We Know New Jersey Driveways

Every job gets proper base preparation, correct drainage grading, and materials that can handle what our climate throws at them. We’re licensed, insured, and we pull permits when required.

You’re not getting a fly-by-night crew with rented equipment. You’re getting contractors who live and work in this area and have to face you at the grocery store if something goes wrong.

New Driveway Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

We start with a site visit to measure your space and check drainage patterns. You’ll get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Once you approve the work, we handle any required permits and schedule the job. We excavate to proper depth, install and compact the base material, then grade everything for proper water runoff.

The paving happens in one day for most residential driveways. We use professional-grade equipment to ensure even thickness and proper compaction. You’ll be able to walk on it immediately, but we recommend waiting 24-48 hours before driving on it.

What's Included in Every Job

Every driveway project includes proper excavation, base preparation, and grading for drainage. We don’t cut corners on the foundation work because that’s what determines how long your driveway lasts.

You get professional-grade asphalt or concrete depending on your choice, applied with commercial equipment for consistent thickness. All edges are properly finished and sealed where they meet existing surfaces.

Bradley Gardens properties often have specific drainage challenges due to the area’s topography. We factor in your lot’s natural water flow and make sure your new driveway directs runoff appropriately. Clean-up is included, and we’ll walk through the finished job with you before we leave.

How long does a new driveway installation take to complete?

Most residential driveways in Bradley Gardens take 1-2 days to complete from start to finish. Day one is excavation and base preparation, which is the most time-consuming part because it has to be done right. Day two is paving, which usually takes 4-6 hours depending on the size of your driveway. Weather can affect the timeline – we won’t pour asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too cold because it won’t cure properly. You can walk on the new surface immediately, but wait at least 24 hours before driving on it to let it fully set.

Should I choose asphalt or concrete for my Bradley Gardens driveway?

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete. It’s easier to repair if damage occurs and can be resurfaced when it starts showing wear. Concrete lasts longer overall and gives you more design options, but it costs more initially and can crack if the ground shifts. For most Bradley Gardens homes, asphalt makes more sense because it’s cost-effective and performs well in our climate. If you want decorative options or plan to stay in your home for decades, concrete might be worth the extra investment.

How much does driveway paving cost in Bradley Gardens?

Asphalt driveways typically run $3-7 per square foot installed, while concrete runs $6-12 per square foot. Your actual cost depends on the size of your driveway, site conditions, and any drainage work needed. A standard two-car driveway in Bradley Gardens averages 600-800 square feet. We provide written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. The cheapest bid isn’t always the best value – proper base preparation and quality materials cost more upfront but save money long-term by avoiding premature failure.

Do I need permits for driveway paving in Bradley Gardens?

Most driveway replacements don’t require permits if you’re staying within the existing footprint. However, if you’re expanding the driveway, changing drainage patterns, or the work affects township right-of-way, you’ll need permits from Bridgewater Township. We handle permit applications when required and make sure all work meets local codes. It’s better to check beforehand than deal with violations later. The township is pretty reasonable about residential driveway work, but they want to ensure proper drainage and setback requirements are met.

How long will my new driveway last before needing replacement?

A properly installed asphalt driveway should last 15-20 years in New Jersey’s climate with basic maintenance. Concrete driveways can last 25-30 years or more. The key is proper base preparation and drainage – most premature driveway failures happen because corners were cut during installation. You can extend the life with sealcoating every 3-5 years for asphalt and keeping expansion joints sealed on concrete. Bradley Gardens’ soil conditions are generally stable, which helps longevity compared to areas with more clay or poor drainage.

What happens if my new driveway develops problems after installation?

We warranty our workmanship and stand behind every job. If issues develop due to installation problems, we’ll fix them at no cost to you. However, damage from settling, tree roots, or normal wear isn’t covered – that’s maintenance, not defective work. Most problems that aren’t related to poor installation show up in the first year, which is why we stay in touch with customers after completion. We’re a local business that depends on reputation, so we have every incentive to make sure you’re satisfied with the finished product.
