What You Get With Professional Paving

Your driveway stops being a problem. No more dodging potholes or worrying about what visitors think when they pull up to your house.

A properly installed asphalt driveway handles everything Long Island throws at it. Heavy snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat – it all rolls off a surface that’s built right from the ground up.

You’ll notice the difference immediately. Smooth access in and out of your garage. Water that drains where it should instead of pooling near your foundation. A clean, professional appearance that actually adds value to your property instead of detracting from it.

Here's How We Handle Your Project

We start with proper excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems begin, so we don’t cut corners here. The existing surface comes out, we grade for proper drainage, and install a solid foundation.

Next comes the asphalt installation using professional-grade equipment. We’re not patching or overlaying old problems – you get a completely new surface that’s smooth, even, and properly compacted.

Final step is cleanup and any finishing touches like sealing edges or adjusting grade transitions. Your driveway is ready to use, and your property looks better than when we started.

How long does a new asphalt driveway last in Melville?

A properly installed asphalt driveway in Melville typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance. The key is proper base preparation and using quality materials that can handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles. Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years helps extend the life, but the foundation work we do upfront is what really determines longevity. Cheaper installations that skip base prep might look fine initially but start failing within 5-7 years.

What's the best time of year for driveway paving in NY?

Late spring through early fall works best for asphalt installation in New York. We need consistent temperatures above 50 degrees for proper compaction and curing. Most homeowners schedule projects between April and October, with peak season in summer months. Winter installations are possible during mild stretches, but spring scheduling gives you the full season to enjoy your new driveway before the next winter hits.

How much does residential paving cost for a typical Melville home?

Residential paving costs in Melville typically range from $3-7 per square foot depending on the scope of work needed. A standard two-car driveway runs about $2,500-5,000 for complete replacement. Factors that affect pricing include excavation requirements, drainage needs, and site access. We provide written estimates after seeing your specific situation because every driveway has different challenges and requirements.

Do you handle driveway repairs or just full replacement?

We handle both repairs and full replacement, but we’re honest about what makes sense for your situation. Small cracks and minor damage can often be repaired cost-effectively. However, if your driveway has multiple issues, widespread cracking, or drainage problems, replacement usually provides better long-term value. We’ll assess your current condition and recommend the approach that makes the most financial sense for you.

How do you ensure proper drainage with new driveway installation?

Proper drainage starts with correct grading during excavation. We slope the surface away from your house and garage, typically at a 2% grade minimum. If your property has drainage challenges, we can install catch basins or adjust the grade to direct water to appropriate areas. Poor drainage is one of the biggest causes of premature driveway failure, so we pay close attention to water flow patterns around your property.

What should I expect during the paving process at my home?

Most residential paving projects take 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base prep – this is the messiest part. Asphalt installation usually happens on day two, and you can drive on it within 24-48 hours. We’ll coordinate with you on parking and access since you’ll need alternative arrangements during installation. Our crew handles cleanup daily and leaves your property neat when the project is complete.
