Asphalt Paving & Repair

We do asphalt paving and repair all over the city – from the small residential streets near Getty Square to the bigger properties up in Crestwood. The repair work usually involves cutting out the damaged section, making sure the base is solid (this is where alot of contractors cut corners), and then laying new asphalt that actually bonds with the old material.
New paving is different. This involves a complete resurface or brand new installation. For driveways, this means grading it right so water runs off toward the street, not your foundation. We learned this the hard way on a job in Ludlow back in 2019 – homeowner kept getting water in their basement until we fixed the slope.

Asphalt Milling

Most people don’t know about milling, but its probly the smartest thing you can do before repaving. We use a special machine that grinds off the top layer of old asphalt, usually about 2 inches. This does two things: keeps your driveway at the right height (so your garage door still clears), and gives you a perfect surface for the new layer to stick to.
We do alot of milling work for the apartment complexes near Bronx River Road. Those parking lots see heavy traffic, and milling lets us keep everything level without tearing up curbs or catch basins. Plus the millings get recycled, which the property managers like cause it sounds good in their reports.
Parking Lot Repair & Maintenance
Every shopping center manager in Yonkers deals with the same headache – liability. One person trips in a pothole at your parking lot, and now you got problems. We work with several commercial properties around South Broadway, and the main thing is staying ahead of it.
Regular sealcoating every 2-3 years. Crack filling before winter. Patching the high-traffic areas near entrances where cars stop and turn alot. For parking lot repair and maintenance, the entrance lanes always wear out first cause tires are turning there under load. We plan for that.

Asphalt Reclamation

This is the one that saves people money. Instead of hauling away your old asphalt and buying new material, we pulverize whats there and mix it with the soil underneath. Add some binder, compact it down, and you got a solid base layer. Then we pave over it.
Asphalt reclamation works great for longer driveways like the ones you see in the north end near the Greystone train station. Those quarter-mile driveways cost a fortune to repave traditionally. Reclamation cuts that cost way down cause your not paying for material removal and disposal.
We’ve used this method on three municipal jobs. Parks departments love it because it kept trucks off of residential streets. Less traffic, less noise, less money. Everybody wins.

Driveway Repairs

Common driveway problems we see in Yonkers:

Edge cracking where grass meets asphalt (fix: proper edge support)
Sunken areas over old utility trenches (fix: excavate and recompact)
Alligator cracking from a bad base (fix: usually need to repave that section)
Potholes at the apron where you enter from the street (fix: heavy-duty patch or replacement)

The tricky ones are the driveways that were installed wrong from the start. We’ve seen driveways in Homefield that are just asphalt over dirt. No stone base, no fabric, nothing. Those fail within five years guaranteed.
For driveway repairs, we always check the base first. If its solid, we can work with it. If its compromised, your throwing money away on patches that won’t last.

Commercial Parking Lots

Commercial parking lots need to handle much more than residential driveways. Thousands of vehicle passes per week, shopping carts, and snow plows scraping across the surface every winter are standard. The asphalt mix has to be tougher, the base has to be thicker, and the drainage has to actually work.
We do commercial parking lots for businesses all over Yonkers – retail, medical offices, apartment buildings. The biggest mistake property owners make is waiting too long between maintenance cycles. Once the surface oxidizes and starts crumbling, your looking at major repairs instead of simple sealcoating.
Striping matters too. Faded lines mean confusion, and confusion means accidents. We restripe parking lots after every paving job, and we recommend doing it seperately every few years even if the asphalt looks okay.

The other issue with commercial work is timing. We’ve repaved parking lots overnight so businesses could open the next morning. We’ve done sectional work where we close off half the lot while keeping the other half open. You work around the customer’s schedule cause they’re losing money every hour that lot is closed.

Why Asphalt Fails in Yonkers (And What We Do About It)

The Saw Mill Parkway wasn’t built for how many cars use it now, and neither was your driveway built for the weather we’re getting. Hotter summers, wetter springs, those random February thaws that turn into freezes again. Asphalt expands and contracts, and every cycle weakens it a little bit.
We use asphalt mixes rated for our climate. Polymer-modified for high-traffic areas. Proper tack coat between layers. Compaction that actually meets spec instead of “looks good enough.” These details matter when your trying to get 15-20 years out of a driveway instead of 7-8.

Serving All of Yonkers and the Surrounding Area

We’ve done paving work in every neighborhood – Lincoln Park, Runyon Heights, Nepperhan, Bronxville Heights. Each area has its quirks. The older sections near downtown have narrow driveways and tight access. The hillier areas toward Hastings need extra attention to drainage. We know these streets cause we drive them every day.
If your driveway is cracking, your parking lot is falling apart, or you just want somebody to look at it and tell you straight what needs doing, give us a call. We’ll come out, we’ll tell you what we see, and we’ll give you options that actually make sense for your budget.
No pressure. No runaround. Just honest asphalt paving services from people who’ve been doing this in Yonkers long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.
