What You Get With Professional Installation

Your driveway should make your life easier, not harder. When we install your asphalt driveway, you get a smooth surface that drains properly and won’t crack apart after the first winter.

No more dodging potholes every time you pull in. No more water pooling that turns into ice sheets. No more embarrassment when guests see your crumbling driveway.

Instead, you get a clean, professional surface that adds real value to your property. Your car sits level, your kids can ride bikes safely, and you actually look forward to pulling into your own driveway.

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.

We’ve seen every type of driveway failure you can imagine. Poor drainage that creates ice rinks. Thin asphalt that cracks after one winter. Improper grading that sends water toward your foundation instead of away from it.

That’s exactly why we do things differently. We use the right materials, proper thickness, and correct installation methods that work with Middle Island’s soil conditions and climate.

Our Driveway Installation Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we evaluate your existing driveway and drainage situation. We check the base, measure the area, and identify any issues that need addressing before we start.

Next, we remove old asphalt if needed and prepare the base properly. This step matters more than most people realize. A solid foundation is what separates driveways that last from ones that fail.

Then we install your new asphalt at the right thickness for residential use. We grade everything for proper drainage and compact it correctly. Finally, we clean up completely and explain how to maintain your new driveway.

What's Included in Your Project

Every residential paving project includes proper excavation, base preparation, and asphalt installation at the thickness your driveway needs. We handle permits if required and coordinate with utility companies when necessary.

You also get proper drainage grading so water flows away from your home and foundation. This prevents the pooling and ice formation that destroy driveways and create safety hazards.

We use commercial-grade equipment even on residential jobs because it produces better results. Your driveway gets the same quality installation we’d use for a commercial parking lot, just scaled to your home’s needs.

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. We remove old asphalt on day one if needed, then install your new driveway on day two. Weather can affect timing, especially if we get rain during your project. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. You can typically drive on your new driveway within 24-48 hours, though we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy vehicles or making sharp turns.
We typically install 2-3 inches of asphalt for residential driveways, depending on your specific situation. If you have heavy vehicles or commercial trucks making deliveries, we might recommend 3 inches. For standard family use, 2.5 inches over a properly prepared base works well. The base preparation matters just as much as asphalt thickness. We make sure you have adequate stone base and proper compaction before we install any asphalt. Skimping on thickness or base prep is how driveways fail prematurely.
Residential driveway paving typically costs between $3-7 per square foot, depending on your specific project requirements. Factors that affect price include current driveway condition, drainage needs, accessibility, and total square footage. If we need to remove existing asphalt or address drainage issues, that adds to the cost. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges or hidden fees after we start your project.
Late spring through early fall gives us the best conditions for asphalt installation. We need temperatures above 50 degrees and dry weather for optimal results. Summer and early fall are ideal because the asphalt stays workable longer and compacts better in warm weather. We can work in cooler weather if needed, but hot asphalt performs best when it’s not fighting cold temperatures. Winter paving is possible but not ideal. We’ll be honest about weather conditions and recommend the best timing for your specific project.
We handle both repairs and full replacement, depending on your driveway’s condition. Minor cracks and small potholes can often be repaired cost-effectively. But if your driveway has widespread cracking, drainage issues, or base problems, replacement usually makes more sense long-term. We’ll assess your current driveway honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes patching buys you a few more years. Other times, it’s throwing money at a problem that will keep getting worse. We’ll tell you which situation you’re dealing with.
We warranty our workmanship and stand behind every residential paving project we complete. The specific warranty terms depend on your project scope and the materials used. We’ll explain your warranty coverage in detail before starting work so you know exactly what’s covered and for how long. If something goes wrong due to our installation, we’ll fix it. That said, we focus on doing the job right the first time using proper materials and installation methods. Prevention beats warranty claims every time, and quality work rarely needs warranty service.
