What You Get With Quality Paving

Your driveway takes a beating every day. Cars, weather, time—it all adds up. When you invest in professional driveway paving, you’re getting more than just a smooth surface.

You get a driveway that actually drains water away from your foundation instead of pooling it there. You get materials and installation techniques that handle New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking apart in two years. You get a surface that makes your property look maintained and valuable.

Most importantly, you get to stop worrying about potholes, cracks, and that sinking feeling every time you pull into your own driveway. A properly installed driveway should work for you, not against you.

Lamington Driveway Paving Contractors

We Know New Jersey Driveways

We’ve been installing and repairing driveways throughout Lamington and the surrounding areas for years. We understand what works here and what doesn’t.

New Jersey weather is tough on pavement. The freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rains, and temperature swings require specific approaches to base preparation, material selection, and drainage design. We’ve seen what happens when contractors cut corners or use techniques that work in other climates but fail here.

That’s why we focus on doing the job right the first time. Proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation techniques that account for local conditions. It costs more upfront, but it saves you money and headaches down the road.

Driveway Paving Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your current driveway and drainage situation. Every property is different, and we need to understand what we’re working with before we can recommend the best approach.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems start if it’s done wrong. We remove the old surface, grade for proper drainage, and install a solid base that can handle the weight and weather conditions it’ll face.

Then we install your new driveway surface—whether that’s asphalt or concrete—using proper techniques and quality materials. We pay attention to details like edge work, compaction, and finishing because these details determine how long your driveway will last.

Finally, we clean up the job site and walk you through any maintenance recommendations. A good installation should give you years of trouble-free use, but knowing how to care for it properly helps maximize that lifespan.

Asphalt and Concrete Driveway Options

What's Included in Your Driveway Project

Every driveway project includes complete excavation, proper base preparation, and professional installation of your chosen surface material. We handle all the details—from permits to cleanup—so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors or worry about whether the job is being done right.

For asphalt driveways, we use quality hot-mix asphalt and proper compaction techniques to create a smooth, durable surface. Concrete driveways get reinforcement and proper curing to handle our local climate conditions. Both options include attention to drainage and edge work that prevent common failure points.

We also handle driveway resurfacing when your existing base is solid but the surface needs renewal. This can be a cost-effective option that gives you a fresh, smooth driveway without the expense of complete reconstruction. We’ll assess your current driveway and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your situation and budget.

How long does a new driveway installation typically take?

Most residential driveway installations take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Day one usually involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers the actual paving or concrete pour. Day three handles finishing work and cleanup. Weather can affect the timeline, especially for concrete projects that need proper curing conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate process and keep you updated if anything changes during the work.

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

Asphalt typically costs less upfront and can be driven on sooner after installation. It’s also easier to repair if damage occurs. Concrete costs more initially but can last longer with proper installation and maintenance. It also offers more design options if you want decorative finishes. Both materials work well in New Jersey’s climate when installed properly. The choice often comes down to budget, aesthetics, and how long you plan to stay in the home. We can walk through the pros and cons of each option based on your specific situation.

How do I know if I need resurfacing or complete replacement?

If your driveway has widespread cracking, significant settling, or drainage problems, you probably need complete replacement. Surface issues like minor cracks, small potholes, or worn areas might be candidates for resurfacing if the underlying base is still solid. We assess the condition of both the surface and the base during our estimate process. Resurfacing can save money when it’s appropriate, but trying to resurface over a failing base just delays the inevitable and wastes your money. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what your driveway actually needs.

How soon can I drive on my new driveway?

For asphalt driveways, you can typically drive on the surface within 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions and temperature. Concrete driveways need longer—usually 7 days before you can drive on them safely. We’ll give you specific timing based on the materials used and current weather conditions. Walking on the surface is usually fine much sooner, but we’ll mark off areas that need more time to cure properly. Rushing this process can damage your new driveway, so it’s worth waiting for our all-clear.

What kind of maintenance does a new driveway need?

Asphalt driveways benefit from sealcoating every 2-3 years to protect against weather and extend their lifespan. Concrete driveways need occasional cleaning and may benefit from sealing, especially if you choose a decorative finish. Both materials should be kept clear of snow and ice using appropriate methods—avoid metal shovels and harsh chemicals that can damage the surface. Address small cracks or issues quickly before they become bigger problems. We’ll provide specific maintenance recommendations based on your driveway material and local conditions.

Do you handle permits and other requirements for driveway work?

Yes, we handle permit applications and ensure all work meets local building codes and requirements. Different municipalities have different rules about driveway work, especially regarding drainage, setbacks, and connections to public roads. We’re familiar with Lamington’s requirements and will take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to navigate the permit process yourself. This is included in our service—you won’t get surprise fees for permit handling. We’ll let you know upfront if your project requires permits and factor that into the timeline and cost estimate.
