Everything Your Project Needs

You get comprehensive paving services from initial site preparation through final cleanup. This includes excavation, proper base installation, drainage solutions, and professional-grade asphalt application. We handle permit requirements and coordinate with local authorities when needed.

Our work covers residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and everything in between. Each project receives the same attention to proper base preparation and drainage – the foundation work that determines whether your pavement lasts five years or twenty.

We use materials specifically suited to Long Island’s conditions and maintain relationships with local suppliers for consistent quality. Your project includes appropriate thickness for your usage, proper grading for drainage, and clean finishing work that looks professional from day one.

How long does asphalt paving typically last in Long Island?

Properly installed asphalt should last 15-20 years in Long Island’s climate when maintained correctly. The key factors are proper base preparation, appropriate thickness for your usage, and quality materials. Cheap installations often fail within 3-5 years because contractors skip crucial base work or use inadequate materials. Regular sealcoating every 2-3 years and prompt crack repair extend the life significantly. Weather here is tough on pavement – freeze-thaw cycles, salt exposure, and soil movement all take their toll, which is why proper installation matters so much.

What's the difference between hot mix and cold patch asphalt?

Hot mix asphalt is heated to around 300 degrees and applied while hot, creating a strong, durable surface that compacts properly and bonds well. This is what we use for new installations and major repairs. Cold patch is a temporary fix – it’s asphalt mixed with solvents that can be applied at ambient temperature, but it doesn’t compact as well and typically fails within a year or two. Some contractors use cold patch to keep costs down, but it’s really meant for emergency repairs until proper hot mix work can be done. For permanent results, hot mix is the only real option.

How thick should my driveway asphalt be?

Residential driveways typically need 2-3 inches of asphalt over a properly prepared base. Light residential use can work with 2 inches, but 3 inches provides better durability, especially if you have heavier vehicles or get deliveries. Commercial applications usually require 3-4 inches depending on traffic load. The base preparation is equally important – we typically install 4-6 inches of compacted stone base under the asphalt. Contractors who skip base work or use thin asphalt are setting you up for premature failure. Proper thickness costs more upfront but saves money long-term.

When is the best time of year for paving work?

Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt paving in New York. We need temperatures above 50 degrees for proper installation, and dry conditions for base preparation work. Summer and early fall are ideal because the asphalt stays workable longer and compacts better in warm weather. Winter work is possible but limited – we can’t pave when it’s too cold or wet. Spring scheduling fills up quickly because everyone wants work done after winter damage becomes apparent. Planning ahead and booking early in the season typically gets you better scheduling flexibility and sometimes better pricing.

Do I need permits for driveway paving in Old Mastic?

Most driveway replacement projects don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries and not changing drainage patterns. However, if you’re expanding the driveway, adding new access points, or making changes that affect stormwater runoff, permits may be required. Commercial projects typically need permits regardless of scope. We handle permit research and applications when needed – it’s part of doing the job right. Town requirements can be specific about setbacks, drainage, and environmental considerations. Better to check upfront than deal with violations later. We know local requirements and can guide you through the process.

How soon can I drive on new asphalt?

You can typically walk on new asphalt within a few hours, but wait at least 24-48 hours before driving on it. Full curing takes several days to weeks depending on weather conditions. Hot weather speeds curing, while cool weather slows it down. We recommend avoiding heavy loads or sharp turns for the first week to prevent marking or indentations. Motorcycle kickstands, moving trucks, and dumpsters can damage fresh asphalt even after it seems solid. The surface will continue to harden over the first year, becoming more durable with time. We’ll give you specific guidance based on weather conditions and your particular installation.
