Driveway Paving Process

Here's How We Handle It

First, we assess your existing surface and drainage situation. Every property is different, and we need to understand what we’re working with before we start.

Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems start if it’s done wrong. We remove old material, grade for proper drainage, and install a stable foundation.

Then we apply the asphalt in proper lifts using professional equipment. No shortcuts, no rushing. We compact each layer correctly and ensure proper thickness throughout the entire surface.

Finally, we clean up completely and walk through the finished project with you. You’ll know exactly what was done and how to maintain your new pavement.

What's Included In Your Project

Every paving project includes proper site preparation, quality materials, and professional installation. We handle permits when needed and coordinate with utility companies if there are conflicts.

You get detailed preparation work including excavation, grading, and base installation. We don’t skip steps that matter later. Proper drainage solutions are included because water problems don’t fix themselves.

Our installations use commercial-grade asphalt mix designed for local conditions. We apply it at proper thickness with professional equipment and compact it correctly. The finished surface is smooth, properly sloped, and ready for immediate use.

How long does asphalt paving typically last in Lake Grove?

Properly installed asphalt should last 15-20 years in our climate with basic maintenance. The key is proper base preparation and using quality materials designed for freeze-thaw cycles. Cheap installations might look fine initially but start failing within 3-5 years. We focus on techniques that work long-term because replacing pavement is expensive and disruptive. Regular sealcoating every 3-4 years and prompt crack repair will extend the life even further.

What's the difference between residential and commercial paving?

Commercial paving typically requires thicker asphalt and stronger base preparation due to heavier traffic loads. Residential driveways usually need 2-3 inches of asphalt over proper base, while commercial parking lots often need 4+ inches. The asphalt mix is also different – commercial applications use higher-grade materials to handle truck traffic and constant use. Installation techniques are similar, but commercial projects require more attention to drainage and traffic flow patterns.

How do you handle drainage issues during paving projects?

Drainage is critical in our area because water damage destroys pavement quickly. We grade the surface to direct water away from buildings and toward appropriate drainage points. This might include installing catch basins, adjusting slopes, or creating channels. Poor drainage causes water to pool, which leads to cracking, settling, and premature failure. We address drainage problems during the base preparation phase because fixing them after paving is much more expensive.

What should I expect during the paving installation process?

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days depending on size and complexity. Day one involves excavation, base preparation, and grading. Day two is asphalt installation and finishing. You’ll need to keep vehicles off the new surface for 24-48 hours while it cures. We’ll coordinate timing to minimize disruption and provide clear instructions about when you can use the pavement. Weather can affect scheduling since we can’t install asphalt in rain or freezing temperatures.

How much does driveway paving cost in Lake Grove?

Driveway paving costs vary based on size, existing conditions, and site access. Most residential driveways range from $3-6 per square foot depending on thickness needed and preparation required. Projects requiring extensive excavation or drainage work cost more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Cheap quotes often mean corners will be cut somewhere, which costs more when you have to redo the work.

When is the best time to schedule paving work?

Spring through fall is ideal for asphalt installation in New York. We can’t install asphalt when temperatures drop below 50 degrees consistently because it won’t compact properly. Late spring and early fall often have the best weather conditions and more flexible scheduling. Summer works but can be busier with longer wait times. Planning ahead helps ensure your project gets scheduled when you need it completed, especially for larger commercial projects.
