Asphalt Driveway Installation Process

Here's Exactly How We Handle Your Project

We start with a site visit to assess your current driveway situation and discuss what you need. No high-pressure sales pitch, just an honest evaluation of what needs to happen and what it’ll cost.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where corners get cut on bad jobs, so we take our time getting the foundation right. Proper grading ensures water drains away from your house, and the right base material prevents settling and cracking down the road.

Then we install the asphalt using professional-grade equipment and materials designed for residential driveways. We compact everything properly and finish with clean edges that look professional. The whole process typically takes one to two days depending on size, and you can usually drive on it within 24 hours.

How long does a new asphalt driveway last in Riverhead?

A properly installed asphalt driveway in Riverhead typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance. Long Island’s climate can be tough on pavement with freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat, but quality installation with proper base preparation makes all the difference. The key factors are using the right thickness of asphalt for your traffic load, ensuring proper drainage, and sealing the surface every few years. Driveways that fail early usually have base problems or were installed too thin to handle the weather cycles we get here.

What's the difference between asphalt and concrete for residential driveways?

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete, which matters here on Long Island. It’s also easier to repair if you get settling or small cracks. Concrete lasts longer but costs significantly more and can crack badly when the ground shifts. For most homeowners in Riverhead, asphalt gives you the best value – it looks good, performs well in our climate, and doesn’t break the budget. The maintenance is straightforward too, mainly periodic sealing and occasional crack filling.

How much does driveway paving cost in Riverhead NY?

Residential driveway paving in Riverhead typically runs $3-7 per square foot depending on the scope of work. A standard two-car driveway replacement usually falls between $2,500-5,500. The price depends on whether we’re paving over existing asphalt or starting from scratch, how much excavation is needed, and the thickness required. We always provide written estimates that break down exactly what’s included so you know what you’re paying for. Beware of quotes that seem too good to be true – they usually are.

When is the best time of year to pave a driveway?

Late spring through early fall is ideal for asphalt paving in Riverhead. We need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees for proper installation and curing. Summer and early fall are actually preferred because the asphalt stays workable longer and compacts better in warm weather. Winter paving is possible during mild stretches, but spring and summer give you the best results. If you’re planning a project, booking in early spring for summer installation usually gets you the best scheduling options.

Do I need permits for driveway paving in Riverhead?

Most driveway replacement projects in Riverhead don’t require permits if you’re staying within the existing footprint. However, if you’re expanding the driveway, changing the drainage pattern, or connecting to a town road, permits may be required. We handle permit applications when needed and know the local requirements. It’s always better to check first rather than deal with code enforcement issues later. The town of Riverhead has specific setback requirements and drainage rules that we make sure to follow on every job.

How do I maintain my new asphalt driveway?

Keep your new driveway clean and seal it every 2-3 years to protect against water penetration and UV damage. Avoid parking in the same spots all the time if possible, and clean up oil spills quickly since petroleum products can soften asphalt. Fill small cracks before they become big problems – water getting into cracks and freezing is what causes most driveway damage here. Don’t use rock salt in winter; sand or calcium chloride is gentler on asphalt. With basic care, your driveway will look good and last for decades.
