Home Paving Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your current driveway situation and discuss what you need. We look at drainage, measure the area, and explain what prep work is required for a lasting result.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This step determines how long your asphalt driveway will last, so we don’t cut corners. We remove old material, grade for proper drainage, and compact the base until it’s solid.

Then we install the asphalt using professional-grade equipment. The material goes down hot, gets compacted properly, and cures to create that smooth, durable surface. We clean up completely and walk through the finished work with you before we leave.

How long does a new asphalt driveway last in Lake Grove?

A properly installed asphalt driveway in Lake Grove typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance. The key factors are quality base preparation, proper drainage, and using asphalt designed for our climate. Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles can be tough on pavement, but good installation techniques account for this. Regular sealcoating every 3-4 years and prompt crack repair help maximize lifespan. Driveways that fail early usually have base problems or drainage issues that weren’t addressed during installation.

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

The biggest difference is in base preparation and material quality. Cheap jobs often skip proper excavation, use thin asphalt layers, or don’t address drainage. This leads to cracking, settling, and premature failure. Quality paving includes proper base depth, compaction, grading for drainage, and adequate asphalt thickness. The upfront cost difference is usually 20-30%, but quality work lasts twice as long and requires fewer repairs. You’re essentially paying once instead of paying repeatedly for fixes and early replacement.

How long does residential paving installation take to complete?

Most residential driveway paving projects in Lake Grove take 1-2 days to complete. Day one typically involves excavation, base preparation, and grading. Day two covers asphalt installation and finishing work. Larger or more complex driveways might take an additional day. Weather can affect timing, as we can’t pave in rain or extreme temperatures. After installation, you’ll need to keep vehicles off the new asphalt for 24-48 hours while it cures properly.

Do I need permits for driveway paving in Lake Grove?

Most driveway replacement projects in Lake Grove don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries and not changing drainage patterns. However, if you’re expanding the driveway, adding new access points, or significantly altering grading, permits may be required. We handle permit applications when needed and ensure all work meets local codes. It’s always better to check requirements upfront rather than deal with issues later. We’re familiar with Suffolk County requirements and can guide you through the process.

What should I do to prepare for driveway paving work?

Remove all vehicles from the driveway and surrounding areas where our equipment needs access. Clear any items stored near the work area, including garbage cans, planters, or outdoor furniture. Make sure we have clear access to the street and room for our trucks to maneuver. If you have automatic sprinkler systems, mark the heads or let us know their locations. Plan alternative parking for the duration of the project plus 24-48 hours for curing. We’ll handle utility marking and coordinate any other preparations needed.

When is the best time of year for asphalt driveway installation?

Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt paving in Lake Grove. Temperatures between 50-85 degrees allow proper asphalt curing and compaction. We avoid paving during winter months when ground conditions and temperatures aren’t ideal for quality installation. Spring and fall often provide the most consistent weather windows. Summer works well too, though extreme heat can present some challenges. We monitor weather forecasts carefully and will reschedule if conditions aren’t right for quality work.
