What You Get With Professional Paving

Your driveway becomes an asset, not a headache. No more avoiding certain spots when you pull in. No more explaining to guests why they need to watch their step.

You get smooth, even surfaces that handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking apart in two years. Water flows where it should—away from your foundation, not pooling in low spots that turn into ice rinks every winter.

Your property value goes up. Your maintenance headaches go down. And you stop wondering when the next pothole will appear because the job was done with commercial-grade materials and proper base preparation from the start.

Driveway Paving Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your current situation and provide a detailed written estimate. No surprises, no hidden costs—you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.

Next comes proper preparation. We excavate to the right depth, install proper base material, and ensure correct drainage slopes. This foundation work determines whether your pavement lasts five years or twenty.

Then we apply the asphalt using commercial-grade equipment and materials. Proper compaction, correct temperatures, clean edges. We finish with any necessary striping or sealing.

You get a final walkthrough where we explain maintenance recommendations and answer any questions. The job isn’t done until you’re satisfied with the results.

Commercial Paving Services

Complete Paving Services for Every Need

We handle residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and everything in between. New installations, complete reconstructions, or repairs to existing pavement—whatever your property needs.

Our work includes proper base preparation, drainage solutions, and quality asphalt application. We use the same commercial-grade materials and equipment whether we’re paving your driveway or a shopping center parking lot.

Stony Brook properties face unique challenges with soil conditions and weather patterns. We factor in local drainage requirements, frost line depths, and traffic patterns to ensure your pavement performs long-term. Every project gets the attention it deserves, from initial site preparation through final cleanup.

How long does asphalt paving take to complete?

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation, base preparation, and initial grading. Day two covers asphalt application and finishing work. Larger commercial projects may take several days or weeks. Weather conditions can affect timing—we won’t rush a job just to meet a deadline if conditions aren’t right for quality work. You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, though we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy vehicles or placing dumpsters on the surface.

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

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete, making it ideal for Long Island’s climate. It’s also easier to repair if damage occurs—you can patch asphalt seamlessly, while concrete repairs often leave visible marks. Asphalt does require periodic sealing every 3-5 years to maintain appearance and durability. Concrete lasts longer without maintenance but costs significantly more initially and can crack dramatically when it fails. For most Stony Brook properties, asphalt provides the best balance of performance, cost, and repairability.

How much does driveway paving cost in Stony Brook?

Residential driveway paving typically ranges from $3-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions, thickness requirements, and access challenges. A standard two-car driveway usually runs $2,500-5,500 total. Factors affecting cost include excavation depth needed, drainage requirements, and whether existing pavement needs removal. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs—no surprises or hidden fees. The investment pays off through increased property value and eliminating ongoing repair headaches. We’re not the cheapest option, but our pricing reflects quality materials and proper installation techniques that ensure long-term performance.

When is the best time of year for paving work?

Late spring through early fall provides optimal conditions for asphalt paving in New York. We need consistent temperatures above 50°F and dry conditions for proper asphalt curing. Peak season runs May through September, when scheduling fills up quickly. Early spring and late fall can work if weather cooperates, often with better availability and pricing. Winter paving is possible for emergency repairs but not ideal for major installations. If you’re planning a project, contact us in early spring to secure your preferred timing. Weather delays happen—we’d rather reschedule than compromise quality by working in poor conditions.

Do you handle commercial parking lot paving projects?

Yes, we handle commercial paving projects throughout Stony Brook and Long Island, from small business parking areas to large retail complexes. Commercial work requires heavier base preparation, thicker asphalt, and stricter drainage specifications than residential projects. We coordinate with property managers to minimize business disruption, often working nights or weekends when necessary. Our commercial services include new construction, full reconstruction, overlay applications, and ongoing maintenance programs. We understand ADA compliance requirements, proper traffic flow design, and municipal permitting processes. Each commercial project gets engineered specifications appropriate for expected traffic loads and usage patterns.

How do I maintain my new asphalt driveway?

Keep your driveway clean and address small cracks immediately before they expand. Sealcoating every 3-5 years protects against weather damage and extends pavement life significantly. Avoid parking heavy vehicles or placing dumpsters in the same spots repeatedly. Clear snow promptly but avoid metal shovels or aggressive ice melting products that can damage the surface. Small cracks can be filled with quality crack sealer available at hardware stores. For larger repairs or professional sealcoating, call us—we provide ongoing maintenance services for all our installations. Proper maintenance can double your pavement’s lifespan and maintain your property’s appearance and value.
