Asphalt Paving Services in Binghamton, NY
Asphalt (as·phalt /'asphalt/ noun)
Our asphalt paving services in Binghamton, NY, are trusted for delivering durable, smooth, and long-lasting surfaces, whether for driveways or parking lots. This durability comes from asphaltic concrete (commonly called Blacktop), a mixture of sand, stone (aggregate), and heated liquid Asphalt Cement (AC), which creates a flexible yet tough surface perfect for the Greater Binghamton area.
Asphalt Cement, a by-product of oil refining, has risen in price along with oil costs. However, asphalt remains the most economical and reliable paving option available.
With the constant ground movement caused by freeze and thaw cycles in upstate New York, asphalt provides the flexibility needed for durable driveways and parking lots in cities like Binghamton, Vestal, Endicott, and Johnson City. Properly installed and maintained asphalt can last 20 years or more, making it the perfect solution for your paving needs.

Paving the Way
Most older pavers have warped screeds from repeated overheating, preventing a smooth finish. Our team uses a brand-new 2013 Leeboy Paving Machine, a state-of-the-art tool that produces laser-smooth asphalt mats.

It's How We Roll
Our roller technology allows us to achieve precise compaction in tight spaces—for example, right next to homes, curbs, and other obstructions—where other companies often leave gaps of 6 inches or more. This cutting-edge equipment produces strong, long-lasting asphalt surfaces.

Crusher Run
Crusher Run is a dense mixture of crushed stone and stone dust, providing a nearly impermeable, compact base layer for asphalt installations. This nearly impermeable layer serves as a reliable foundation for durable asphalt driveways that do not have issues with water running underneath.

ASHTO 57
ASHTO 57 stone compacts into a firm sub-base and is specially designed to allow water to drain underneath asphalt installations. By using this material, we ensure proper water drainage, both above and below the surface.

Construction of a Driveway
A proper driveway consists of multiple precise layers to ensure strength and longevity:
- Prepared Subgrade: The first step is grading the soil to the right depth and pitch to allow for proper water drainage.
- Aggregate Base Course: We use materials like Crusher Run or ASHTO 57, both of which provide unparalleled strength compared to cheaper alternatives in the area.
- Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Binder Course: This layer combines larger stones with hot Asphalt Cement for added strength. We apply 3 inches of binder.
- HMA Surface Course (Top Coat): This final layer, also known as "item 7," enhances both the aesthetics and water resistance of your driveway.
Even properly compacted asphalt is porous; it is vital to keep water out of the asphalt mat. To ensure maximum durability, we recommend sealcoating one year after installation. This additional layer waterproofs the surface and protects your asphalt investment for years to come.
