Asphalt Paving Services in New Hampshire

Young's Excavating & Paving LLC has been paving New Hampshire since 1947. Almost eighty years of driveways, parking lots, and roads across the state, with our own crews and our own equipment on every job. When you call us, you get the company that has done this work in New Hampshire since 1947, not a broker or a subcontractor.

Residential Paving

A new driveway is one of the most visible improvements you can make to your home, and one of the longest lasting when it is built right. We handle new driveway installation, full replacement, resurfacing, and repair. A driveway is built on proper base preparation, because a driveway is only as good as what sits underneath it. We grade for drainage so water moves away from your home and your asphalt instead of pooling and freezing through it. The same crews and the same base preparation go into walkways, patios and retaining walls when a driveway job takes in the approach to the house.
Homeowners across the state trust us for driveway paving in Concord, Londonderry, and towns throughout Merrimack, Hillsborough, Rockingham, Strafford, Cheshire, and Belknap counties

Commercial Paving

Parking lots take a beating in New Hampshire. Plows, traffic, frost heaves, and salt all work against the surface. We build and repair commercial lots for businesses, property managers, and condo associations. That includes new parking lot construction, resurfacing and overlays, patching, catch basin work, and line striping so your lot stays safe, compliant, and presentable.
We run a full crew with the equipment to phase work around your business hours, and we respond fast when a repair cannot wait.

What Every Young's Excavating & Paving LLC Paving Job Includes

Site evaluation and honest recommendations before any work starts. Proper excavation and base preparation, not asphalt poured over a bad foundation. Commercial-grade materials laid and compacted by operators who have done this for decades. Clean edges, correct pitch for drainage, and a jobsite left cleaner than we found it. See real results on our recent paving projects below.

Why paving is weather work with a deadline

Hot mix asphalt has to be compacted while it is still hot. Rolling is what locks the stone together and squeezes the air out, and once the mat cools past roughly 175 degrees it stops responding to the roller. Everything that happens on a paving day is arranged around that window: how far the trucks travel, how much is laid at once, how quickly the roller follows the paver. A thin layer on a cold day loses that window in minutes, which is why late-season work gets scheduled tightly and why a mild October afternoon is not the same thing as a warm one.

Undercompacted asphalt looks finished. It is the failure you cannot see on the day. Air left in the mat lets water in, and water in a New Hampshire pavement means the freeze cycle starts breaking it apart from the inside. A driveway that ravels into loose stone after two winters was usually laid correctly and rolled badly, or laid too cold.

Thickness is the other half. Asphalt is placed loose and compacts down by roughly a quarter of its depth, so a finished surface of a given thickness starts noticeably deeper on the paver. Where a surface has to carry more than cars, it is built in two layers, a coarser binder course underneath and a finer wearing course on top, with a tack coat between them so the two bond into one slab rather than sliding as two.
