High-Performance Asphalt in Albany NY: Sports Courts, Supermarkets & Heavy-Traffic Lots Done Right

Commercial paving crew working outside retail plaza in Schenectady

Not all paving jobs are created equal — and not all pavement needs are the same.

Whether you’re building a basketball court in Colonie, upgrading a bank parking lot in Albany, or resurfacing a supermarket lot in Schenectady, one thing’s for sure:

You need a paving contractor who understands traffic flow, surface performance, and long-term durability — not just one that throws down blacktop and leaves.

Built for Traffic, Not Just Looks

When we say performance paving, we’re talking about surfaces designed to handle:

  • Constant vehicle traffic without rutting or raveling

  • Heavy turning and braking from delivery trucks and fleets

  • Lateral movement and impact from sports and rec play

  • Consistent drainage to prevent water pooling, erosion, or freeze damage

  • ADA-compliant access zones, including ramps, crosswalks, and signage

For a high-use space, looks matter — but performance keeps your business running.

High-Traffic Business Lots: Banks, Pharmacies, and Retail

Freshly paved supermarket parking lot in Albany NY

We’ve paved dozens of high-traffic commercial lots across Albany, Colonie, and Schenectady, including:

  • Banks and credit unions, where drive-thru traffic wears grooves into poorly built lots

  • Pharmacies and strip plazas, where fast turnaround and minimal downtime matter

  • Supermarket parking lots, where constant foot traffic and cart wheels put pavement to the test

  • Medical offices, where ADA compliance and safety striping are non-negotiable

If you’ve noticed:

  • Fading or worn striping

  • Dips and standing water

  • Cracks forming at entrances and exits

…it’s time to address it before minor wear becomes costly downtime or liability.

Performance Surfaces for Sports & Rec

Asphalt isn’t just for vehicles. It’s also the surface under thousands of Capital Region sports courts, trails, and rec areas.



We’ve worked with:

  • Local school districts for blacktop playgrounds and basketball courts

  • Private communities for pickleball and tennis courts

  • Municipal parks for walking trails, loop paths, and rec zones

These jobs require tight grading, specialized surface finishes, and a crew that knows how to dial in the details.

They’re not weekend projects — and they’re not for amateurs.

Engineering the Right Mix for the Job

One of the biggest mistakes we see? Using the same asphalt mix for every job.

Egan Paving uses a project-specific approach, selecting materials based on:

  • Traffic load expectations

  • Exposure to sunlight and drainage patterns

  • Freeze-thaw cycles (which hit Schenectady and Albany hard in winter)

  • Sub-base composition and compaction needs



That’s how we create asphalt that lasts — even in New York’s rough seasons.
