Driveway Paving Process

Here's How Your Project Works

We start with a site evaluation to check your current driveway condition, drainage patterns, and soil stability. This tells us exactly what needs to happen for a lasting result.

Next comes preparation work. We remove old materials if needed, grade the base properly, and install any drainage improvements. This foundation work determines how long your new driveway will last.

The paving itself happens quickly once prep work is complete. We use professional-grade equipment to ensure proper thickness and compaction. For asphalt projects, we apply materials at the right temperature and compact them while conditions are optimal.

Final steps include cleanup and any necessary curing time. You’ll know exactly when you can use your new driveway normally, and we’ll explain any maintenance that helps protect your investment.

Asphalt and Concrete Options

Materials That Work in New Jersey

We handle both asphalt and concrete driveway installations, plus resurfacing and repair work. Asphalt works well for most Cranbury Station homes because it handles temperature changes better and costs less upfront. Concrete lasts longer and offers more design options, but requires a higher initial investment.

For existing driveways, resurfacing can extend life significantly when the base is still solid. We’ll tell you honestly whether resurfacing makes sense or if you need complete replacement.

Our repair services handle everything from crack sealing to pothole patching. Sometimes a targeted repair saves you from replacing an entire driveway that still has years of life left.

How long does a new driveway installation take to complete?

Most residential driveway installations take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day one typically involves removal of old materials and base preparation. Day two covers the actual paving work. If weather cooperates and no unexpected issues come up, smaller driveways can sometimes be completed in a single day. Concrete driveways need additional curing time before you can drive on them, usually 3-7 days depending on conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if anything changes.

Should I choose asphalt or concrete for my driveway?

Both materials work well in New Jersey, but they have different advantages. Asphalt costs less upfront, handles freeze-thaw cycles better, and can be resurfaced when it eventually wears out. Concrete lasts longer overall, offers more design options, and doesn’t need periodic sealing like asphalt does. Your budget, how long you plan to stay in the home, and your aesthetic preferences all factor into the decision. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation during the estimate.

How much does driveway paving cost in Cranbury Station?

Driveway paving costs depend on size, material choice, site conditions, and how much prep work is needed. Asphalt typically runs less per square foot than concrete, but every project is different. Driveways that need extensive base work or drainage improvements cost more than simple overlay projects. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises or hidden fees after we start work.

How long will my new driveway last before needing replacement?

A properly installed asphalt driveway typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance like periodic sealing. Concrete driveways often last 25-30 years or more. The actual lifespan depends on installation quality, local weather conditions, how much traffic the driveway gets, and whether you keep up with maintenance. Driveways that were installed correctly with proper drainage and base preparation always last longer than quick jobs that cut corners on the foundation work.

Do you handle driveway repairs or just new installations?

We handle both repairs and new installations. Many driveway problems can be fixed without complete replacement if you catch them early enough. Crack sealing, pothole patching, and partial resurfacing can extend your driveway’s life significantly. We’ll assess your current driveway honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes a few hundred dollars in repairs buys you several more years before you need to think about replacement.

What happens if it rains during my driveway project?

Weather definitely affects paving work, especially for asphalt installations. We monitor forecasts carefully and won’t start work if rain is expected during critical phases. If unexpected weather hits during your project, we’ll protect any work in progress and resume when conditions improve. This might extend your timeline by a day or two, but it’s better than rushing work in poor conditions. Concrete work is less weather-sensitive but still needs protection from heavy rain during the first day or two after pouring.
