Driveway Paving Process Branchburg

Here's How We Handle Your Project

We start with a site visit to assess your current driveway, drainage issues, and soil conditions. You get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline so there are no surprises.

Once you approve the work, we handle permits if needed and schedule around your availability. We excavate the old surface properly, grade for proper drainage, and install the base layer that most problems stem from when it’s done wrong.

The new asphalt or concrete goes down using commercial-grade equipment, not the lightweight tools that create uneven surfaces. We compact everything properly and finish the edges cleanly. You get a driveway that looks professional because it was installed by professionals.

Asphalt Concrete Driveway Options

What's Included in Your Driveway Project

Every driveway project includes proper excavation, base preparation, and professional installation using quality materials. We handle both asphalt and concrete driveways, plus resurfacing when your existing base is still solid.

For Branchburg properties, we pay special attention to drainage since many homes in the area deal with water runoff issues. Poor drainage destroys driveways faster than traffic, so we grade everything to move water away from your foundation and prevent ice formation.

You also get cleanup of all debris and materials. We don’t leave you with a mess to handle after spending money on a new driveway. The job isn’t finished until your property looks better than when we started.

How long does a new driveway installation take to complete?

Most residential driveway installations take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one involves excavation and base preparation. Day two is when we install the new asphalt or concrete surface. We need good weather conditions, so rain can push the timeline back a day or two. Concrete needs 24-48 hours before you can drive on it, while asphalt is typically ready for light traffic within 24 hours. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if weather affects the schedule.

What's the difference between asphalt and concrete for driveways?

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better, which matters in New Jersey. It’s easier to repair if damage occurs and can be resurfaced when it starts showing wear. Concrete lasts longer overall and offers more design options, but costs more initially and can crack if the ground shifts. For most Branchburg homes, asphalt makes sense because it’s cost-effective and performs well in our climate. We’ll recommend the best option based on your budget, soil conditions, and how long you plan to stay in the home.

How much does driveway paving cost in Branchburg?

Driveway paving costs depend on size, material choice, and site conditions. Asphalt typically runs $3-5 per square foot installed, while concrete ranges from $4-8 per square foot. A standard two-car driveway usually costs $2,500-$5,000 for asphalt or $3,500-$7,000 for concrete. Factors like excavation needs, drainage improvements, and accessibility can affect the price. We provide written estimates after seeing your property because every situation is different. The estimate includes all materials, labor, and cleanup so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Can you resurface my existing driveway instead of replacing it?

Resurfacing works when your existing driveway has a solid base but surface wear like minor cracks or fading. We add a new layer of asphalt over the existing surface, which costs about half of full replacement. However, if your driveway has major cracks, settling, or drainage problems, resurfacing won’t solve the underlying issues. We’ll inspect your current driveway and recommend resurfacing only when it makes sense long-term. There’s no point spending money on a temporary fix when you need a permanent solution.

Do you handle permits and inspections for driveway work?

Most driveway replacements in Branchburg don’t require permits if you’re staying within the existing footprint. However, if you’re expanding the driveway, changing drainage patterns, or working near property lines, permits might be needed. We handle the permit process when required and know the local requirements. We also coordinate any necessary inspections. As licensed contractors, we make sure all work meets township standards. You don’t need to worry about compliance issues when you hire professionals who understand local regulations.

What warranty do you provide on driveway paving work?

We warranty our workmanship for two years on new installations and one year on resurfacing projects. This covers issues related to improper installation like premature cracking or settling. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from excessive loads, ground movement, or normal wear over time. Material defects are covered by manufacturer warranties, which we’ll help you navigate if needed. We stand behind our work because we use proper techniques and quality materials. Most issues that arise are from cutting corners during installation, which is why we don’t rush the base preparation and compaction phases.
