Asphalt paving

Driveways that stay flat for twenty years.

New driveways for builders and full replacements for homeowners. The difference between a driveway that lasts and one that cracks in three winters is the base, and we don't skip it.

New asphalt driveway

For homeowners

If your driveway is cracked, sunken near the garage, or heaving at the edges, patching won't fix it. We excavate the old asphalt, rebuild and compact the gravel base, correct the pitch so water runs away from the house, and lay new hot-mix asphalt. Most residential driveways are done in two days.

  • Tear-out and haul-away of old asphalt
  • New or re-compacted gravel base
  • Regrading for drainage
  • Widening, turnarounds and extra parking
  • Granite, cobblestone or Belgian block edging

For builders

We work with builders across the North Shore on single lots and subdivisions. Binder course goes down so you can get the certificate of occupancy, top course when landscaping and heavy traffic are finished. Our own equipment means no waiting on a sub's sub.

  • Two-phase binder / top coat
  • Grading and base to spec
  • Aprons, curbs and walkways
  • Multi-lot pricing

How a paving job goes

1

Estimate

We come out, measure, check drainage and the existing base, and give a written price.

2

Excavate & grade

Old asphalt out, base gravel in and compacted, pitched so water runs off.

3

Pave

Hot-mix asphalt laid with our own paver and rolled to a smooth, dense finish.

4

Cure

Stay off it for 3 days, no parking in one spot for a week or two in hot weather. Seal after the first year.
