Asphalt Contractor North Apollo, PA – 30 Years of Quality Paving
Last spring, I watched a homeowner down near the Kiski River try to patch his own driveway with cold mix from the hardware store. By summer, the patches had crumbled worse than before. He called us in August, frustrated and ready to do it right. That’s usually how it goes – people learn the hard way that asphalt work isn’t something you can shortcut.
I’ve been working in North Apollo for 30 years now, and the conversation is always the same. Homeowners want to know why their driveway is cracking, business owners need their parking lot striped before the season starts, and everyone wants it done fast without breaking the bank. Fair enough. That’s what we do.
My family started Townsend & Skursky Paving in 1994, right here in Armstrong County. We’re not a crew that drives in from somewhere else, does the work, and leaves. We live here. We see our customers at the grocery store, at football games, around town. That changes how you approach the work. You can’t cut corners when you know you’ll run into these folks next week.
We handle everything from residential driveways off Route 56 to commercial lots near the old industrial areas. We do road construction, concrete work, and excavation. Sometimes the problem isn’t the asphalt itself – it’s what’s underneath. Poor drainage, unstable base, tree roots – we fix all of it. We also work in nearby areas like Spring Church, where the terrain presents its own challenges.
Western Pennsylvania winters are tough on pavement. The freeze-thaw cycle destroys poor workmanship faster than anything else. We’ve seen what happens when asphalt gets installed wrong, and we’ve spent three decades learning how to do it right. Our pricing is fair, our work is fast, and we stand behind what we do.
Paving Contractor
We handle residential and commercial paving projects throughout North Apollo. Whether it’s a new driveway or a complete parking lot resurface, we use quality materials and proven techniques.
Driveway Paving
Your driveway takes a beating from vehicles, weather, and time. We install new asphalt driveways with proper grading and compaction so they last years, not months.
Commercial Asphalt Paving
Business parking lots need to handle heavy traffic and look professional. We pave commercial properties with the thickness and durability your customers and employees need.
Driveway Installation
New driveway installation requires proper excavation, base preparation, and asphalt application. We do all three correctly so your driveway doesn’t sink or crack prematurely.
Road Construction Company
We work with municipalities and private developers on road projects around Armstrong County. Our crew handles everything from rural lanes to larger commercial access roads.
Asphalt Parking Lot Striping
Fresh striping makes your parking lot safer and more organized. We paint clear lines, arrows, and handicap spaces that meet local codes and last through weather.
Asphalt Milling
Sometimes you need to remove old asphalt before laying new. We mill away damaged surface layers and haul away the material, leaving a clean base for repaving.
Speed Bump Installation
Speed bumps control traffic flow in parking lots and private roads. We install them at the right height and spacing to slow vehicles without damaging suspensions.
Concrete Contractor
Asphalt and concrete work together on most projects. We pour curbs, gutters, ramps, and other concrete elements that complement our paving work throughout the area.
Curb and Gutter Repair
Broken curbs let water drain where it shouldn’t and look terrible. We repair or replace damaged concrete curbs and gutters to protect your asphalt investment.
Handicap Ramp Installation
ADA-compliant ramps aren’t optional for businesses. We install concrete handicap ramps with proper slope, texture, and durability to meet code requirements and last years.
Concrete to Asphalt Conversion
Old concrete driveways crack and settle over time. We remove failing concrete, prepare the base correctly, and install fresh asphalt that performs better in our climate.
Excavating Contractor
Good paving starts below the surface. We run excavation services to handle site prep, drainage issues, and ground problems that would destroy asphalt if ignored.
Excavation Services
Before we pave, we often need to dig. We excavate for new driveways, parking lots, and road bases, removing unstable soil and creating proper drainage systems.
Site Clearing
New construction needs clean ground. We clear trees, brush, old materials, and debris from sites so they’re ready for grading, base work, and eventually paving.
Grading and Leveling
Water pooling on asphalt causes early failure. We grade sites properly so water drains away from buildings and pavement, extending the life of your investment.
Why North Apollo Trusts Our Paving Work
Three Decades of Local Experience
Working in Armstrong County for this long teaches you things you can’t learn anywhere else. The soil composition changes from one neighborhood to another. The drainage patterns near the Kiski River require different approaches than properties up on the hills. We know which roads the salt trucks hit hardest in winter and how that affects asphalt life. That local knowledge saves our customers money because we design solutions that work for this specific area. We also stay current with industry advancements, including sustainable asphalt recycling practices that benefit both our customers and the environment.

Family-Owned Means We Care About Reputation
When your family name is on the trucks and signs around town, you think differently about every job. My kids grew up watching us work. They saw us redo a project when something wasn’t right, even when it cost us money. That’s not heroic – it’s just how you operate when you plan to be here next year and the year after that.
We Price Work Fairly
I won’t claim we’re the cheapest option in the area. We’re not. Quality asphalt, proper base preparation, and experienced crews cost money. But we don’t inflate prices either. We give honest estimates based on what the job actually requires. No surprise charges, no corners cut to make up margin. We’ve built our business on repeat customers and referrals, and that only works when people feel they got fair value.
Fast Service When Weather Allows
Asphalt installation depends on temperature and weather conditions. When the window opens, we move quickly. Our crew stays efficient without rushing through quality steps.
