What You Get With Professional Paving

Your driveway stops being a problem you think about every time you pull in. No more dodging potholes or worrying about what visitors think when they see those cracks spreading across your entrance.

A properly paved driveway handles New Brunswick’s freeze-thaw cycles without breaking apart. It drains water away from your foundation instead of creating puddles that turn into ice patches. You get smooth access to your garage and a clean look that actually adds to your property value.

The difference shows up immediately and lasts for years. You’re not dealing with temporary fixes that need attention every season—you’re investing in something that works right the first time.

Driveway Paving Process

Here's How Your Project Works

We start with a site evaluation to check your current base, drainage patterns, and any issues that need addressing before we lay new material. This isn’t a quick walk-around—we’re looking at soil conditions, slope, and how water moves across your property.

Next comes the prep work. We remove old material if needed, grade the base properly, and make sure drainage flows away from your foundation. This foundation work determines how long your new driveway lasts, so we don’t rush it.

Then we install your new asphalt or concrete surface using professional-grade equipment. The material gets compacted properly and finished to the right grade. We clean up completely and walk you through any curing time or care instructions before we consider the job finished.

Asphalt and Concrete Driveway Options

What's Included in Your Driveway Project

You get complete driveway installation from base preparation through final finishing. We handle asphalt driveway paving, concrete installations, resurfacing over existing surfaces, and blacktop repairs that actually last.

Every project includes proper base preparation, professional-grade materials, and the equipment needed to compact and finish everything correctly. We also address drainage issues and make sure your new surface connects properly to existing walkways or garage floors.

New Brunswick properties often need specific attention to drainage and base stability because of our soil conditions. We factor in these local requirements automatically—it’s part of knowing the area and understanding what works here long-term.

How long does a new driveway installation take to complete?

Most residential driveway projects take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. The first day typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers material installation and initial finishing. If weather cooperates and there are no drainage complications, smaller driveways can sometimes be completed in a single day. Concrete driveways need additional curing time before you can drive on them—usually 7 days for full weight. Asphalt can typically handle light traffic within 24-48 hours but benefits from a few days of careful use before normal traffic patterns resume.

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

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better, which matters in our climate. It’s also easier to repair if damage occurs and can be resurfaced when it starts showing wear. Concrete lasts longer overall and offers more design options, but costs more initially and can crack if the ground shifts. Both work well in New Brunswick when installed properly with good base preparation. Your choice usually comes down to budget, appearance preferences, and how long you plan to stay in your home. We can walk through the pros and cons based on your specific situation and help you decide what makes sense.

How much does driveway paving cost in New Brunswick?

Driveway paving costs vary based on size, material choice, current condition, and site-specific factors like drainage needs or accessibility. Asphalt typically runs less per square foot than concrete, but every project is different. Factors that affect pricing include how much old material needs removal, whether the base requires rebuilding, drainage improvements, and the complexity of connecting to existing surfaces. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific situation because accurate pricing requires seeing the actual conditions. A proper estimate covers all the work needed, not just the surface installation, so you know what to expect without surprises.

Do you handle driveway repairs or just new installations?

We handle both repairs and complete new installations. Repair options include crack sealing, pothole patching, and resurfacing over existing driveways that have good structural foundation. Sometimes a repair makes sense economically, and sometimes starting fresh is actually more cost-effective long-term. The decision depends on the extent of current damage, the age of your existing driveway, and what kind of base preparation was done originally. We’ll assess your current situation honestly and recommend the approach that gives you the best value. If a repair will buy you several more years of good service, we’ll tell you that instead of pushing for unnecessary replacement.

What should I do to prepare my property before paving starts?

Clear vehicles and any stored items from the driveway and immediate work area. We’ll need access for equipment, so make sure gates are unlocked and there’s a clear path to the work site. If you have sprinkler heads or landscape lighting near the driveway edges, mark them clearly so our crew can work around them safely. Let your neighbors know about the project timeline since there will be truck traffic and some noise during installation. We handle most of the preparation work including any utility marking that’s required, but having the area clear and accessible helps us start efficiently and stay on schedule.

How long will my new driveway last before needing replacement?

A properly installed asphalt driveway typically lasts 15-20 years with basic maintenance, while concrete can go 25-30 years or more. The actual lifespan depends heavily on the quality of base preparation, local weather exposure, and how well you maintain it over time. Simple maintenance like crack sealing and periodic resurfacing can extend asphalt life significantly. Concrete requires less ongoing maintenance but can be more expensive to repair if problems develop. New Brunswick’s climate is reasonably friendly to both materials when they’re installed correctly with proper drainage. We install driveways expecting them to perform well for decades, not just a few years.
