Professional Asphalt Driveway Installation

Your Property Value Just Went Up

A properly paved driveway does more than look good. It handles New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. It channels water away from your foundation instead of pooling against it. It gives you smooth access year-round, not a bumpy obstacle course every time you come home.

You get curb appeal that actually matters to buyers if you ever sell. You get a surface that handles snow removal without chunks breaking off. Most importantly, you get years of use without constant patching and Band-Aid fixes.

The difference between a driveway that lasts and one that becomes a headache comes down to proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation that accounts for local soil conditions. When it’s done right the first time, you forget about it—which is exactly how it should be.

Driveway Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we evaluate your property’s drainage, soil conditions, and access requirements. This determines the proper base depth and material specifications for your specific situation. Every driveway is different, and cookie-cutter approaches lead to problems later.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most contractors cut corners, but it’s the foundation of everything else. We remove existing materials, grade for proper drainage, and install a compacted stone base that won’t shift or settle over time.

Finally, the paving material goes down using commercial-grade equipment. Whether you choose asphalt, concrete, or blacktop, the installation follows manufacturer specifications and local building requirements. The surface gets proper compaction and finishing, then cures according to material requirements before you can use it.

Residential Driveway Paving Services

Complete Driveway Solutions

Platinum Paving handles new driveway installation, complete resurfacing, and repair services for residential properties throughout Greensand. We work with asphalt, concrete, and blacktop materials depending on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and performance requirements.

New installations include full excavation, proper base preparation, drainage solutions, and material installation with appropriate curing time. Resurfacing projects evaluate the existing base and either repair or replace it before applying new surface material.

Repair services address specific problems like cracks, settling, or drainage issues without requiring complete replacement when the underlying structure is sound. Each project includes material and workmanship warranties, so you know the investment is protected.

A newly paved asphalt driveway leads to a gray house. Yellow caution tape blocks the entrance, and construction materials and a white pickup truck are on the sides. Trees and dirt surround the area.
Most residential driveway installations take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and site conditions. Day one involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers material installation and initial compaction. Day three handles final finishing and cleanup. Weather can extend timelines, especially during New Jersey’s wet seasons. You’ll need to keep vehicles off new asphalt for 24-48 hours after installation to allow proper curing, though you can walk on it sooner.
Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better, making it popular in New Jersey. It’s easier to repair and can be resurfaced when it eventually wears. Concrete lasts longer and offers more design options but costs more initially and can crack in extreme temperature changes. Concrete repairs are more noticeable and expensive. For most Greensand homeowners, asphalt provides the best balance of performance, cost, and maintenance requirements given our climate.
Residential driveway paving typically runs $3-8 per square foot depending on material choice, site conditions, and project complexity. A standard two-car driveway averages $2,500-5,500 for asphalt and $4,000-8,000 for concrete. Factors affecting cost include excavation requirements, drainage needs, access difficulty, and material specifications. Resurfacing existing driveways costs less than complete replacement. The best approach is getting a detailed estimate based on your specific property and requirements.
We handle both new installations and repair services. Common repairs include crack sealing, pothole patching, edge restoration, and drainage improvements. Sometimes spot repairs are more cost-effective than complete replacement, especially when the base structure remains sound. We evaluate each situation and recommend the most practical solution. Repairs come with the same material and workmanship warranties as new installations, so you’re protected either way.
You’ll need to remove vehicles and any obstacles from the work area. Mark underground utilities if you haven’t already—New Jersey requires this for excavation work. Clear access routes for equipment and material delivery trucks. If you have landscaping near the driveway edges, consider protecting or relocating plants you want to keep. We handle everything else, including permits if required. Most residential projects don’t need special permits, but we confirm this during the initial site evaluation.
Properly installed asphalt driveways typically last 15-20 years with basic maintenance like occasional sealcoating. Concrete driveways can last 25-30 years or more. Actual lifespan depends on traffic load, weather exposure, soil conditions, and maintenance. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on all paving materials, but quality installation with proper base preparation significantly extends life. Regular maintenance like crack sealing and sealcoating can add years to any driveway’s useful life.
