Hear from Our Customers
You know the frustration of watching your driveway deteriorate after spending thousands on “budget” paving. Cracks turn into potholes. Water pools where it shouldn’t. Your home’s curb appeal suffers.
When we install your asphalt properly, you get decades of reliable performance instead of costly repairs every few years. Your driveway handles everything from delivery trucks to New Jersey’s brutal winters without falling apart.
The difference is in the foundation work that most contractors skip. We excavate to the right depth, install compacted base material, and apply asphalt at the thickness your driveway actually needs.
We’ve been handling asphalt projects throughout Six Mile Run and Franklin Township for years. We’re licensed, insured, and we understand what works in this area.
We know the local soil conditions, drainage requirements, and exactly how thick your asphalt needs to be for Somerset County’s climate. You’re not our practice project—we’ve done this work hundreds of times in your neighborhood.
Six Mile Run homeowners choose us because we show up when we say we will, use quality materials, and stand behind our work. When the job’s done right the first time, you’re not calling contractors every few years for expensive repairs.
First, we evaluate your site and provide a written estimate that breaks down exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden costs.
Next, we prepare the base properly—this is where most contractors cut corners. We excavate to the right depth, grade for proper drainage, and compact the base material until it’s rock solid. This foundation work determines whether your driveway lasts 5 years or 25 years.
Then we install the asphalt at the correct thickness for your specific use. We monitor weather conditions closely and only pave when conditions are right for quality work. The result is pavement that performs like it should for decades, not years.

Our residential asphalt paving includes proper excavation, base preparation, asphalt installation, and final grading for optimal drainage. Every job includes site cleanup and a final walkthrough to ensure you’re completely satisfied.
For Six Mile Run properties, we understand the unique challenges of Somerset County’s soil conditions and weather patterns. Your driveway needs to handle the area’s freeze-thaw cycles, occasional flooding, and the weight of snow removal equipment.
We use quality hot-mix asphalt designed for New Jersey’s climate, not whatever’s cheapest. Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish, and you can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours. We’ll walk you through the curing process and maintenance schedule to protect your investment.
Asphalt paving in Six Mile Run typically costs $8 to $12 per square foot for complete installation, including excavation and base preparation. A standard residential driveway ranges from $5,500 to $12,000 depending on size, site conditions, and thickness requirements.
The final cost depends on several factors specific to your property. If we need to remove an existing driveway or address drainage issues, that affects pricing. Larger driveways cost more total but less per square foot due to economies of scale.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down material costs, labor, and any site preparation work. This transparency helps you understand exactly what you’re paying for and compare proposals accurately.
Most residential driveways in Six Mile Run take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and site conditions. We complete excavation and base preparation on day one, then install and compact the asphalt on day two.
Weather affects our scheduling since we can’t pave in rain or when temperatures are too low. We monitor forecasts closely and will reschedule if conditions aren’t suitable for quality work. Proper timing ensures your pavement cures correctly and performs as expected.
You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, though we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy vehicles like RVs or work trucks. We’ll provide specific guidelines based on weather conditions and asphalt thickness.
Poor base preparation is the leading cause of premature asphalt failure in New Jersey. Cheap contractors skip excavation steps, use inadequate base material, or don’t compact properly. This leads to settling, cracking, and water infiltration within a few years.
Inadequate asphalt thickness is another common problem. Residential driveways need at least 2-3 inches of asphalt, but some contractors apply thin layers to cut costs. This creates a surface that can’t handle New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles or normal traffic loads.
Water infiltration accelerates damage once cracks appear. Without proper drainage and base preparation, water gets under the asphalt, freezes, and expands the cracks. What starts as minor surface cracking quickly becomes major structural damage requiring complete replacement.
Yes, we handle commercial paving projects including parking lots, loading areas, and access roads throughout Six Mile Run and Franklin Township. Commercial paving requires different specifications than residential work due to heavier traffic loads and stricter requirements.
We understand ADA compliance, proper drainage for larger areas, and traffic management during construction. Our commercial projects include detailed planning to minimize business disruption and efficient completion timelines.
We work with property managers, business owners, and contractors on projects ranging from small business lots to large commercial developments. Each commercial project receives the same attention to base preparation and material quality that ensures long-term performance.
New asphalt needs time to fully cure, so avoid parking in the same spots repeatedly for the first few weeks. Keep the surface clean and watch for any standing water that might indicate drainage issues.
Sealcoating should be applied 6-12 months after installation, then every 2-3 years depending on traffic and weather exposure. This protects against oxidation, UV damage, and water infiltration that can cause cracking.
Address small cracks immediately before they expand and allow water infiltration. Keep the surface free of debris and ensure proper drainage around the edges. With regular maintenance, a properly installed asphalt driveway in Six Mile Run can last 20-25 years or more.
Verify that contractors are licensed and insured in New Jersey, not just traveling crews with out-of-state plates. Ask for local references and check their work in your area. Many asphalt scams target New Jersey homeowners with “leftover material” deals and cash-only transactions.
Get detailed written estimates that specify excavation depth, base material type, and asphalt thickness. Legitimate contractors explain their process and provide realistic timelines. Avoid anyone who shows up unannounced or pressures you to sign immediately.
Look for contractors who understand local conditions like Somerset County’s soil types and drainage requirements. They should explain how they’ll handle site-specific challenges and provide maintenance guidance to protect your investment long-term.
