Driveway Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your existing driveway and property drainage. We measure everything, check for underlying issues, and explain your material options without pushing you toward the most expensive choice.

Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This step separates professional installation from quick fixes. We remove old materials, grade for proper drainage, and install a solid foundation that prevents future settling and cracking.

Then we install your new asphalt or concrete surface using commercial-grade equipment. The final step involves cleanup and a walkthrough so you know exactly how to maintain your investment. Most residential driveways are completed within 1-2 days, weather permitting.

Residential Driveway Paving Services

Everything Your Driveway Project Needs

We provide complete new driveway installation using either asphalt or concrete, depending on your preferences and budget. We handle all excavation, base preparation, and surface installation with professional equipment.

Driveway resurfacing is available when your existing base is solid but the surface needs renewal. This option saves money while giving you a fresh, smooth driveway that looks completely new.

We also provide driveway repair services for specific problem areas like cracks, potholes, or drainage issues. Sometimes a targeted repair extends your driveway’s life by several years. Our South Brunswick Terrace experience means we can usually tell you upfront whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense.

How long does asphalt driveway installation take in South Brunswick Terrace?

Most residential driveway installations take 1-2 days from start to finish. Day one involves excavation, base preparation, and grading. Day two covers asphalt installation and final grading. Weather can extend this timeline, especially if we get rain during excavation. We’ll give you a realistic schedule upfront and keep you updated if conditions change. You can typically drive on your new asphalt driveway within 24-48 hours, though we recommend avoiding heavy vehicles for the first week while the surface fully cures.

What's the difference between asphalt and concrete driveway costs?

Asphalt typically costs 30-50% less than concrete for initial installation. A standard South Brunswick Terrace driveway runs $3-5 per square foot for asphalt versus $5-8 for concrete. However, concrete lasts longer and requires less maintenance over time. Asphalt needs seal coating every 3-5 years, while concrete can go decades with minimal upkeep. Your choice depends on upfront budget versus long-term maintenance preferences. We’ll break down both options with real numbers based on your specific driveway size and conditions.

How do I know if my driveway needs replacement or just resurfacing?

If your driveway has widespread cracking, significant settling, or drainage problems, you likely need full replacement. Surface issues like minor cracks, fading, or small potholes can often be handled with resurfacing. The key is the condition of the base underneath. We can assess this during a site visit by checking for soft spots, major settling, or structural damage. Resurfacing costs about half as much as replacement but only works when the foundation is solid. We’ll give you an honest assessment of which approach makes sense for your situation.

Will my new driveway handle New Jersey winters without cracking?

Properly installed driveways handle freeze-thaw cycles just fine when the base preparation is done correctly. The key is adequate excavation depth, proper stone base installation, and correct grading for drainage. Water is what causes winter damage, not cold temperatures alone. We excavate deeper than minimum requirements and use graded stone base that drains well. This prevents water from sitting under your driveway where it can freeze and cause heaving. We also seal asphalt driveways before winter to prevent water penetration through small surface cracks.

Do I need permits for driveway replacement in South Brunswick Terrace?

Most driveway replacements don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries and not changing drainage patterns. However, if you’re expanding the driveway, changing the grade significantly, or connecting to municipal drainage systems, permits may be required. We’re familiar with South Brunswick Terrace requirements and can check with the township if there’s any question about your specific project. When permits are needed, we can usually handle the application process for you. It’s always better to check upfront than deal with compliance issues later.

How long should I wait before sealing a new asphalt driveway?

New asphalt needs 6-12 months to cure properly before seal coating. Sealing too early traps oils and prevents proper curing, which can lead to soft spots and premature wear. The asphalt needs time to oxidize and harden naturally. We’ll give you specific timing recommendations based on your installation date and local weather conditions. After that initial waiting period, plan to seal coat every 3-5 years to maintain protection and appearance. We can remind you when it’s time for maintenance or handle the seal coating service ourselves.
