THE BEST. We got multiple quotes for our very long driveway and decided to move forward with Erik after seeing his work and reading his reviews. My wife and I are so so happy with the final result. Everything came out perfect. Erik was easy to work with friendly , timely , and priced fairly. His crew was respectful, cleaned up after themselves and minimized any damage to my yard. They were able to get things done quickly and the asphalt quality is very high. They also seeded and strawed any areas that needed it and watered them before leaving (nice touch.) Cannot recommend enough.

We recently got our driveway paved by County Hill, and they did an outstanding job! They tackled a full replacement, tearing out our old driveway—which isn’t a small one—and started from scratch, leaving the result looking absolutely amazing. Erik, the owner, was super friendly, great at communicating, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them for their excellent work and top-notch service!
Frequently Asked Questions About County Hill Paving & Excavation
What time of year is best to plan an excavation job?
Excavation, as defined by OSHA, refers to any man-made cut, cavity, trench, or depression in the earth's surface formed by earth removal. The optimal seasons for excavation work are spring and fall, as the ground tends to be more pliable during these periods.
How do I prepare for an excavation contractor?
To prepare for our excavation services, we recommend making the work area as accessible as possible within your capabilities. If you encounter any limitations, please inform us in advance about potential obstacles. Additionally, if feasible, relocate any items on the property that may impede our work.
Should utilities be marked before the excavation contractor comes?
Our team handles the marking of utilities prior to excavation. However, we request that homeowners mark any private utilities, such as dog fences or private electric lines, if possible. We encourage you to communicate with us beforehand to clarify who will be responsible for arranging utility marking.
Curb appeal when it comes to Driveway paving?
A well-maintained driveway significantly enhances a home's curb appeal. In North Haven, CT, driveway renovation is a popular choice for property improvement. Homeowners can choose from materials like asphalt, concrete, pavers, or gravel, each offering unique benefits. Professional installation ensures proper design, layout, and adherence to safety standards, maximizing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
What is the paving process?
The paving process consists of three main stages: surface preparation, base installation, and asphalt or concrete laying. Surface preparation involves removing existing material, grading, leveling, and ensuring proper drainage. The base layer, composed of compacted crushed stone, provides a stable foundation. The final stage involves laying the asphalt or concrete. For professional asphalt paving services, we invite you to contact our team.
How long will my new pavement last?
