Paving Contractors Cherry Grove

We Know Long Island Driveways

We’ve been handling residential paving projects across Long Island for years. We understand how coastal weather, sandy soil, and freeze-thaw cycles affect asphalt performance.

We’re not the crew that shows up, pours some asphalt, and disappears. We prep the base correctly, use quality materials, and stand behind our work. Your neighbors have probably seen our trucks around Cherry Grove because we do a lot of repeat business in the area.

As local contractors who actually live here, we understand what works and what doesn’t. We source materials from Long Island suppliers and know which techniques hold up best in our climate.

Driveway Installation Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your existing driveway and drainage situation. We measure, check grades, and identify any underlying issues that need addressing before new asphalt goes down.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This step separates professional work from amateur jobs. We remove old material, grade for proper drainage, and install a solid base that won’t shift or settle over time.

Then we install the asphalt in proper lifts, compact it correctly, and ensure smooth transitions at edges and joints. The whole process typically takes 1-2 days for most residential driveways, depending on size and complexity. You can drive on your new driveway within 24-48 hours, though we recommend avoiding heavy loads for the first week.

Most residential driveways in Cherry Grove take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. Day one usually involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers asphalt installation and finishing work. Weather can affect timing – we won’t install asphalt in rain or extreme temperatures because it compromises quality. You can typically drive on your new driveway within 24-48 hours, though we recommend avoiding heavy vehicles for the first week while the asphalt fully cures.
Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete, which matters here on Long Island. It’s also easier to repair if damage occurs. Concrete lasts longer but costs significantly more and can crack during harsh winters. For most Cherry Grove homeowners, asphalt provides the best balance of durability, appearance, and value. Asphalt also allows for easier snow removal and doesn’t show salt stains as readily as concrete does.
Residential driveway paving costs vary based on size, current condition, and any drainage work needed. Most Cherry Grove driveways fall between $3-7 per square foot for quality asphalt installation. Factors affecting price include excavation depth required, base material needs, and accessibility for equipment. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Cheaper quotes often mean corners cut on base preparation or material quality.
Late spring through early fall provides the best conditions for asphalt paving in Cherry Grove. We need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees and dry weather for optimal results. Summer and early fall are ideal because the asphalt cures properly and has time to settle before winter freeze-thaw cycles begin. Emergency repairs can be done year-round, but new installations should wait for proper weather conditions to ensure the longest-lasting results.
Yes, proper drainage is critical for Long Island driveways due to our flat terrain and periodic heavy rains. We grade every driveway to direct water away from your foundation and prevent pooling. If your current driveway has drainage problems, we address those during the excavation and base preparation phase. This might involve adjusting grades, installing drainage systems, or modifying the driveway design. Ignoring drainage during installation leads to premature failure and water damage around your home.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Cherry Grove typically lasts 15-25 years with basic maintenance. The key factors are quality base preparation, proper asphalt thickness, and periodic sealcoating every 3-5 years. Long Island’s coastal climate and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on pavement, but quality installation techniques help maximize lifespan. Minor crack sealing and occasional patching are normal maintenance items. Driveways that fail prematurely usually had inadequate base preparation or used substandard materials during installation.
