Troy is the seat of Rensselaer County and sits on the east bank of the Hudson River, where the terrain rises steeply from the waterfront into hillside neighborhoods. Much of the city's housing was built before World War II, and the average home in Troy is well over 80 years old. Neighborhoods like South Central, Lansingburgh, and the Hill feature Victorian rowhouses, converted multi-family buildings, and narrow lots where driveways run alongside the house rather than in front of it. The combination of steep grades in hillside areas and aging asphalt that has never been properly sealed creates conditions where water channels down the driveway surface and accelerates base erosion.

Asphalt Contractor
Troy's hillside neighborhoods present a grading challenge that flat suburban driveways do not. A sloped driveway that is not properly graded channels water directly toward the foundation. We cut and grade each hillside driveway so water sheds to the sides rather than running straight down the slope and pooling at the base of the house.
The pre-war housing stock in neighborhoods like South Central and Lansingburgh means many driveways are original or have been patched so many times that the surface is uneven and the base has shifted. A top and binder install gives these driveways a proper structural foundation before the finish layer goes down, which is especially important on sloped lots where the base takes more stress.
Troy's commercial corridors along River Street and Route 4 through Lansingburgh have parking lots and aprons that see heavy truck traffic year-round. Parking lot paving on these sites requires a thicker base and heavier asphalt mix than a residential driveway. We spec the right mix for the load and traffic pattern on each commercial site.

Driveway paving and driveway resurfacing are the primary services needed across Troy's older neighborhoods, where decades of freeze-thaw damage and deferred maintenance have left many driveways cracked, heaved, or fully failed. Top and binder installs are well suited to Troy's hillside driveways, where a proper binder course provides the structural layer needed before the top coat is applied on sloped surfaces. Sidewalk and apron paving is frequently part of the same project in Troy's dense urban grid. Parking lot paving serves the commercial corridors along River Street and the Route 4 corridor through North Troy and Lansingburgh.

Common questions from Troy, NY customers about our services, process, and coverage.
Sloped driveways channel water downhill with every rain and snowmelt event. If the asphalt is cracked or unsealed, that water enters the base layer and erodes it from below. Freeze-thaw cycles then heave the weakened base, causing the surface to crack and shift faster than it would on a flat lot.
A top and binder install uses two layers of asphalt — a coarser binder course for structural strength and a finer top course for a smooth finished surface. On Troy's older and sloped driveways, the binder layer provides the foundation needed to handle the grade and the weight of vehicles without the surface cracking prematurely.
Yes. Sidewalk and apron paving is a standard part of driveway projects in Troy's urban neighborhoods. We handle the full surface from the street apron through the driveway so the finished work is level and consistent.
Yes. We handle parking lot paving and parking lot sealcoating for commercial properties along Troy's River Street corridor and the Route 4 commercial strip through Lansingburgh. High-traffic commercial lots require a heavier base and asphalt mix than residential driveways, and we spec each project accordingly.
