Experienced Brentwood Paving Company

We Know Brentwood Driveways

All Purpose Paving has been handling residential paving projects throughout Brentwood and Long Island for years. We understand how the local soil shifts, where water tends to collect, and what materials hold up best in our climate.

Most paving problems come from shortcuts during installation. We don’t take them. Proper base preparation, quality asphalt, and correct grading aren’t optional steps for us.

Professional Driveway Installation Process

How We Handle Your Paving Project

We start with a site evaluation to check drainage, measure the area, and identify any issues with the existing surface. You get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Preparation makes the difference between a driveway that lasts and one that fails in two years. We excavate to the proper depth, install a solid base, and ensure correct grading for water runoff. The asphalt goes down hot and gets compacted properly while conditions are right.

The final step is cleanup and a walkthrough to make sure everything meets your expectations. You get a driveway that’s ready to use and built to handle daily traffic plus Long Island weather for years to come.

Everything Your Driveway Needs

Our residential paving covers new driveway installation, complete replacement of failed surfaces, and professional repairs that actually fix problems instead of just covering them up. We handle the permitting process when required and coordinate with local utilities if needed.

Every job includes proper base preparation, quality asphalt application, and correct finishing techniques. We also address drainage issues that cause premature failure and can add decorative elements like borders or custom shapes to match your home’s style.

Brentwood homeowners deal with specific challenges like clay soil that shifts and drainage issues from the local topography. We factor these conditions into every installation so your driveway performs well long-term instead of developing problems after the first winter.

How long does asphalt driveway installation take in Brentwood?

Most residential driveway projects in Brentwood take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day one covers excavation and base preparation. Day two involves asphalt installation and initial compaction. Day three handles final compaction, cleanup, and any finishing touches. Weather can extend the timeline since we won’t install asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too cold. Larger driveways or those requiring significant drainage work may take an additional day. You can typically drive on your new driveway within 24-48 hours after completion, though we recommend avoiding heavy vehicles for the first week.

What's the difference between asphalt repair and full driveway replacement?

Asphalt repair works when you have isolated cracks or small potholes but the overall surface is still solid. We can patch problem areas, seal cracks, and resurface sections that are worn but structurally sound. Full replacement becomes necessary when the base has failed, there’s widespread cracking, or the surface has multiple layers of failed patches. In Brentwood’s climate, driveways typically need replacement every 15-20 years depending on usage and maintenance. If more than 30% of your driveway needs repair, replacement usually makes more financial sense and gives you a longer-lasting result.

How much does residential paving cost in Brentwood?

Residential paving costs in Brentwood typically range from $3-7 per square foot for standard asphalt installation, depending on the project’s complexity and current site conditions. A typical two-car driveway runs between $2,500-5,500 for complete replacement. Factors affecting price include excavation depth needed, drainage requirements, accessibility for equipment, and any decorative elements you want added. Simple repairs or patching cost significantly less, usually $200-800 depending on the extent of work needed. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.

Will my new driveway handle Long Island winters properly?

Yes, when installed correctly with proper base preparation and quality materials. Long Island winters are tough on asphalt, but the key is using the right thickness and ensuring proper drainage so water doesn’t freeze under the surface. We install a minimum 3-inch asphalt depth for residential driveways, often more depending on soil conditions and expected traffic. The base preparation is critical – we compact crushed stone to create a stable foundation that won’t shift during freeze-thaw cycles. Proper grading ensures water runs off instead of pooling, which prevents the ice damage that destroys poorly installed driveways after just a few winters.

Do I need permits for driveway paving in Brentwood?

Most driveway replacement projects in Brentwood don’t require permits if you’re staying within the existing footprint and not changing drainage patterns. However, if you’re expanding the driveway, adding new access points, or significantly altering drainage, you’ll likely need approval from the Town of Islip. New driveways for recently built homes always require permits. We handle the permit research and application process when needed, since requirements can vary based on your specific location and project scope. It’s always better to check beforehand rather than deal with violations later, and we make sure all our work complies with local codes and regulations.

How soon can you start my residential paving project?

Our scheduling depends on the season and current project load, but we typically can start residential paving projects in Brentwood within 1-2 weeks during peak season and often sooner during slower periods. Spring and fall are our busiest times since that’s when most homeowners tackle driveway projects. Winter work is possible during mild stretches, but asphalt installation requires temperatures above 50 degrees for proper curing. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during your estimate appointment and can often accommodate urgent repairs more quickly. Emergency repairs for safety hazards like large potholes can usually be addressed within a few days regardless of season.
