Expert Asphalt Contractor Orchard Hills, PA
Last spring, a homeowner called me panicking because her driveway had developed a massive crater after the winter thaw. She’d gotten three quotes – one guy wanted to patch it with cold mix, another said she needed to replace the whole thing, and the third never called back. I drove over, took one look, and knew exactly what needed to happen. That’s the difference three decades of experience makes.
I’ve been working asphalt in Orchard Hills since before most of the developments off Constitution Avenue existed. My dad started Townsend & Skursky back in 1995 with one truck and a promise to neighbors: fair pricing, fast service, and work that lasts. We’re still keeping that promise today, and it’s why families who hired us 20 years ago call us again when they move to a new house.
Being a family owned business means something different around here. When you call us, you’re not getting routed through some call center in another state. You’re talking to people who live in this area, understand Pennsylvania winters, and have probably paved a driveway on your street. We know how the freeze-thaw cycle tears up poorly installed asphalt. We follow proper asphalt installation procedures from excavation through final compaction, because shortcuts in the base work always come back to haunt you. We know which materials hold up best in our soil conditions.
We serve communities throughout the region, including nearby Spring Church, where we’ve completed countless residential and commercial projects. Whether you’re dealing with a crumbling driveway, need a new parking lot for your business, or require road construction services, we bring the same level of care to every job. Fast turnaround doesn’t mean rushed work – it means we’ve done this enough times to work efficiently while maintaining the quality that’s kept us in business for 30 years.
Paving Contractor
We do all kinds of paving around Orchard Hills. Doesn’t matter if it’s your home driveway or a big parking lot for a business – we approach every job the same way and make sure it holds up.
Driveway Paving
Driveways take a real beating between cars, weather, and everything else. We put in new driveways the right way so they don’t crack apart or sink after a couple winters. Good materials, solid base, done properly.
Commercial Asphalt Paving
Business lots need to look professional and handle lots of cars. We’ll work nights or weekends if that helps your schedule. The goal is to get you a nice surface without shutting down your business for days.
Driveway Installation
Putting in a brand new driveway or getting rid of old concrete? We handle the whole thing – digging, base prep, grading, everything. The key is building it so water goes where it should and nothing settles weird later.
Road Construction Company
Roads aren’t like driveways. They need different equipment and a different approach. We’ve built private roads, commercial entrances, and access routes all over the area. Water drainage is usually the tricky part, but we’ve figured that out over the years.
Asphalt Parking Lot Striping
Fresh paint makes a huge difference in how organized a parking lot looks and how safe it is. We do the lines for parking spots, handicap areas, fire lanes – whatever you need to meet the codes.
Asphalt Milling
Before we resurface, we usually need to mill off the old layer. This cuts it down to the right depth and gets rid of the cracked, worn-out asphalt. Gives the new layer something solid to bond to.
Speed Bump Installation
Need to slow cars down in your lot or on a private road? We put in speed bumps at the right height and spacing. Too tall and they’ll tear up cars. Too short and nobody slows down. There’s a sweet spot.
Concrete Contractor
Sometimes concrete makes more sense than asphalt for what you’re doing. We work with both materials and can tell you honestly which one fits your situation better. Same quality standards either way.
Curb and Gutter Repair
Busted curbs look bad and mess up drainage. Water pools where it shouldn’t, then you’ve got bigger problems. We’ll fix or replace sections to match what’s already there and get water flowing right again.
Handicap Ramp Installation
Ramps have to be built to specific measurements for ADA compliance. The slope has to be exact, the surface has to be right. We’ve done enough of these to know exactly what’s required for businesses and public areas.
Concrete to Asphalt Conversion
Old concrete cracks and gets expensive to keep fixing. Switching to asphalt gives you something smoother that’s easier to maintain down the road. It handles cold weather better too, which matters around here.
Excavating Contractor
People don’t think much about the dirt work, but that’s what makes or breaks a paving job. Get the base wrong and your new driveway will crack in two years. We do the excavation and grading to set everything up right from the start.
Excavation Services
Digging out for a driveway or parking lot means taking out the bad soil and putting in material that won’t shift or settle. You need the right equipment and you need to know how deep to go for the soil conditions you’re dealing with.
Site Clearing
Before anything else happens, we clear the area. That means getting rid of plants, rocks, old materials, whatever’s there. Then we grade it to the right height so everything’s level where it needs to be for the base and pavement.
Grading and Leveling
This is where you figure out where water’s going to go. If you don’t slope things right, you’ll have puddles every time it rains. We grade everything so water moves away from buildings and off the pavement properly.
Why Orchard Hills Trusts Townsend & Skursky
Three Decades of Local Expertise
You can’t fake 30 years of experience in one community. We’ve paved through every type of Pennsylvania weather, worked with every soil condition in the area, and solved problems that only come up after you’ve done thousands of jobs. When neighbors along Constitution Avenue needed their driveways redone after that brutal winter in 2014, we were the crew they called. Not because we spent money on advertising, but because we’d already proven ourselves on their street.
Family Values, Professional Results
Being family owned means my name is on every truck and every job. When something goes wrong – and in construction, sometimes it does – we don’t disappear or make excuses. We fix it. That’s how you stay in business for three decades in a tight-knit community like Orchard Hills. My kids have grown up watching how we treat customers, and they understand that reputation isn’t built through marketing. It’s built one driveway, one parking lot, one honest conversation at a time.
Community Roots Run Deep
We’re not just working in Orchard Hills – we live here. We shop at the same stores, our kids go to the same schools, and we see our customers around town. That changes how you approach work. When I’m looking at a drainage issue on someone’s property, I’m thinking about how it affects their neighbor too, because chances are I know that neighbor. We’ve sponsored local youth sports teams, supported community events, and built relationships that go beyond business transactions.
Knowledge That Comes From Experience
There’s a difference between knowing how to pave and understanding how asphalt behaves in Pennsylvania’s climate. We’ve learned which materials hold up best through our freeze-thaw cycles, how to time projects around weather patterns, and what shortcuts lead to callbacks two years later. That knowledge doesn’t come from a training manual. It comes from fixing other contractors’ mistakes and refining our process over 30 years until we got it right.

Frequenctly Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for driveway paving in Orchard Hills, PA?
Usually not for home driveways. If you’re doing commercial work or changing how water drains off your property, you might need one. We’ll let you know and help get it if needed.
How long does asphalt paving take in Orchard Hills?
A regular driveway? We’re usually done in a day or two. Bigger jobs take longer, but we move fast. Most people are surprised how quickly we can get them on the schedule.
What’s the best time of year for asphalt work in Pennsylvania?
Anywhere from April to October works well. We avoid the really hot days and obviously can’t pave when it’s freezing. Late summer and early fall are perfect – not too hot, not too cold.
How soon can new asphalt be driven on?
Give it a day, maybe two before you drive on it. If you’ve got a heavy truck or RV, wait about a week. Fresh asphalt is like fresh concrete – it needs time to harden up properly.
Do you work around Route 228 traffic and local events?
Yeah, we deal with that all the time. For business parking lots, we’ll work around your busiest hours. Near main roads, we plan ahead so traffic can still get through while we’re working.
How does Pennsylvania winter weather affect asphalt longevity?
Our winters are rough on pavement. That’s why the base work matters so much. Do it right from the start with good drainage, and your asphalt should last 15 to 20 years, even with our weather.
