About the Syracuse Division serving Utica and the Central New York Region
With just a short drive down the New York State Thruway, it’s easy for Ruston Paving’s Syracuse Division to service clients in the Utica area. From area schools and commercial projects, such as Riverside Plaza and SUNY Poly, Ruston Paving looks forward to helping new and repeat customers improve their facilities.
As the original Ruston Paving location founded in 1943, our Syracuse Division continues to set the asphalt paving services standard for the rest of the company. It is here where the blueprint was drafted by founder Mike Ruston to form a company known for providing quality at a competitive price. Mike’s core values continue to guide the company’s vision and remain the basis for our corporate mission. From this central location, the Syracuse Division can provide asphalt paving services in Central NY, and support for our other divisions within the state. In 1987, Ruston Paving moved into its current location on Thompson Road from the original site in Jamesville.

Full Depth Repair at St. Anthony’s Church
Utica, NY
St. Anthony’s Church needed full depth repair as well as rehabilitation in the drainage system. This was completed by adding catch basins and new piping to redirect the water runoff. This project had to be completed in a very tight schedule ahead of an annual festival held by the church. In addition, with completing a full depth repair on the lot, this parking lot will be good for years to come for the church’s patrons.

Asphalt Paving Services for the Utica Area
Asphalt Pavement Repair and New Construction
For over 80 years, Ruston Paving has been providing excellent service to our customers. We specialize in both new asphalt pavement construction and asphalt pavement repairs for commercial and industrial projects.
Parking Lots, Roadways and Subdivisions
Asphalt pavement is mostly found on parking lots and roadways. Most of our work involves the construction and repair of these more common asphalt surfaces.
Catch Basin and Storm Drainage Repair, Pothole Repair and Crack Filling
Minor repairs can extend the life of your asphalt pavement. Simple repairs to storm drainage and surface failures can prolong the life of the pavement.
Asphalt Milling and Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlays
Neglected asphalt pavement will require more extensive repairs. This may require the complete removal of the asphalt pavement or a simple resurfacing or overlay of the existing pavement.
Soil Stabilization and Full Depth Reclamation
A detailed site inspection will evaluate the strength of the subgrade for the new asphalt surface. It may be necessary to enhance the underlying materials providing a strengthened foundation to support the new pavement.
Excavation, Grading, Storm Drainage and Stone Base
When a new pavement section is required, we provide a turnkey solution that includes the excavation, grading and installation of the stone base prior to capping it off with a new asphalt pavement surface.
Tennis Courts, Pickleball Courts, Running Tracks, and Walking Trails
Although asphalt is mostly found in parking lots and roadways, we specialize in the repair and construction of less common athletic and recreational surfaces. Examples of these are walking trails, running tracks, tennis courts and pickleball courts.
