Drainage and Excavation for Paving Projects

Great pavement starts underground. Standing water is the number-one enemy of asphalt in New Hampshire, so before we pave, our crew makes sure water works with your surface instead of against it. From grading and base work to full drainage systems, we build the foundation that makes a driveway or lot last.

Grading & Site Preparation

Proper slope and a well-compacted base are what keep asphalt from cracking, heaving and pooling. We excavate, grade and compact the site to the right pitch so water drains away from your home, building and pavement.

Drainage Solutions

When water has nowhere to go, it finds its way under your pavement and destroys it from below. We install and correct the drainage that keeps your surface dry and structurally sound.

  • Catch basins and drain installation
  • Culverts and trench drains
  • Regrading to eliminate low spots and pooling
  • Erosion and washout repair

Excavation for Every Paving Project

Whether it is a single residential driveway or a full commercial lot, our own crews and equipment handle the excavation in-house. That means one accountable team from the first dig to the final coat, and a price that matches your estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does drainage matter so much for paving?
Water is the main reason asphalt fails in New England. Trapped water freezes, expands and breaks pavement apart from underneath. Good grading and drainage are what let a surface last for decades.
Can you fix an area that keeps pooling water?
Yes. We regrade low spots and add drainage so water flows away from your pavement instead of collecting on it. In many cases we can correct pooling without repaving the entire surface.
Do you handle drainage and paving together?
We do. Handling grading, drainage and paving with one crew means the base is done right for the surface going on top of it, with a single point of accountability.
Are you licensed and insured for excavation work?
Yes. Pittore Brothers Paving is fully licensed and insured for excavation, grading and drainage work across Southern NH.
