What You Get With Quality Paving

Your driveway becomes the reliable foundation it should be. No more worrying about cracks spreading each winter or water pooling near your foundation.

You get smooth, even surfaces that handle heavy vehicles and daily traffic without breaking down. The right materials installed correctly mean fewer repairs, less maintenance, and better drainage that protects your property.

Most importantly, you get peace of mind. When the next nor’easter hits or summer storms roll through, your driveway holds up while others in the neighborhood start showing wear.

We Know Long Island Paving

All Purpose Paving has been handling residential paving projects across Long Island for years. We understand what coastal properties need – materials that resist salt air corrosion and installation techniques that account for sandy soil conditions.

We’re not the guys who show up, lay some asphalt, and disappear. We’re local contractors who live and work in these communities. When we pave your driveway, we’re building something that represents our reputation in the neighborhood.

Our Driveway Paving Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your existing driveway and drainage situation. Every Fire Island property has unique challenges – soil composition, water flow, proximity to salt air. We factor all of this into our approach.

Next comes proper preparation. We excavate to the right depth, install appropriate base materials, and ensure proper grading for drainage. This foundation work determines how long your driveway lasts.

Finally, we install quality asphalt using the right thickness for your specific traffic needs. We compact everything properly and finish edges cleanly. The result is a driveway that looks professional and performs for years.

What's Included in Our Service

Every residential paving project includes proper site preparation, quality materials, and professional installation. We handle permits when needed and coordinate with utility companies if there are any conflicts.

You get drainage solutions designed for your property’s specific needs. Many Kismet homes deal with water issues, so we pay close attention to grading and runoff patterns. Poor drainage destroys driveways faster than anything else.

We also include cleanup and final grading around the paved area. Your landscaping stays intact, and you’re left with a finished product that enhances your property rather than disrupting it.

Most residential driveway projects take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day one involves excavation and base preparation. Day two is asphalt installation and initial compaction. Day three covers final touches and cleanup. Weather can extend this timeline, especially during Long Island’s unpredictable spring and fall seasons. We always give you realistic timeframes upfront and keep you updated if conditions change. The key is not rushing the process – proper curing time between steps ensures your driveway performs well for years.
Asphalt handles salt exposure and freeze-thaw cycles better than most alternatives when installed correctly. The flexibility of asphalt allows it to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking like concrete often does. For Fire Island properties, we use specific asphalt mixes that resist salt corrosion and hold up to sandy soil conditions. Proper drainage design is crucial here – water sitting on any paving material causes problems, but especially in coastal environments where salt accelerates deterioration.
Driveway paving costs depend on size, current condition, and site-specific challenges. Most residential driveways in the Kismet area range from $3,000 to $8,000 for complete replacement. Factors that affect pricing include excavation depth needed, drainage improvements, and access for equipment. Properties with difficult access or significant drainage issues cost more. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises or hidden fees after we start work.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt installation on Long Island. Temperatures need to stay consistently above 50 degrees for proper asphalt curing. We typically schedule most residential paving between April and October. Summer can be ideal, but extremely hot days aren’t great for working with asphalt. Fall is often perfect – cooler temperatures make the work more comfortable, and you get your new driveway ready for winter. We book projects several weeks in advance during peak season.
Most driveway replacements don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries and not changing drainage patterns. However, Fire Island communities sometimes have specific regulations about construction access and timing due to environmental protections. We handle permit research and applications when needed as part of our service. It’s always better to check beforehand rather than deal with violations later. We know local requirements and make sure your project complies with all applicable codes and regulations.
Keep your driveway clean and address small issues quickly. Seal coating every 3-4 years protects against salt damage and extends life significantly. Clean oil spills immediately – petroleum products break down asphalt over time. Avoid heavy vehicles during extremely hot weather when asphalt is softer. Fill small cracks before they spread and become major problems. Good drainage maintenance is crucial – keep edges clear and ensure water flows away from the paved surface. With proper care, quality asphalt driveways last 15-20 years in coastal environments.
