Why Driveway Paving Matters in Nassau County
Living in Nassau County, you understand the unique challenges our climate presents. Harsh winters, freeze-thaw cycles, and heavy rainfall can wreak havoc on your driveway.
Over time, asphalt can deteriorate, leading to unsightly cracks, hazardous potholes, and drainage issues.

The All Shore Paving Process
Our driveway paving process is divided into three main areas:
1. New Construction
Building a new asphalt driveway involves several key phases:
- Site Evaluation and Design: We’ll begin by evaluating your property, assessing the soil conditions, and discussing your vision for the driveway. We’ll work together to create a design that complements your home’s architecture and meets your functional needs.
- Excavation and Grading: We’ll carefully excavate the area to the proper depth, remove any unwanted material, and grade the surface to ensure proper drainage and a level foundation.
- Sub-Base Preparation: We’ll install a compacted sub-base of aggregate materials, typically 4-6 inches deep for residential driveways, to provide a stable and durable base for the asphalt layers.
- Binder Course Installation: The binder course is the first layer of asphalt, usually consisting of a Type 7f residential asphalt mix, designed to provide strength and flexibility. The thickness can vary depending on the specific requirements of your project.
- Surface Course Installation: The final layer of asphalt is the surface course, typically 2-3 inches thick for residential driveways, providing a smooth, attractive finish and ensuring a long-lasting driveway. We’ll compact this layer thoroughly to achieve optimal density and durability.
2. Resurfacing (Milling and Overlay)
Resurfacing is a cost-effective option for revitalizing your driveway when the existing asphalt is structurally sound but the surface is showing signs of wear and tear. Our resurfacing process includes:
- Milling: We use a milling machine to remove a thin layer of the existing asphalt, typically 1-2 inches, creating a smooth, even surface for the new overlay.
- Cleaning and Tack Coat Application: We’ll thoroughly clean the milled surface and apply a tack coat, a sticky adhesive that helps bond the new asphalt to the old.
- Leveling Course (if needed): If the existing driveway has significant unevenness, we’ll apply a leveling course to create a smooth, uniform base for the new asphalt.
- Overlay Installation: We’ll install a fresh layer of asphalt, typically 1.5 to 2 inches thick, to create a smooth, durable, and attractive new surface. The specific asphalt mix and compaction will depend on whether the resurfacing is for a residential driveway or a parking lot with higher traffic requirements.
3. Removal and Replacement
In some cases, when the existing driveway is severely damaged or the sub-base is inadequate, complete removal and replacement is the best solution. This process involves:
- Demolition: We’ll carefully remove the existing asphalt and any unsuitable base materials.
- Sub-Base Evaluation and Repair: We’ll assess the existing sub-base and make any necessary repairs or improvements to ensure a solid foundation.
- New Construction: We’ll follow the same steps as for new construction, creating a brand-new driveway that meets the highest quality standards.
At All Shore Paving, our goal is to provide you with a newly paved surface that enhances the beauty of your property and stands the test of time.
We offer comprehensive maintenance and repair services to help you protect your investment and keep your driveway looking its best for years to come.

How much does driveway paving in Nassau County typically cost?
The cost varies depending on several factors, including the size of your driveway, the type of asphalt you choose, the complexity of the project (e.g., if demolition is needed), and any additional features like drainage solutions or decorative borders.
Here’s a breakdown of the main factors that influence the cost:
- Size: This is the most obvious one. A larger driveway will naturally require more materials and labor, increasing the overall cost.
- Type of Asphalt: We offer different types of asphalt, each with its own price point. Standard asphalt is a popular and budget-friendly choice, while high-performance mixes or decorative options like stamped or colored asphalt might be a bit more expensive.
- Preparation Work: If your existing driveway needs to be removed or the ground needs significant grading, that will add to the cost.
- Drainage: Proper drainage is crucial for the longevity of your driveway. If your property requires additional drainage solutions like a French drain or catch basin, that will also factor into the price.
- Special Features: Maybe you want a decorative border, a unique pattern, or a specific type of edging. These extra features can enhance your driveway’s appearance but will also impact the overall cost.
How long does the driveway paving process usually take?
The timeline depends on the scope of the project. A simple resurfacing might take a day or two, while a complete new driveway installation could take a week or more.
Rest assured, we’ll provide you with a clear timeline during your consultation so you know what to expect.
Will my new driveway be able to handle the weight of my vehicles and guests’ cars?
Absolutely! We use high-quality asphalt and carefully engineer the base layer to ensure your driveway can handle even the heaviest vehicles.
We want your driveway to be both beautiful and functional, so we take every step necessary to ensure its strength and durability.
But my driveway is in pretty rough shape! Do I need a complete replacement, or can it be repaired?
It depends on the extent of the damage. Sometimes, a simple resurfacing or patch repair is enough to restore your driveway’s functionality and appearance.
However, if the damage is extensive or the base layer is compromised, a complete replacement might be necessary. During our consultation, we’ll assess the condition of your driveway and recommend the best course of action.
