Reliable Paving Contractor in Scarsdale, NY
Arrow Black Top & Masonry Inc. is the paving contractor Scarsdale property owners turn to when they want the job done right the first time. Whether it's a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot, we handle asphalt work that holds up through heavy use, harsh winters, and everything in between—improving both curb appeal and long-term property value.
Asphalt Driveways and Parking Lots
We install and replace asphalt driveways and parking lots for homeowners and businesses throughout Scarsdale, NY. It's a practical material: clean-looking, low maintenance, and with a lifespan of 20 to 30 years when the job is done properly. It also handles oil spots better than most alternatives, which makes it a sensible pick for high-traffic properties.
Beyond installation, we offer seal coating and line striping as a full-service pavement contractor. Seal coating shields the surface from moisture, UV damage, and everyday wear, while line striping keeps commercial lots organized, safe, and easy to navigate.
Frequently Asked Questions
We generally recommend waiting at least 24 to 72 hours before driving on new asphalt, depending on weather conditions and the specific mix used. Hot temperatures can make fresh asphalt softer for a longer period, so extra caution is important in summer. Even after it is usable, asphalt continues curing over several months, which is why avoiding sharp turns, parked heavy vehicles, and kickstands early on helps protect the surface.
Drainage plays a major role in how long pavement lasts because standing water can weaken the base below the asphalt. Over time, that can lead to cracks, dips, potholes, and edge failure. A properly planned paving project includes grading and water runoff control so the surface stays stronger, safer, and more stable.
Seal coating is a protective maintenance service, not a structural repair. It can improve appearance and help slow surface wear, but it will not fix deep cracks, potholes, or base failure. If damage already exists, repairs should usually be completed first so the seal coating can protect a sound surface instead of covering unresolved problems.
