Most homeowners in Yonkers wait to long. They see a small crack in October, figure they’ll deal with it in spring, then winter hits and that crack becomes a pothole. We get calls every March from folks in Ludlow and Homefield saying “it wasnt this bad in November!”

Asphalt Paving & Repair Done Right

Here’s what seperates good asphalt paving yonkers ny work from the stuff that fails in two years – proper base preparation. We see competitors all the time skip this step to save time. They’ll pave right over a weak base, collect their money, and disappear when problems show up.
Our asphalt paving & repair process starts 6 inches below what you see. We excavate, grade properly so water runs OFF your driveway (not toward your foundation), compact the base until its solid, then lay asphalt in two lifts. The first layer is your structure, the second is your surface.
For repairs, we don’t just patch over problems. If your driveways failing in one spot, theres usually a reason – maybe tree roots, maybe poor drainage, maybe the base was never done right. We fix the actual problem, not just cover it up.

Asphalt Paving Projects Around Yonkers

A few months ago we repaved a driveway off South Broadway near the Untermeyer Gardens. The homeowner had three different companies patch it over five years, and it kept failing. Turned out water was pooling underneath because the driveway sloped the wrong way. We regraded everything, installed proper drainage, and now its actually solving the problem instead of hiding it.
Over in Park Hill, we did a parking lot for a small business that was embarassed about all the potholes. Their customers were complaining. We worked nights and weekends so they didnt lose business hours. Finished in four days, and they texted us photos of the first rain showing water running off perfectly.

Questions People Actually Ask About Asphalt Paving

How long does asphalt last in Yonkers?
With proper installation and maintenance, 20-25 years easy. But only if the base is done right and you sealcoat every 3-4 years. Skip the sealcoating and your looking at 10-12 years max.

Whats the difference between patching and repaving?

Patching is temporary – your filling holes but not fixing why their happening. Full repaving means starting fresh with proper base work. If more than 30% of your driveway is damaged, repaving usually makes more sense money-wise.

Can you pave in winter?

Not really. Asphalt needs to be laid when its above 50 degrees and staying that way. We do emergency repairs in winter using cold patch, but real asphalt paving yonkers ny work happens April through October.

What Makes A Good Paving Contractor In Yonkers

You want someone who pulls permits when their required (most residential driveways dont need them, but commercial work does). You want insurance – both liability and workers comp. And you want references from actual Yonkers jobs, not just a list of towns they “serve.”
Ask to see a job in progress. Good contractors dont mind. You’ll see if they have real equipment or just a pickup truck and some hand tools. You’ll see if theres actually a crew or just one guy subcontracting everything.

Seasonal Tips For Yonkers Homeowners

Spring is when you’ll notice winter damage. Walk your driveway in April and mark any new cracks with spray paint. Small cracks under a quarter inch? Sealcoat can handle them. Bigger? Call us for a real assessment.
Summer is paving season. Its when asphalt plants are running full time and weather cooperates. Book early though – June and July fill up fast, especially in neighborhoods like Crestwood and Lawrence Park West where everyones updating their homes.
Fall is your last chance. We can pave into late October if weathers good, but November is pushing it. Don’t be the person calling in December asking if we can squeeze you in.

Why Asphalt Instead Of Concrete

People ask this alot. Concrete costs almost double for driveways. It cracks just as easy in our climate, and repairs look obvious forever. Asphalt is flexible, handles freeze-thaw better, and when maintained properly, looks good for decades.
Plus asphalt repairs blend in. After a year of weathering, you cant tell where we patched. Concrete patches stick out like a sore thumb.
