Center Moriches Paving Contractors

We Know Long Island Driveways

All Purpose Paving has been handling residential paving projects across Center Moriches and Long Island for years. We understand how the freeze-thaw cycles here destroy poorly installed driveways.

Most contractors rush the base work because you can’t see it. We don’t, because we know that’s where driveways fail. Your neighbors have probably learned this the hard way.

We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. Quality materials and proper installation cost more upfront but save you thousands in repairs and replacements down the road.

Our Driveway Installation Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your current driveway and drainage situation. Most problems start with water, so we identify where it’s going and how to redirect it properly.

Next, we remove the old surface and prepare the base correctly. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s the foundation of everything. We compact and grade the base to prevent settling and cracking.

Then we install the new asphalt at the right temperature and thickness for your specific needs. We seal edges properly and ensure smooth transitions to your garage and street. The result is a driveway that looks professional and performs for decades.

What's Included In Every Project

Every residential paving project includes proper base preparation, quality asphalt materials, and professional installation techniques. We handle permits when needed and coordinate with local regulations.

You get proper drainage solutions built into the design. Water damage is the biggest threat to any driveway in Center Moriches, so we address it from the start rather than hoping it won’t be a problem.

We also handle the details that matter: clean edges, smooth transitions, and proper grading that directs water away from your foundation. Your project includes cleanup and a clear timeline so you know exactly what to expect.

How long does asphalt driveway installation take in Center Moriches?

Most residential driveway projects take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one involves removing old material and preparing the base. Day two is asphalt installation. We might need a third day for final grading and cleanup. Weather can affect timing, especially during Long Island’s unpredictable spring and fall seasons. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions change. You can typically drive on your new driveway within 24-48 hours of completion.

What's the difference between cheap and quality driveway paving?

The base preparation makes or breaks every driveway project. Cheap contractors skip proper excavation and use inadequate base materials to save time and money. Quality work involves removing enough material, installing proper stone base, and compacting everything correctly. Asphalt thickness matters too – we use the right depth for your specific traffic needs. Cheap work looks fine initially but develops cracks and potholes within a few years. Quality installation with proper materials lasts 15-20 years with minimal maintenance. You’re not just paying for asphalt; you’re paying for expertise and materials that perform.

How much does residential paving cost in Center Moriches?

Driveway paving costs vary based on size, current condition, and specific requirements like drainage solutions. Most residential projects in Center Moriches range from $3-7 per square foot for quality work. Factors affecting price include: amount of excavation needed, base preparation requirements, asphalt thickness, and any drainage improvements. Extremely low bids usually mean corners will be cut on materials or preparation. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re getting. The investment typically adds more value to your property than it costs, especially compared to the ongoing repairs that cheap work requires.

Will my new driveway crack like the old one did?

Properly installed driveways with adequate base preparation rarely develop significant cracking. Most driveway failures happen because the original contractor didn’t excavate deep enough or used poor base materials. We address the root causes: inadequate base, poor drainage, and thin asphalt. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on any pavement, but quality installation handles these conditions. Small hairline cracks can develop over time and are normal, but the major cracking and settling that destroys driveways comes from installation shortcuts. When we do the base work correctly and use proper asphalt thickness, your driveway will handle local weather conditions for decades.

Do you handle driveway repairs or just full replacements?

We handle both repairs and complete driveway replacement, depending on your current situation. Minor crack sealing and patching can extend a driveway’s life if the base is still solid. However, if you’re dealing with widespread cracking, settling, or drainage problems, repairs are usually temporary fixes that waste money. We’ll honestly assess whether repair makes sense or if replacement is the better investment. Sometimes a partial replacement of the worst sections combined with resurfacing the rest provides the best value. We’re not trying to sell you more than you need, but we won’t recommend repairs that won’t last either.

What maintenance does a new asphalt driveway need?

Quality asphalt driveways need minimal maintenance when installed correctly. Seal coating every 3-5 years helps protect against water penetration and extends life, but it’s not immediately necessary with new installation. Keep the surface clean of debris and address any small cracks quickly before they spread. Avoid using rock salt in winter – sand or calcium chloride are better for asphalt. Don’t let heavy vehicles park in the same spot repeatedly, especially when it’s hot. Most importantly, ensure good drainage around the edges so water doesn’t pool. With proper installation and basic care, your driveway should perform well for 15-20 years before needing major attention.
