What You Get When It's Done Right

Your driveway should handle whatever Long Island weather throws at it. That means proper drainage so water doesn’t pool and freeze into skating rinks every winter. It means base preparation that prevents those annoying cracks and potholes from showing up six months later.

When we’re done, you’ll have a smooth, properly graded surface that directs water away from your foundation. No more dodging puddles or worrying about ice patches. No more explaining to guests why they need to park on the street.

You’ll also have something that actually adds value to your property instead of making you cringe every time you pull into your driveway. Clean lines, proper edging, and a surface that looks professional because it was installed by professionals.

We Know Long Island Pavement Challenges

All Purpose Paving has been handling East Quogue’s unique paving challenges for years. We understand what Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles do to asphalt, and we know how to build driveways and parking lots that handle the punishment.

We’re licensed, insured, and we show up when we say we will. Our crew uses proper equipment, not the bare minimum. We give you written estimates with actual details, not vague line items that leave room for surprises.

Most importantly, we do the prep work that other contractors skip. Because the difference between a driveway that lasts five years and one that lasts twenty comes down to what happens before the asphalt goes down.

Driveway Paving Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we excavate to the proper depth and grade everything for drainage. This isn’t negotiable – water is the enemy of any pavement, and Long Island gets plenty of it. We make sure water flows away from your foundation and off your driveway.

Next comes the base material. We install and compact crushed stone to create a stable foundation. This is where a lot of contractors cut corners, but it’s also what determines whether your driveway develops potholes in two years or twenty.

Then we install the asphalt in lifts, compacting each layer properly. We use the right temperature, the right thickness, and we don’t rush it. The edges get sealed, the surface gets finished smooth, and you get a driveway that actually works.

Finally, we clean up completely and give you clear instructions on curing time. Most driveways are ready for normal use within 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions.

Every project includes proper cleanup and a clear warranty on both materials and workmanship. You’ll know exactly what’s covered and for how long before we start.

How long does a new asphalt driveway last in East Quogue?

A properly installed asphalt driveway should last 15-20 years in Long Island’s climate, sometimes longer with good maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate thickness, and good drainage. Driveways that fail early usually have problems with one of these three elements. We see driveways we installed in the 1990s that still look good because they were built right from the start. Climate matters too – Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on pavement, but quality installation and materials handle it fine.

What's the difference between asphalt and concrete for driveways?

Asphalt is more flexible and handles Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete. It’s also less expensive initially and easier to repair if problems develop. Concrete can crack from frost heaving, and those cracks are expensive to fix properly. Asphalt can be seal-coated every few years to extend its life and keep it looking fresh. The main advantage of concrete is appearance – some people prefer the look. But for durability and cost-effectiveness in our climate, asphalt is usually the better choice for most East Quogue properties.

How much does driveway paving cost in East Quogue?

Residential driveway paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot, depending on the scope of work and site conditions. A complete reconstruction costs more than an overlay, but it also lasts much longer. Factors that affect price include excavation depth, drainage requirements, base material thickness, and site access. We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for. Be wary of estimates that seem too good to be true – they usually are. Quality materials and proper installation cost what they cost, and cutting corners always shows up later.

When is the best time of year for paving work?

Late spring through early fall is ideal for asphalt work on Long Island. We need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees for proper installation and curing. Summer and early fall are actually peak season because the weather is most predictable. Winter work is possible but weather-dependent and sometimes requires special procedures. Spring can be tricky because of ground conditions from winter frost. We typically schedule major projects from May through October, but smaller repairs can often be done year-round depending on conditions.

Do you handle drainage issues with driveway paving?

Absolutely – drainage is critical for any paving project in East Quogue. Poor drainage is the number one cause of premature pavement failure. We evaluate the entire drainage situation during our site visit, including how water flows from your roof, where it needs to go, and how to prevent pooling. This might involve adjusting grades, installing catch basins, or connecting to existing drainage systems. Sometimes we need to coordinate with other contractors for more complex drainage solutions. Getting the water management right is just as important as the paving itself.

What maintenance does a new asphalt driveway need?

New asphalt needs very little maintenance for the first few years. Avoid heavy loads and sharp turns for the first month while it fully cures. After 12-18 months, you can apply a seal coat to protect the surface and enhance appearance. Seal coating every 2-3 years extends the life significantly. Keep the surface clean and address any cracks promptly before they allow water penetration. In winter, use sand instead of rock salt when possible – it’s gentler on the asphalt. With basic maintenance, your driveway will look good and perform well for decades.
