What Good Paving Actually Gets You

Your driveway stops being a problem. No more worrying about cracks spreading every winter or water pooling after storms. No more embarrassment when guests pull up to a deteriorating surface.

Good asphalt paving means your property looks sharp and stays that way. It means smooth surfaces that handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles without buckling or cracking. It means proper drainage that keeps water moving instead of creating ice patches or puddles.

You get years of durability instead of constant repairs. Your property value stays protected, and you can focus on everything else that matters instead of stressing about your pavement falling apart.

We Know Long Island Conditions

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

Long Island weather is tough on pavement. The salt, the freeze-thaw cycles, the heavy traffic – it all takes a toll. We’ve seen what happens when corners get cut, and we’ve learned how to build surfaces that actually hold up.

Our crew knows the local soil conditions, drainage requirements, and the kind of base preparation that prevents problems down the road. We’re not just another paving company – we’re Long Island specialists who do this right.

Our Paving Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your site and discuss what you need. We look at drainage, existing conditions, and any specific requirements for your property. You get a clear estimate with no surprises.

Next comes proper preparation. We excavate to the right depth, install proper base materials, and ensure correct grading for drainage. This foundation work is what separates lasting pavement from quick fixes that fail.

Then we install the asphalt using proper techniques and quality materials. We compact everything correctly, pay attention to edges and transitions, and make sure the finished surface is smooth and properly sloped. You get professional results that look good and perform well for years.

How long does asphalt paving typically last on Long Island?

Properly installed asphalt should last 15-20 years in Long Island conditions with basic maintenance. The key is proper base preparation and using the right asphalt mix for our climate. Cheap installations might look fine initially but often start failing within 3-5 years due to inadequate base work or poor materials. We focus on the foundation work that most homeowners never see but makes all the difference in longevity. Regular sealcoating every 3-4 years and prompt crack repair will help maximize your pavement’s lifespan.

What's the difference between cheap paving and quality work?

The biggest difference is in the preparation work you can’t see. Quality paving starts with proper excavation depth, usually 12-18 inches depending on soil conditions and intended use. We install proper base materials and compact everything in lifts. Cheap jobs often skip steps – inadequate excavation, poor base materials, or insufficient compaction. The asphalt itself matters too. We use appropriate mixes for Long Island weather, while budget contractors might use whatever’s cheapest. You’ll see the difference within a few years when quality work still looks good and cheap work starts cracking and settling.

How do you handle drainage issues with new paving?

Proper drainage is built into every job from the start. We grade everything so water moves away from buildings and doesn’t pool on the surface. This usually means creating a slight slope – typically 1-2% grade minimum. If your property has drainage challenges, we might need to install catch basins or redirect water flow. Poor drainage is the fastest way to destroy pavement, so we take this seriously. We also make sure edges are properly sealed so water can’t get underneath the asphalt and cause undermining or frost heaving.

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. The best months are typically May through October, though we can often work into November if weather cooperates. Summer heat actually helps with installation and compaction, so don’t worry about hot weather affecting quality. Winter work is possible in emergency situations, but spring installation gives your pavement the best chance to cure properly before facing its first winter. We recommend scheduling major projects for late spring or early summer.

Do you handle commercial parking lot paving and maintenance?

Yes, we handle commercial paving projects including parking lots, loading areas, and access roads. Commercial work requires heavier base preparation and thicker asphalt to handle truck traffic and constant use. We understand ADA requirements for accessible parking spaces and proper striping layouts. We also provide ongoing maintenance services like crack sealing, pothole repair, and sealcoating to help extend your pavement’s life. Many commercial clients work with us on preventive maintenance schedules that catch problems early and avoid costly full replacements.

What should I expect during the paving process?

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days depending on size and complexity. Day one usually involves excavation and base preparation – this is the messy part with heavy equipment. Day two typically involves asphalt installation and finishing work. You’ll need to keep vehicles off the new surface for at least 24-48 hours, longer in cool weather. We’ll mark off the area and provide clear instructions about when it’s safe to use. Commercial projects take longer but follow similar phases. We coordinate with you to minimize disruption and provide realistic timelines upfront.
