or potholes while keeping most of the existing surface. This works when the overall asphalt is still in good condition but has isolated damage. Full replacement means removing all the old asphalt and installing a completely new surface. Replacement is necessary when the base has failed, when there’s extensive cracking throughout, or when the surface has multiple layers of patches. Sometimes repair seems cheaper initially but replacement actually costs less long-term by eliminating ongoing maintenance issues. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
