Professional Driveway Installation and Resurfacing Services
Driveways are more than just access points—they are one of the first impressions of your property. At McGowan 1928, we specialize in asphalt paving, concrete slabs, and blacktop driveways built to withstand the freeze-thaw cycles and heavy traffic common in the Capital District.
We carefully assess soil conditions, drainage requirements, and grading to create a level and stable surface that holds up year after year. Our driveway resurfacing and overlay services offer cost-effective solutions for aging pavement, while our gravel driveway and private road installations are ideal for larger or rural properties.
Our paving services extend to parking lots and commercial spaces, where we use NYS-approved materials and state-of-the-art equipment to deliver results that meet both structural and aesthetic standards.















Custom Masonry Work with Natural and Cultured Stone
From elegant stone veneer patios in Saratoga Springs to structural retaining walls in Green Island, our team brings an unmatched level of precision to every masonry project. We specialize in both decorative and load-bearing masonry, using materials such as natural stone, cultured stone, brick, and poured designs.
Whether you need a brick and concrete patio, steps and stoops, or a full outdoor fire pit and seating area, we tailor each project to meet your design goals and structural needs. Our use of high-quality products from trusted partners like Grimm Building Materials and finishes such as epoxy floor coatings and sealer for patios ensures both beauty and durability.
We also offer masonry subcontracting services for general contractors throughout Albany, Saratoga, and the Greater Capital Region, providing dependable support for larger-scale construction projects, including industrial masonry and masonry landscaping precast products.
