We Know Long Island Driveways

All Purpose Paving has been handling residential paving projects across Long Island for years. We understand how the local soil shifts, how the salt air affects asphalt, and what it takes to build driveways that survive our winters.

We’re not the guys who show up, slap down some asphalt, and disappear. We’re the local company that has to live with our reputation in this community. That means doing the job right the first time.

Our team handles everything from small driveway repairs to complete residential installations. We use commercial-grade equipment and materials because residential projects deserve the same quality standards.

Driveway Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your current driveway and drainage situation. We look at how water moves across your property and where problems might develop. No guesswork about what you actually need.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most cheap jobs fall apart. We remove old materials completely and build a proper stone base that won’t shift or settle. The base determines how long your driveway lasts.

Then we install the asphalt in proper lifts, compact everything correctly, and ensure proper drainage slopes. We don’t rush this part. The installation determines whether you’re calling for repairs in two years or enjoying a trouble-free driveway for decades.

Asphalt Driveway Installation

What's Included in Every Project

Every residential paving project starts with proper excavation and base preparation. We don’t try to save money by skipping the foundation work. You get a stone base that’s built to handle Long Island’s soil conditions and weather patterns.

The asphalt itself is commercial-grade material, not the thin residential stuff that cracks after one winter. We install it in proper thickness and compact it with commercial equipment. Your driveway gets the same attention we give to parking lots and commercial projects.

Drainage is built into every installation. We grade everything so water moves away from your house and garage. No puddles, no ice patches, no water seeping into your foundation. This isn’t an extra service—it’s standard on every job because it has to be done right.

How long does a residential driveway installation take in Calverton?

Most residential driveway installations 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 grading and cleanup. Weather can extend this timeline, but we don’t cut corners to meet artificial deadlines. The base needs proper time to settle, and asphalt needs appropriate temperatures for installation. Rushing the process creates problems that show up later as cracks and settling.

What's the difference between residential and commercial grade asphalt for driveways?

Commercial grade asphalt uses higher quality aggregate and binder, creating a more durable surface that handles temperature changes better. Residential grade asphalt is thinner and uses cheaper materials to hit lower price points. The difference shows up in longevity—commercial grade typically lasts 15-20 years with proper maintenance, while residential grade starts showing problems in 5-8 years. We use commercial grade materials on residential projects because the cost difference is minimal compared to premature replacement costs.

How do you handle drainage issues during driveway installation?

Proper drainage starts with site evaluation before we break ground. We identify where water naturally flows and design the driveway grade to work with that flow, not against it. The base preparation includes creating proper slopes that direct water away from structures. We install the asphalt with a crown that sheds water to the edges, then ensure those edges have appropriate drainage outlets. Poor drainage destroys driveways faster than traffic or weather, so this isn’t optional—it’s engineered into every installation.

Can you repair an existing asphalt driveway or does it need complete replacement?

It depends on the extent of damage and the condition of the base underneath. Surface cracks and minor potholes can often be repaired if the foundation is solid. However, if you’re seeing widespread cracking, significant settling, or drainage problems, patching becomes a temporary fix that costs more long-term. We evaluate the base condition during our assessment. If the stone base has failed or shifted, repairs won’t hold. A complete replacement costs more upfront but eliminates the cycle of constant patch jobs.

What maintenance does a new asphalt driveway need in Long Island's climate?

Seal coating every 3-4 years protects against salt damage and UV deterioration. This is especially important on Long Island because of road salt exposure and coastal weather conditions. Keep the surface clean of debris and standing water. Address small cracks immediately before they expand through freeze-thaw cycles. Avoid heavy vehicles or equipment that can create ruts in hot weather. Most maintenance issues develop from neglecting small problems until they become major repairs. Regular attention keeps your driveway functional for decades.

How much does residential paving cost compared to other driveway options?

Asphalt typically costs 40-60% less than concrete for initial installation and offers better performance in freeze-thaw conditions. Gravel is cheaper upfront but requires constant maintenance and eventual replacement. Pavers cost significantly more than asphalt and can shift with ground movement. The real comparison is long-term value—properly installed asphalt provides 15-20 years of service with minimal maintenance. When you factor in durability, maintenance costs, and performance in Long Island weather, asphalt delivers the best return on investment for most residential applications.
