Here's Exactly How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your current situation and discuss your goals. We’ll walk your property, check drainage patterns, and explain your options for asphalt versus concrete based on your specific needs and budget.

Next comes the preparation work that separates professional installation from amateur jobs. We excavate to proper depth, install the right base materials, and ensure proper grading for drainage. This foundation work determines whether your driveway lasts 20+ years or starts cracking within two seasons.

Finally, we install your new surface using commercial-grade materials and equipment. For asphalt, we ensure proper compaction and temperature control. For concrete, we handle the timing and finishing that creates a durable, attractive surface. You get a driveway that looks great and performs even better.

Complete Driveway Solutions for Morris County Homes

We handle everything from complete new driveway installation to resurfacing existing driveways that still have good bones. Whether you’re building new construction or replacing a driveway that’s reached the end of its useful life, we’ve got the experience and equipment to do it right.

Our asphalt driveway paving uses hot-mix asphalt designed for residential applications, installed with proper base preparation and compaction. For concrete driveways, we use reinforced concrete with proper joint placement to prevent cracking. Both options include proper drainage solutions to protect your investment.

Morris County’s mix of older homes and new construction means we regularly work with everything from historic properties with unique access challenges to modern homes requiring contemporary design elements. We adapt our approach to your specific situation while maintaining the quality standards that keep our customers satisfied.

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 2-4 days depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers base material installation and grading. The final day handles the asphalt or concrete installation. Weather can extend timelines, especially during spring and fall when temperature fluctuations affect material performance. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions require adjustments.
Both materials work well in Morris County, but your choice depends on budget, aesthetics, and long-term plans. Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles well, but requires periodic sealing. Concrete costs more initially but lasts longer with minimal maintenance and offers more design options. If you’re planning to stay long-term and want maximum curb appeal, concrete often makes sense. For cost-effective durability, asphalt is hard to beat.
Resurfacing means applying a new layer of asphalt over your existing driveway, which works when the base is still solid but the surface is worn. Complete replacement involves removing everything down to the subgrade and starting fresh. If your driveway has major cracks, drainage issues, or base failure, resurfacing is just putting lipstick on a pig. We’ll assess your current driveway honestly and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your situation and budget.
Costs vary based on size, materials, site conditions, and complexity, but expect $3-7 per square foot for asphalt and $6-12 for concrete. A typical two-car driveway runs $2,500-5,000 for asphalt or $4,000-8,000 for concrete. Factors like excavation requirements, drainage solutions, and site access affect pricing. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions, typically May through October. Asphalt installation requires warm temperatures for proper compaction, while concrete needs moderate temperatures to cure properly. We can work in cooler weather with proper precautions, but extreme cold or wet conditions compromise quality. Spring and fall are our busiest seasons, so booking early ensures you get your preferred timing.
Permit requirements vary by municipality within Morris County. Most towns require permits for new driveways or significant expansions, while simple resurfacing often doesn’t need permits. We handle the permit process for our customers because we know the local requirements and have established relationships with municipal offices. This saves you time and ensures everything meets local codes and zoning requirements.
