Services
Asphalt Paving
Our asphalt paving combines traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering for durable, long-lasting surfaces. We handle projects from residential driveways to commercial parking lots, using high-quality materials and precise installation techniques. Our team ensures proper compaction and drainage to maximize pavement longevity while meeting NYSDOT and FHWA standards.
Drainage Solutions
We install geotextile-reinforced sub-base systems to prevent water damage and structural failure. Our engineers design customized drainage plans using layered stone compaction and moisture barriers that meet environmental regulations. These systems reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of your pavement by preventing water infiltration.
Decorative Pavement
Transform ordinary asphalt into visually striking surfaces with our decorative options. We offer stamped patterns mimicking brick or cobblestone, colored coatings, and thermoplastic designs. These treatments enhance property value while maintaining the durability of traditional asphalt, with options compliant with ADA accessibility standards.
Seal Coating
Our commercial and residential seal coating services protect asphalt from UV damage, oil spills, and weathering. We apply high-performance coatings that restore surface appearance and extend pavement life by 3-5 years per application when maintained regularly.
Excavation
We provide complete excavation services for new paving projects, including precise grading and sub-base preparation. Our equipment handles projects of all sizes, ensuring proper foundation density and slope for optimal drainage and structural integrity before asphalt installation.
