Driveway Paving Process

Here's How We Install Your Driveway

First, we evaluate your existing driveway and property drainage. We measure everything, check the grade, and identify any issues that need addressing before we start. No surprises later.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. We remove old material, grade the surface properly for drainage, and install a solid stone base. This foundation work is what separates driveways that last from ones that fail in two years.

Then we install your new asphalt or concrete surface. We use professional-grade equipment to ensure even thickness and proper compaction. The final step is cleanup and a walkthrough so you know exactly how to maintain your new driveway.

The whole process typically takes 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

How long does a new asphalt driveway last in New Jersey?

A properly installed asphalt driveway in New Jersey typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate thickness (usually 2-3 inches for residential), and quality materials. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on driveways, but asphalt handles temperature changes better than concrete. You’ll want to seal coat every 2-3 years and address small cracks quickly to maximize lifespan. Driveways that fail early usually have base problems or were installed too thin.

Should I choose asphalt or concrete for my East Brunswick driveway?

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better, making it popular in New Jersey. It’s also quicker to install and can be driven on sooner. Concrete costs more initially but lasts longer (20-25 years) and offers more design options. For East Brunswick’s climate, both work well if installed properly. Asphalt makes sense if you want lower upfront cost and don’t mind periodic seal coating. Concrete is better if you want maximum longevity and minimal maintenance. Your specific situation and budget usually determine the best choice.

How much does driveway paving cost in East Brunswick?

Asphalt driveway installation typically runs $3-7 per square foot, while concrete ranges from $6-12 per square foot in the East Brunswick area. A standard two-car driveway (about 600 square feet) usually costs $2,000-4,500 for asphalt or $3,500-7,000 for concrete. Factors affecting price include excavation needs, base preparation requirements, thickness, and site access. Resurfacing existing driveways costs less than complete replacement. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Do I need permits for driveway paving in East Brunswick?

Most driveway repaving or resurfacing projects in East Brunswick don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries. However, new driveways, expansions, or changes to drainage patterns may need permits from the township. If your work affects stormwater runoff or requires connection to municipal systems, permits are typically required. We’re familiar with East Brunswick’s requirements and can advise whether your specific project needs permits. When permits are required, we can help with the application process or work with your chosen permit expediter.

How long before I can drive on my new driveway?

With asphalt, you can typically drive on your new driveway after 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions. Hot weather requires longer curing time. Concrete needs 7-10 days before it’s ready for vehicle traffic, though you can walk on it after 24-48 hours. We’ll give you specific timing based on materials used, weather conditions, and your driveway’s thickness. Driving on uncured pavement can cause permanent damage, so it’s important to wait. We mark completion dates clearly and provide specific guidance for your installation.

What maintenance does my new driveway need?

Asphalt driveways need seal coating every 2-3 years and prompt crack repair to prevent water infiltration. Avoid using rock salt in winter – sand or calcium chloride won’t damage the surface. Concrete driveways need less regular maintenance but benefit from annual cleaning and sealing every 3-5 years. For both materials, keep heavy vehicles off edges, clean oil stains quickly, and ensure proper drainage around the driveway. Small cracks should be repaired immediately to prevent freeze-thaw damage. We provide specific maintenance schedules and product recommendations for your installation.
