Services
Driveway Paving
New asphalt driveway construction involves excavation, grading, aggregate base installation, and hot mix asphalt application. We handle complete removal and replacement of deteriorated surfaces, ensuring proper drainage and compaction. Our temperature-controlled paving process prevents fracturing while meeting specific property needs.
Pavement Sealing
Protective sealcoating extends pavement lifespan by creating a flexible barrier against water penetration, UV oxidation, and chemical damage. This cost-effective treatment prevents cracks, enhances aesthetics, and improves water runoff while maintaining skid resistance for safer surfaces.
Excavating
Full-service excavation for driveways, parking lots, and foundations includes grading, material hauling, and site preparation. We handle residential and commercial projects with precision grading for proper drainage and base stability before paving operations begin.
Resurfacing
Professional resurfacing restores worn asphalt surfaces using modern equipment and techniques. We address cracks, potholes, and surface deterioration through milling and overlay applications, extending pavement life while improving appearance and functionality for residential and commercial properties.
Snow Plowing
Commercial and residential snow removal services include plowing, hauling, and de-icing applications. We maintain safe access during winter months using sand and salt treatments, with emergency response capabilities for storm events and contracted seasonal service options.

Questions
Why should I seal my pavement?
Sealcoating protects asphalt from water damage, UV oxidation, and chemical spills while extending surface lifespan and maintaining skid resistance for safer use.
How soon after paving can I use my new driveway?
Walk on it immediately, but keep vehicles off for 3 days (longer in hot weather) to allow proper asphalt curing and hardening.
What causes scarring on asphalt surfaces?
Rapid turns, acceleration, and heavy equipment cause surface damage. Avoid these actions during the first year while asphalt cures and hardens completely.
How often should pavement be sealed?
Every 2-4 years depending on traffic volume and weather exposure. Proper sealing intervals significantly extend pavement lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.
What maintenance is needed for new asphalt?
Avoid chemical spills, protect edges with landscaping, and schedule professional sealcoating every 2-3 years to maximize durability and appearance.
Do I need professional crack sealing?
Professional crack sealing prevents water infiltration and expansion damage. DIY options exist, but professional application ensures proper material selection and long-term effectiveness.
