We Know Long Island Driveways

All Purpose Paving has been handling residential paving projects across Long Island for years. We understand what works here and what doesn’t.

Asphalt Driveway Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your current driveway and property drainage. This tells us what prep work is needed and helps avoid future problems.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This step determines how long your driveway lasts. We remove old materials, grade for proper drainage, and install a solid foundation.

Then we apply the asphalt in proper lifts, compact it correctly, and ensure smooth transitions to existing surfaces. The whole process typically takes 1-2 days for most residential driveways.

You can walk on it immediately, but we recommend waiting 24-48 hours before driving on it. This gives the asphalt time to cure properly.

Our residential paving covers everything from full driveway replacement to targeted repairs. We handle cracked surfaces, drainage issues, and complete installations.

Each project includes proper base preparation, quality asphalt application, and attention to drainage patterns. We also address transitions to sidewalks, garage floors, and existing pavement.

East Brentwood properties often need specific drainage considerations due to local soil conditions. We factor this into every job to prevent water damage and extend pavement life. Most projects come with material and workmanship warranties so you know the work will hold up.

A properly installed asphalt driveway in East Brentwood typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance. Long Island’s climate is tough on pavement due to freeze-thaw cycles and salt exposure, but quality installation and materials make a huge difference. The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate drainage, and using asphalt designed for our climate. Regular sealcoating every 2-3 years can extend life significantly by protecting against water penetration and salt damage.
Patching works when you have isolated problem areas – a few cracks or small potholes. It’s cost-effective for minor issues and can buy you several more years. Full replacement makes sense when you have widespread cracking, major drainage problems, or when the base has failed. If more than 30% of your driveway needs repair, replacement usually offers better long-term value. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most practical approach based on the extent of damage and your budget.
Drainage is critical in East Brentwood because water damage is the biggest threat to pavement longevity. We grade the base to direct water away from your home and prevent pooling on the driveway surface. This might involve adjusting the slope, installing drainage systems, or modifying the driveway layout. Poor drainage causes premature cracking, frost heave, and foundation problems. Every project starts with evaluating how water moves across your property, then designing the pavement to work with natural drainage patterns.
Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of your existing pavement. If the base is solid and you only have surface-level issues, an overlay can work well and costs less than full replacement. However, if there are structural problems, drainage issues, or significant cracking, paving over existing asphalt just delays bigger problems. We evaluate the existing surface, check for base stability, and assess drainage before recommending overlay versus replacement. The goal is a solution that actually lasts, not just a temporary fix.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt paving in East Brentwood. We need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees for proper installation and curing. Summer and early fall are ideal because the asphalt stays workable longer and cures more effectively. Winter paving is possible but requires special considerations and may cost more. Spring can be tricky due to ground conditions from winter freeze-thaw cycles. We typically recommend scheduling between May and October for optimal results and to ensure your driveway is ready before harsh weather returns.
Residential driveway paving costs vary based on size, site conditions, and scope of work needed. A typical East Brentwood driveway replacement runs between $3-7 per square foot, while repairs and overlays cost less. Factors affecting price include excavation requirements, drainage work, base preparation needs, and access challenges. Properties requiring significant prep work or drainage solutions cost more upfront but save money long-term. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for and why certain work is necessary.
