Commercial Asphalt Paving in Saratoga Springs, NY

RDM Construction paves, resurfaces, and maintains commercial asphalt across Saratoga County and the Capital Region. We build new lots and roads, extend the life of the pavement you already have, and keep it under a maintenance program so you replace it on your schedule instead of an emergency one. We also pour concrete, which means one contractor handles your asphalt surface and the concrete aprons, ramps, and pads around it.

The local asphalt contractor that also pours concrete

Nearly every commercial asphalt company in the Capital Region does asphalt and only asphalt. That leaves you hiring a second contractor for the concrete entrance aprons, the ADA ramps, the sidewalks, and the dumpster pad that surround almost every asphalt lot. RDM self-performs both.

Your lot, your concrete transitions, your drainage, and your striping are one project, one schedule, and one company standing behind the whole site. On a commercial property where asphalt and concrete almost always meet, that is the difference between one accountable contractor and a coordination headache.

New Asphalt Paving and Construction

Full builds from the ground up: site assessment, excavation, a compacted stone base, and asphalt placed in proper lifts for the traffic the surface will carry. We size the structure to the load so the pavement performs for its full life, not just its first few winters.

Commercial Parking Lots

New lots and lot expansions paved to commercial spec. For the full breakdown on parking lots, including layout, drainage, ADA, and the concrete-versus-asphalt decision, see our commercial parking lot page. This page covers the asphalt side: the surface, the base, and keeping it maintained.

Private Roads and Access Roads

Access roads, private drives, and industrial roadways built to handle continuous and heavy traffic, with the base depth and drainage that keep a road from breaking apart at the edges.

Asphalt Resurfacing and Overlays

When the base is still sound and the damage is on the surface, we mill the top and lay a fresh overlay. Resurfacing restores the lot for a fraction of full replacement and is the right call far more often than property owners expect.

Commercial Asphalt Maintenance Programs in Saratoga Springs

This is the part most contractors leave out, and it is the part that saves you the most money. Asphalt does not fail all at once. It fails on a predictable timeline, and a little maintenance at the right moments defers the biggest expense, full replacement, by years. A typical commercial asphalt lifecycle in this climate looks like this:

New asphalt cures for roughly 30 to 90 days before its first sealcoat.
Sealcoat every 2 to 3 years to protect the surface from water and oxidation.
Crack fill annually or as cracks appear, before water reaches the base.
Resurface or overlay at roughly 8 to 15 years if the base is still sound.
Full reconstruction at roughly 15 to 20-plus years.

A lot that is maintained reaches the top of that range. A lot that is ignored hits the bottom, then needs a full rebuild years early. We put your pavement on a scheduled program, sealcoat, crack fill, and an annual inspection, so the cost is budgetable and predictable instead of a surprise capital expense. For a property manager juggling several sites, that is the difference between planning the spend and getting blindsided by it.

How we build asphalt that lasts

The surface you see is the smallest part of a good lot. The base and the drainage are what determine whether it lasts ten years or twenty. We excavate and compact the subgrade, install and compact a stone base sized to the traffic load, then place the asphalt in proper lifts, a binder course for strength and a top course for the finished surface, and compact each lift to density.

Standard commercial lots typically run about 3 inches of asphalt over 6 to 8 inches of base, while heavy-duty lots and truck lanes run thicker, closer to 4 inches of asphalt over 8 to 12 inches of base. Final structure is engineered to your actual loads. Throughout, we grade for drainage, because standing water is what breaks asphalt apart from below.

Asphalt or concrete? We will tell you straight

Because we pour both, our recommendation is not steered by the only material we install. Asphalt is the lower-cost, faster-to-reopen choice for large standard-duty lots and roads. Concrete is the stronger choice for heavy, slow, and turning truck traffic and for the aprons, ramps, and pads that take constant point loading.

On most commercial sites the right answer is both, asphalt for the field of the lot and concrete where the heavy and turning traffic concentrates. See our [commercial concrete page] for the concrete side.
