You know the drill. Spring arrives and your driveway looks like a war zone—cracks spreading like spider webs, potholes deep enough to lose a tire.
That ends here. Our asphalt installation creates a foundation that actually lasts through Quakertown’s freeze-thaw cycles. No more emergency patch jobs every spring or watching your property value tank because of an eyesore driveway.
When we’re done, you get smooth surfaces that handle everything from delivery trucks to Pennsylvania weather. Your neighbors will notice. Your wallet will thank you.
Since 1948, we’ve been paving driveways and parking lots in Quakertown and surrounding Bucks County areas. That’s not a typo—we’ve watched this town grow from a quiet borough to the thriving community it is today.
Owner Mark Harrison personally designs every project. No cookie-cutter approaches or rushed estimates. He understands that your 1965 colonial needs different drainage solutions than the new developments along Route 309.
We’ve completed over 25,000 projects because we treat every job like it’s our own driveway. That means proper base preparation, quality materials, and work that holds up to Pennsylvania’s brutal winters.
First, Mark comes out personally to assess your specific situation. He’s looking at drainage patterns, soil conditions, and how your property connects to the street. No generic estimates here.
Next, we handle all the prep work that other contractors skip. Proper excavation, base installation, and grading that prevent future problems. This is where most paving jobs fail—we don’t cut corners.
Then comes the asphalt installation using materials designed for our local climate. We compact everything properly and ensure drainage works correctly. The result is a surface that handles Pennsylvania weather without falling apart in two years.

We handle everything from small residential driveways to large commercial parking lots. Whether you need a simple overlay or complete reconstruction, we’ve got the equipment and experience.
Quakertown’s mix of historic homes and modern businesses requires different approaches. Those century-old properties near the downtown area need careful drainage solutions. The newer commercial developments along Route 309 require heavy-duty surfaces that handle constant traffic.
Our services include new installation, resurfacing, crack sealing, and full reconstruction. We also handle grading, water management, and custom design work. Every project gets the same attention to detail whether it’s a 20-foot driveway or a 50,000-square-foot parking lot.
Properly installed asphalt should last 15-20 years in Pennsylvania’s climate, but most fails much sooner due to poor installation. The key is proper base preparation and drainage—two things many contractors skip to save time and money.
Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on asphalt. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and creates bigger problems. That’s why we focus heavily on proper drainage and use materials specifically designed for our climate.
The difference between a 5-year driveway and a 20-year driveway comes down to doing the foundation work correctly the first time. We’ve seen too many jobs fail because contractors rushed the prep work.
An overlay adds new asphalt over existing pavement, while reconstruction removes everything and starts fresh. The choice depends on the condition of your current base and drainage.
If your existing asphalt has minor surface issues but a solid foundation, an overlay can save money and extend life significantly. But if you’re dealing with foundation problems, drainage issues, or severe cracking, reconstruction is the only permanent solution.
We assess each situation individually. Sometimes spending a bit more upfront for reconstruction saves thousands in future repairs. Mark will walk your property and explain exactly what you need and why.
Drainage is everything in Pennsylvania. Poor drainage destroys even the best asphalt installation within a few years. We evaluate water flow patterns before any paving begins.
This means looking at how water moves across your property during heavy rains, where it pools, and how it connects to existing drainage systems. Sometimes we need to install drainage solutions or adjust grading before laying any asphalt.
Many contractors ignore drainage because it’s extra work. We build it into every project because we know it’s the difference between a driveway that lasts 5 years versus 20 years.
Most residential driveways take 1-2 days depending on size and complexity. Day one is typically excavation and base work. Day two is asphalt installation and finishing.
We’ll mark utilities before digging, protect your landscaping, and keep you informed throughout the process. You’ll need to park elsewhere during installation, and we recommend staying off the new asphalt for 24-48 hours.
Weather can affect timing—we don’t install asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too cold. We’d rather reschedule than compromise the quality of your installation.
Costs vary significantly based on size, current condition, and complexity. A simple overlay might run $3-5 per square foot, while complete reconstruction with drainage work can be $8-12 per square foot.
The cheapest bid usually means corners will be cut somewhere—thin asphalt, poor base prep, or skipped drainage work. These shortcuts create expensive problems later.
We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re getting. No surprises or hidden costs. Mark will explain every line item so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. The specific terms depend on the type of project and materials used.
For new installations, we typically offer 2-year warranties on workmanship and longer coverage on materials. This covers issues like premature cracking, settling, or drainage problems that result from installation errors.
We’re confident in our work because we don’t cut corners during installation. When you do the job right the first time, warranty claims are rare. Most of our warranty service involves minor touch-ups rather than major repairs.
