Professional Asphalt Paving on Long Island

Asphalt remains one of the most practical and cost-effective driveway surfaces for Long Island homeowners — and when it’s properly installed on a correctly prepared base, a quality asphalt driveway can deliver fifteen to twenty-five years of reliable service. The problem is that not all asphalt work is done with the same attention to base preparation and mix quality. Melfi Masonry brings the same standard of preparation and quality control to asphalt paving that we bring to every other masonry service — because the base is everything, regardless of what surface goes on top.

We install new asphalt driveways, resurface existing driveways that are past their sealing prime, repair potholes and settled areas, and install asphalt parking areas for residential and light commercial properties throughout Nassau and Suffolk County. Every new installation begins with proper excavation and a compacted gravel base — the step that determines whether an asphalt driveway lasts a decade or starts crumbling after a few winters. We use commercial-grade hot-mix asphalt, properly compacted with roller equipment, not hand-tamped sections that leave a wavy, uneven surface.

We also pair asphalt driveways with masonry features that elevate the overall look and define the property entrance. A bluestone or brick apron at the entrance — where the driveway meets the street — dramatically improves the curb appeal of an asphalt driveway at relatively modest cost. Cobblestone or paver borders along the edges of an asphalt driveway contain the material, prevent edge crumbling, and give the driveway a finished, polished look. These masonry-asphalt combinations are extremely popular throughout Nassau County and are something Melfi Masonry is uniquely positioned to deliver as both a masonry and paving contractor.

Whether you need a new asphalt driveway from the ground up, a resurfacing over a structurally sound base, or a combination asphalt and masonry entrance design, Melfi Masonry delivers the quality and durability Long Island properties demand.
