Driveway Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your existing driveway and discuss your needs. We measure the area, check drainage, and explain your options for asphalt or concrete installation.

Next comes preparation. We remove old pavement if needed, grade the area properly, and install a solid base. This foundation work determines how long your new driveway will last.

Then we install your new surface using professional equipment and techniques. For asphalt driveways, we apply hot mix at the right temperature and compact it properly. Concrete installations get proper reinforcement and finishing.

Final step is cleanup and a walkthrough to make sure everything meets our standards and yours.

Asphalt and Concrete Options

What's Included in Your Installation

Every driveway project includes proper site preparation, quality materials, and professional installation. We handle excavation, grading, and base preparation to ensure your new surface has the foundation it needs.

For asphalt driveways, we use hot mix designed for residential applications and apply it at proper thickness for vehicle traffic. Concrete installations include reinforcement options and finishing techniques that match your home’s style.

We also address drainage issues that could cause problems later. Proper grading and water management are part of every installation because standing water destroys driveways faster than anything else.

How long does a new driveway installation take to complete?

Most residential driveway installations take 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves removal of old pavement and site preparation. Day two is when we install the new asphalt or concrete surface. Concrete driveways need additional curing time before you can drive on them, usually 7 days for full strength. Asphalt driveways can typically handle light traffic within 24-48 hours. Weather conditions can affect timing, especially for concrete work which shouldn’t be done in extreme temperatures.

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

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better, making it popular in New Jersey. It’s easier to repair if damage occurs and can be resurfaced when it starts showing wear. Concrete lasts longer overall and offers more design options like stamped patterns or colors. However, concrete can crack in freeze-thaw conditions and repairs are more noticeable. Both materials work well when installed properly, so the choice often comes down to budget, appearance preferences, and long-term maintenance considerations.

How much does driveway paving cost in Mettler?

Driveway paving costs depend on size, material choice, site conditions, and preparation needed. Asphalt typically runs less per square foot than concrete, but both require proper base preparation for long-term performance. Factors that affect price include removing existing pavement, addressing drainage issues, and site accessibility. The best approach is getting a detailed estimate based on your specific situation. We provide written estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work needed so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.

Do you handle driveway repairs or just new installations?

We handle both repairs and new installations. For minor issues like small cracks or settling, repairs can extend your driveway’s life significantly. However, when you’re dealing with extensive cracking, multiple potholes, or drainage problems, replacement often makes more financial sense. We’ll assess your current driveway honestly and explain whether repair or replacement gives you better value. Sometimes a repair buys you a few more years while you plan for eventual replacement. Other times, continuing to patch problems costs more than starting fresh.

What kind of maintenance does a new driveway need?

Asphalt driveways benefit from sealcoating every 2-3 years to protect against water penetration and UV damage. Keep the surface clean and address small cracks quickly before they spread. Concrete driveways need less regular maintenance but should be sealed periodically and kept clean of oil stains. Both materials last longer when you avoid using rock salt in winter – sand or calcium chloride are better options. The key is addressing small issues before they become big problems that require major repairs.

Can you install a driveway in winter months?

Weather definitely affects driveway installation timing. Asphalt installation requires temperatures above freezing and dry conditions because the material needs to compact properly. Concrete work is even more temperature-sensitive and can’t be done when freezing temperatures are expected during the curing process. Late fall and early spring can work depending on weather patterns. We monitor forecasts carefully and won’t start work if conditions aren’t right for proper installation. It’s better to wait for good weather than rush a job that won’t perform properly.
