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.

North Sea’s coastal location means your driveway faces unique challenges. Salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy summer heat all affect how asphalt performs. We factor in these local conditions when planning every job.

Our crew has seen every type of driveway problem Long Island can throw at you. We know which materials hold up, how to handle drainage issues, and what it takes to create a surface that lasts.

How We Handle Your Driveway Project

We start with a site evaluation to understand your specific situation. Soil conditions, drainage patterns, and existing surface issues all matter for the final result.

Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This foundation work determines how long your driveway will last. We don’t cut corners here because everything else depends on getting this right.

The asphalt installation follows industry standards with proper compaction and finishing. We time everything around weather conditions because temperature and humidity affect the final quality. After completion, we clean up completely and explain proper curing procedures so you know what to expect.

A properly installed asphalt driveway typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, quality materials, and professional installation techniques. Long Island’s climate can be tough on asphalt, but when the foundation is right and drainage is handled correctly, you get decades of reliable service. Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years helps extend the life even further by protecting against water penetration and UV damage.
Asphalt is more flexible and handles freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete, which matters here on Long Island. It’s also more cost-effective and easier to repair if issues develop. Concrete can crack from ground movement and is harder to fix when problems occur. Asphalt also provides better traction in wet conditions and doesn’t show salt stains as readily. For most residential applications, asphalt offers better long-term value and performance in our climate.
Residential paving costs depend on several factors including driveway size, current condition, access difficulty, and any special requirements like drainage work. Most homeowners invest between $3-7 per square foot for quality asphalt installation. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. The investment pays back through increased property value, reduced maintenance costs, and avoiding the expense of frequent repairs that come with cheaper installation.
Late spring through early fall provides the best conditions for asphalt installation. The material needs warm temperatures to cure properly, and we need dry weather for optimal results. However, we can often work during mild winter periods if conditions are right. Planning ahead is important because good contractors stay busy during peak season. If you’re thinking about a new driveway, contacting us early helps ensure we can schedule your project when conditions are ideal.
Permit requirements depend on the scope of your project and local regulations. Simple repaving usually doesn’t require permits, but new driveways or significant changes to drainage patterns might. We’re familiar with North Sea requirements and handle permit applications when needed. This ensures your project meets all local codes and avoids potential issues down the road. We’ll let you know upfront if permits are required and factor any associated costs into your estimate.
You can typically walk on new asphalt within a few hours, but vehicles should stay off for at least 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions. Hot weather requires longer curing time, while cooler temperatures allow earlier access. We’ll give you specific guidance based on conditions during your installation. Heavy vehicles or turning wheels while the surface is still soft can create permanent marks, so patience during the initial curing period protects your investment and ensures the best long-term results.
