Driveway Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we assess your existing driveway and drainage situation. Every property is different, and New Dover’s soil conditions require specific approaches to ensure long-term stability.

We handle all the prep work – proper excavation, base material installation, and grading for optimal drainage. This foundation work is what separates driveways that last from ones that crack within a year or two.

Then comes the paving itself, using professional-grade equipment and materials designed for New Jersey’s weather extremes. We finish with proper compaction and sealing to protect your investment from day one.

Complete Driveway Solutions for Your Home

We handle both asphalt and concrete driveway installation, plus resurfacing for driveways that need a fresh start without complete replacement. Every project includes proper site preparation, professional-grade materials, and thorough cleanup.

Our asphalt driveway paving works well for most New Dover homes – cost-effective, durable, and ready for use quickly. Concrete driveway installation offers different benefits, especially for decorative applications or specific drainage requirements.

Driveway resurfacing gives you a new surface over your existing base when the foundation is still solid. It’s often the smart choice for homeowners dealing with surface cracks and wear but don’t need complete reconstruction.

How long does asphalt driveway installation take to complete?

Most residential driveway installations take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day one covers excavation and base preparation. Day two handles the actual paving and initial compaction. Day three involves final touches and cleanup. Weather can affect timing – we won’t pour asphalt in rain or extreme temperatures because it compromises the final result. You can typically drive on your new asphalt driveway within 24-48 hours, though we recommend avoiding heavy vehicles for the first week while it fully cures.

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

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete. It’s flexible enough to move slightly without cracking, and repairs are straightforward when needed. Concrete lasts longer overall and offers more decorative options, but it costs more initially and can crack if the ground shifts. For most New Dover homeowners, asphalt provides the best balance of durability, cost, and weather resistance. We’ll walk through both options during your estimate so you can make the right choice for your specific situation and budget.

How much does driveway paving cost in New Dover?

Asphalt driveway installation typically runs $3-7 per square foot, depending on your site conditions and prep work needed. Concrete costs more, usually $4-10 per square foot. Driveway resurfacing costs less than complete replacement – often 40-60% less when your existing base is in good shape. The final price depends on your driveway size, current condition, drainage requirements, and access for our equipment. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.

Do you handle permits and inspections for driveway work?

Yes, we handle all necessary permits and inspections required by New Dover and Morris County. Most driveway resurfacing projects don’t require permits, but new installations or significant changes to drainage often do. We know the local requirements and take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to navigate township offices. Our work meets all local building codes, and we coordinate any required inspections. This is part of working with a licensed contractor – you get peace of mind that everything is done properly and legally.

What kind of warranty do you provide on driveway work?

We provide a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship. Asphalt installations include warranty protection against settling, cracking due to improper installation, and drainage issues caused by our work. The specific terms depend on your project scope and site conditions, which we’ll detail in your contract. We stand behind our work because we use proper techniques and quality materials. If something goes wrong due to our installation, we’ll make it right. This warranty doesn’t cover damage from heavy vehicles, ground shifting, or normal wear over time.

Can you pave over my existing driveway or does it need removal?

It depends on your current driveway’s condition and what’s causing the problems. If the base is stable and drainage is adequate, driveway resurfacing over the existing surface often works well and costs significantly less. However, if you have major settling, poor drainage, or base failure, complete removal and reinstallation provides better long-term results. We’ll assess your specific situation during the estimate and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your driveway and budget. Sometimes the cheaper option upfront costs more in the long run if the underlying problems aren’t addressed properly.
