Driveway Installation and Replacement for NYC Properties
Driveways in New York face constant pressure from parked vehicles, freezing winters, and limited space for runoff. A professionally installed driveway ensures long-term stability, improved drainage, and a smooth transition between public roads and private property.
New Driveway Construction
Our team grades and excavates the sub-base to proper depth, installs compacted gravel layers, and pours high-strength concrete or asphalt depending on the design. We shape the entry for a clean tie-in to the street, install control joints to prevent cracking, and finish the surface with broom or smooth trowel texture as needed.
Driveway Apron and Curb Cut Services
Driveway aprons—where your driveway meets the city sidewalk—must conform to DOT regulations. We construct driveway aprons and curb cuts that meet city code, allow seamless access, and avoid water pooling at the property line. Our team handles all layout, demolition, and formwork with precision.
Driveway Repairs and Resurfacing
Existing driveways that show signs of spalling, heaving, or surface deterioration can often be repaired or resurfaced rather than fully replaced. We evaluate each case to determine whether patching, leveling, or repouring is most appropriate. Our goal is to restore function and appearance with minimal disruption.
Sidewalk Installation and Violation Repair
Sidewalks throughout New York must meet strict Department of Transportation (DOT) standards for width, grade, and surface condition. M.A.S. Paving and Sealcoating
provides full-service sidewalk installation and repair, including DOT violation removal and ADA-compliant upgrades.
Sidewalk Installation for New Construction
For new developments, we install concrete sidewalks that align with property boundaries and meet all slope and width regulations. Our crews pour concrete with a clean edge, integrate control joints, and add curb transitions and tree pits as required.
DOT Sidewalk Violation Corrections
When the NYC DOT issues a violation for broken, uneven, or hazardous sidewalk slabs, prompt repair is essential to avoid city fines or legal liability. We inspect the damage, remove and replace failed sections, and submit all necessary documentation to the city. We also handle vault covers and subsurface slab adjustments when structural integrity is in question.
Tree Root Damage and Sidewalk Lifting
In many neighborhoods, mature street trees cause sidewalks to lift or crack. We work carefully to remove and repour damaged sections while coordinating root trimming and ensuring compliance with NYC Parks Department guidelines. Our goal is to preserve trees when possible while restoring safe walkways.
Curb and Gutter Tie-In
Sidewalk repairs often involve adjacent curbs or gutter lines. We ensure clean tie-ins between sidewalk and curb while restoring stormwater drainage flow. Curb ramps and corner transitions are constructed to meet ADA and pedestrian safety standards.
Site Conditions and Urban Constraints
Driveway and sidewalk work in New York City presents unique logistical challenges. Tight spaces, active foot traffic, utility lines, and access restrictions require skillful project planning.
Access in Brownstone and Multi-Family Properties
Many residential properties in Manhattan and Brooklyn feature narrow entry points, sloped terrain, or historic design elements. We tailor our work to maintain architectural consistency while bringing the structure up to modern performance and code standards.
Commercial Frontage and Pedestrian Zones
Businesses must maintain ADA access and customer safety during repairs or installation. We provide off-hours work, temporary pedestrian reroutes, and phased installation to minimize impact while keeping properties operational.
Material Choices and Finishes
We offer a variety of finishes to match architectural styles or project needs. From standard broom-finish concrete to decorative stamped textures, we provide sidewalk and driveway surfaces that are both functional and attractive.
Process Overview for Installation and Repair
Every installation or repair follows a structured approach to ensure compliance, durability, and visual consistency.
Demolition and Site Prep
Old slabs or driveways are cut, broken, and removed. Sub-grade materials are compacted and leveled, and forms are set for accurate elevation and slope.
Pouring and Finishing
We pour high-strength concrete or asphalt based on property type and city specifications. Concrete is finished with hand tools for a consistent look and allowed to cure under controlled conditions.
Curing and Site Clean-Up
After proper curing, we remove forms, clean up the site, and reestablish adjacent landscaping or pavers. For sidewalks, we confirm all edges are flush, joints are spaced, and surfaces are ADA-compliant.
