We’re Keene’s most trusted paving contractor, serving the Monadnock Region since the 1950s. We handle residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and full excavation with licensed, insured crews and free estimates on every project.
Keene is Cheshire County’s hub, and Gemini Paving has served its homeowners and businesses for generations. From residential driveways to commercial parking lots throughout the city, we understand what it takes to build surfaces that hold up in New Hampshire.
From small residential and commercial lots to long rural entries, Gemini Paving handles new driveway installations, resurfacing, asphalt repair, and full base prep throughout the Keene area. Every installation is graded, drained, and built from the ground up to handle New Hampshire conditions.
Gemini Paving handles parking lot maintenance for retail, office, and industrial properties throughout Keene, including, when feasible, resurfacing existing commercial lots without full replacement. Our crew works efficiently and cleans up after every job, serving Keene and the surrounding Cheshire County communities with the same standard on every project.
Gemini Paving handles full-depth excavation before new asphalt installation, crushed stone and gravel delivery for base layers, and rough grading and lot preparation for new construction sites throughout Keene. We don’t skip the base prep. It’s what separates a 5-year surface from one that lasts 20 or more.
We visit your property, evaluate drainage and soil conditions, assess vehicle access needs, check local permitting requirements, and provide a detailed written estimate with no obligation. Honest advice from a contractor who knows the area, at no cost to you.
We excavate the base to a stable subgrade, compact it layer by layer with heavy equipment, grade the drainage to direct water away from your structure, and lay a quality crushed stone base built to hold up through New Hampshire winters. Whether it’s a new driveway or a commercial lot, this is where the real work begins.

“They did a great job on my driveway… I would highly recommend them!!!”
— Sean
“After calling five companies, only two called back: one was rude, but Gemini called the next day to set up an appointment. Jay was great to talk with, asked all the right questions, and helped put our vision. We got the quote within two days, beating the other. They stuck to schedule and did an amazing job. The crew was polite, hardworking, and finished the driveway in great time despite the heat. We’re definitely happy we chose Gemini and highly recommend them. Thank you for the great service!”

Paving in Keene comes with real challenges. New Hampshire winters are hard on asphalt, and older neighborhoods can have drainage issues that need to be addressed during installation, or the new surface will fail early. Proximity to main roads also means more exposure to road salt and sand, which accelerates surface wear over time.
Gemini Paving has served Keene and Cheshire County for generations. We understand local soil conditions, drainage requirements, and the permitting process for projects throughout the city. Whether you’re replacing a driveway, repairing damage, or improving a commercial property, we assess winter damage honestly, provide a clear estimate, and build to last. Contact us to schedule your free estimate.
Paving costs vary based on project size, site preparation needs, and drainage requirements. Keene-specific factors, such as ledge excavation, permitting in certain areas, and difficult site access, can affect pricing. The only way to get accurate numbers is through an on-site evaluation. Gemini provides free, detailed estimates after visiting your property, so there’s no guessing and no broad ranges that don’t reflect your actual conditions.
Keene’s paving season runs late May through early October. We recommend scheduling in early spring for summer completion since good contractors book up fast once the weather breaks. Fall paving is possible but there’s a hard deadline before overnight temperatures start dropping in mid-October. Winter is actually a great time to plan and book ahead so you’re not scrambling when the season opens.
Keene is the most commercially active area in the Monadnock Region, which means projects here tend to be more varied. You’ll find everything from residential driveways in established neighborhoods to high-traffic commercial parking lots. Commercial work often requires phased scheduling to keep businesses running during construction. Older neighborhoods can have mature trees near driveways and aging bases that need careful assessment before recommending resurfacing or full replacement.
It depends on your project location and scope. Historic district projects and work that affects the city’s right-of-way or drainage patterns often require permits. Commercial parking lot work typically does too. Many residential driveways on private property don’t need permits, but there are exceptions. We’ll tell you upfront whether your project needs approval and handle the coordination so nothing surprises you mid-project.
High-traffic properties in Keene, whether rental housing, multi-unit residential, or active commercial lots, have paving needs that differ from a typical single-family driveway. Wear patterns are more intense, base requirements are higher, and scheduling needs to work around occupancy and operations. Summer is often the only practical window for work at occupied properties, and we plan around those constraints. Our crews have the equipment and experience for larger-scale projects and work efficiently to minimize disruption throughout.
Gemini Paving handles commercial parking lot installation and resurfacing throughout Keene, from retail and office properties to industrial facilities along the major commercial corridors. Commercial projects require more planning than residential work, and we build that planning into every engagement from the first site visit. ADA-compliant design is required for commercial parking areas, and we size accessible spaces correctly, include van-accessible spaces where required, and ensure pedestrian routes meet accessibility standards. Line striping for parking spaces, fire lanes, accessible spaces, and traffic flow markings completes every project. We plan phased work to keep portions of your property accessible during construction when full closure isn’t an option.
