Built to Last
When it's time to build new, overlay a tired surface, or fully replace failed pavement, details matter: soil, base, compaction, mix, thickness, drainage, and striping. We handle the whole scope—from demo and grading to the final roller pass and paint—so you get a smooth, safe surface that stays that way.
Our Services
Residential Driveways
New Driveway Installation – Site grading, base build (stone depth set by soil/loads), engineered slopes to shed water away from structures.
Asphalt Overlay – Mill/tack as needed, correct birdbaths/high spots, overlay with specified lift thickness.
Full-Depth Replacement – Demo to subgrade, rebuild base, geotextile (as needed), new binder & surface courses.
Options – Aprons, edging, transitions to garage/road, trench drains where required.
Commercial Parking Lots
New Lot Construction – Layout, staking, grading, base, curb reveal, binder & surface courses sized to traffic loads.
Overlay Programs – Milling (partial/full) + tack, leveling course, surface course, joint ties to concrete/adjacent pavements.
Tear-Out & Rebuild – Phased demo, subgrade remediation, proof-rolling, base stabilization if needed, new section.
Striping & Compliance – ADA stalls/aisles, fire lanes, stop bars, signage posts, wheel stops, numbering.
What "Done Right" Means
Our engineering-minded approach ensures every layer is built to spec
Subgrade & Base
Proof-roll, remediate soft spots, minimum compacted base depth set by soil & use.
Compaction
Vibratory steel drum + plate/tamper on edges; density targets achieved course-by-course.
Asphalt Mix & Thickness
DOT spec binder and surface courses; lift thickness tailored to traffic and climate.
Joints & Edges
Tack coats at all cold joints, clean saw-cut tie-ins, well-confined edges for durability.
Drainage
Built-in slope (typically 1–2%) to inlets or daylight; no birdbaths.
Finish
Tight mat, uniform texture, clean seams—ready for striping/opening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Overlay or replace—how do I decide?
If your base is sound and grades are correct, an overlay can be ideal. Alligator cracking, base failure, or drainage issues usually call for full-depth replacement.
How thick is the asphalt?
Depends on use. Typical residential: binder + surface or surface-only overlay; commercial: heavier sections for delivery/garbage routes.
How long until we can drive/park?
Residential driveways commonly 24–48 hours for light use; commercial openings are phased per section and load.
Do you handle striping & ADA?
Yes—layout, stencils, signage, and code-compliant dimensions are included in scope if specified.
Permits?
If your town/borough requires them for curb cuts, aprons, or lot work, we'll help coordinate.
