Driveway Installation Process Edgar NJ

Here's Exactly What Happens Next

First, we come out to assess your current driveway situation and discuss what you’re looking for. We measure everything, check drainage, and give you a clear estimate with no surprises later.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the excavation and base preparation. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s the most important part. We remove the old surface completely, grade for proper drainage, and install the right base materials for your soil conditions.

Then comes the paving itself. Whether you choose asphalt or concrete, we install it correctly with proper thickness and finishing. The whole process typically takes 2-3 days for most residential driveways, and we clean up completely when we’re done.

How long does asphalt driveway installation take in Edgar?

Most residential driveway installations in Edgar take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day one is excavation and base preparation, day two is paving, and day three is final grading and cleanup if needed. Weather can affect timing – we won’t install asphalt in rain or extreme temperatures because it compromises the quality. Concrete driveways take similar time but need longer to cure before you can drive on them. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.

What's the difference between asphalt and concrete driveway paving?

Asphalt costs less upfront and can be installed faster, but needs resealing every few years. It handles freeze-thaw cycles well and is easier to repair if damage occurs. Concrete costs more initially but lasts longer with minimal maintenance. It can crack in extreme temperature changes but offers more design options and better long-term durability. For Edgar’s climate, both work well when installed properly. The choice usually comes down to budget, maintenance preferences, and how you want your driveway to look.

How much does driveway paving cost in Edgar, NJ?

Driveway paving costs in Edgar typically range from $3-7 per square foot for asphalt and $5-12 per square foot for concrete, depending on site conditions and project complexity. Factors that affect price include excavation needs, drainage requirements, driveway size, and access difficulty. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Be wary of estimates that seem too good to be true – they usually are, and you’ll end up paying more when corners get cut.

Do I need permits for driveway installation in Edgar?

Most driveway replacements in Edgar don’t require permits if you’re staying within the existing footprint. However, new driveways, extensions, or changes to drainage may need township approval. We’re familiar with Edgar’s requirements and can help you determine what’s needed for your specific project. If permits are required, we can handle the application process or guide you through it. It’s always better to check first rather than deal with problems later when the township notices unpermitted work.

When is the best time to install a new driveway?

Spring through fall is ideal for driveway installation in Edgar. Asphalt needs temperatures above 50 degrees for proper installation, so we typically avoid winter months. Spring is popular because people want to fix winter damage, but fall can be better for scheduling and sometimes pricing. Summer works fine but can be hot for the crew. We recommend planning ahead and booking early for your preferred timeframe. Emergency repairs can be done year-round, but full installations should wait for proper weather conditions.

How long before I can drive on my new driveway?

For asphalt driveways, you can typically drive on them within 24-48 hours in normal weather conditions. However, the asphalt continues to cure and harden for several months, so avoid heavy vehicles or sharp turns for the first few weeks. Concrete driveways need 7-10 days before regular vehicle traffic, though light foot traffic is usually okay after 24 hours. We’ll give you specific guidance based on weather conditions and the materials used. Rushing this process can damage your new driveway, so it’s worth waiting the recommended time.
