No More Cracked, Crumbling Pavement

You know the frustration of watching your driveway fall apart after just a few seasons. Cracks that started small now collect water and weeds. Potholes that make you cringe every time you pull in.

Quality asphalt paving changes all that. When it’s done right, you get smooth surfaces that handle New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles without breaking down. Your property looks professional again. Visitors aren’t dodging potholes or tripping on uneven surfaces.

The difference is in the preparation and materials. Proper base work, quality asphalt, and correct installation techniques mean your pavement actually protects your investment instead of becoming a constant headache.

Once you approve the work, we start with proper site preparation. This means excavating to the right depth, ensuring proper drainage, and creating a solid base. Most paving problems start here, so we don’t cut corners.

Then we apply the asphalt using professional equipment and techniques. We compact it properly and make sure the surface is smooth and even. After completion, we clean up the job site and walk through everything with you to make sure you’re satisfied.

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Commercial parking lots typically require 2-5 days based on square footage and site conditions. Weather can affect timing – we won’t pour asphalt in rain or extreme temperatures because it compromises quality. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. The key is not rushing the process, especially the base preparation and compaction phases.
The biggest difference is in base preparation and material thickness. Cheap jobs skip proper excavation, use inadequate base material, or apply asphalt too thin. This leads to cracking, settling, and failure within a few years. Quality paving starts with proper site prep, adequate base depth, and the right asphalt thickness for your traffic load. We also use quality materials and proper compaction techniques. Yes, it costs more upfront, but you avoid costly repairs and premature replacement.
Residential driveway paving typically ranges from $3-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions, thickness requirements, and access. A standard two-car driveway usually runs $2,500-6,000. Factors that affect price include excavation needs, base preparation requirements, drainage issues, and distance from the street. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges or hidden fees.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt paving in New Jersey. We need temperatures consistently above 50°F and dry conditions for proper installation and curing. Summer and early fall are ideal because the asphalt stays workable longer and compacts better. We can work in cooler weather if necessary, but avoid winter installations when possible. If you’re planning a project, spring scheduling often offers better availability and pricing than peak summer months.
Yes, we handle commercial paving projects including parking lots, access roads, and loading areas. Commercial work requires heavier base preparation and thicker asphalt to handle truck traffic and constant use. We coordinate with business owners to minimize disruption – often working evenings or weekends when possible. All commercial projects include proper striping, ADA compliance, and drainage solutions. We’re licensed and insured for commercial work and understand the permitting requirements in Belle Mead.
You can typically walk on new asphalt within a few hours, but wait 24-48 hours before driving on it. The exact timing depends on temperature, humidity, and asphalt thickness. Hot weather requires longer curing time. We’ll give you specific instructions based on conditions when we complete your job. Avoid turning your steering wheel while stopped on new asphalt for the first few weeks – this can cause scuff marks. The surface continues to harden over the first year, reaching full strength after about 6-12 months.
