Driveway & Walkway Installation & Repair
Driveway and walkway installation and repair done right — built on strong foundations, designed for drainage, and finished with premium materials that last through New York weather.
Why Choose Cruger Contracting for Driveway & Walkway Installation & Repair
Cruger Contracting LLC builds and restores driveways and walkways that add lasting function and style to homes across the Hudson Valley. Our process begins with detailed planning — understanding soil, slope, and drainage to ensure stability. We install compacted aggregate bases, control grading for water flow, and use high-quality materials rated for local climate challenges.
From paver and stone installations to concrete replacements and gravel driveways, we tailor each design to match your home’s architecture and your lifestyle. Our skilled crew also performs repairs for cracked, settled, or poorly draining surfaces, restoring beauty and safety. Every project is completed with sealed edges, clean transitions, and a polished finish that enhances curb appeal for years.
Engineered Foundations That Last
We build every project on solid ground — literally. Our compacted base systems prevent shifting, cracking, and frost heave so your driveway or walkway remains strong and level year after year.
Smart Drainage Integration
Proper drainage is key to longevity. Our installations include precise grading, drainage channels, and water management features that prevent erosion, ice buildup, and long-term surface wear.
Premium Materials, Expertly Installed
We use durable, high-quality materials — from concrete pavers and natural stone to reinforced concrete and decorative gravel — all installed to exact standards for lasting performance and appeal.
