Every job below is one we do ourselves across Brooklyn.
Full-depth asphalt paving for driveways, lots and access roads, built on a compacted gravel base with a binder course and a wear course on top. We grade for drainage before any asphalt goes down, so water moves off the surface instead of sitting on it.
New driveways poured to at least 2 to 3 inches of compacted asphalt over a properly graded base, not laid straight over old dirt or a crumbling slab. We set the slope away from the garage door and any foundation walls.
A sand-filled sealer applied over cured asphalt to slow down UV damage, oil staining and the raveling that comes from salt in winter. Best done every 2 to 3 years on a driveway, sooner on a lot that sees heavy traffic or plow salt.
Hot rubberized crack filler for cracks under half an inch, routed out first so the filler bonds instead of sitting on top. Cracks left open let water into the base, and that's what turns a hairline crack into a pothole by spring.
We cut a clean square around the damaged asphalt, remove it down to the base, and replace the base material if it's washed out before repaving the patch. Throwing cold patch into a pothole without fixing the base underneath just buys you a few months.
Milling off the top 1 to 2 inches of worn asphalt and laying a new wear course over what's left, when the base underneath is still solid. Cheaper than a full tear-out and it resets the surface for another decade if the cracking hasn't gone deep.
Paving sized and sloped for the weight class using the lot, with catch basins and drain lines checked before the asphalt goes down. Includes striping layout for parking spaces, fire lanes and ADA-compliant spots where required.
Targeted patching for isolated failures, like a spot where a delivery truck sits too long or asphalt near a drain that's broken down faster than the rest. Cheaper than resurfacing the whole lot when the damage hasn't spread.
Repainting faded lines and numbers, or laying out a new lot from scratch with parking stall widths, drive aisles and ADA spaces to code. We use traffic paint rated to hold color and grip through a New York winter.
Sunken asphalt near a catch basin, water main trench or old tree root usually means the base settled, not just the surface wearing out. We dig out the low spot, rebuild the base with proper compaction, and repave it level with the surrounding asphalt.
Four steps, and no surprises in any of them.
You tell us what you want doing, we look at what is actually there, and we ask the awkward questions early.
In writing, itemised, free. If something might add cost later we flag it now rather than at the end.
Same crew throughout. We cover your floors, keep the dust down and tidy up before we leave each day.
You point out anything you are not happy with and we fix it before the invoice, not after.
