Driveway Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we evaluate your existing driveway and drainage situation. We measure everything, check the current base condition, and identify any issues that need addressing before new paving begins.

Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems start if it’s done wrong. We remove old material completely, grade for proper drainage, and install the right base materials for your specific situation.

Then we install your new asphalt or concrete driveway using quality materials and proven techniques. We handle the details like proper compaction, edge work, and final grading so water flows away from your foundation instead of pooling.

Asphalt and Concrete Options

What's Included in Your Driveway Project

Every driveway project includes complete removal of old materials, proper base preparation, and professional installation of your chosen surface. We handle both asphalt and concrete installations, plus resurfacing for driveways that just need a new top layer.

You get proper grading for drainage, quality materials that handle freeze-thaw cycles, and clean edges that look professional. We also take care of connecting your new driveway to existing walkways or garage approaches.

For Vliettown properties, we pay special attention to drainage since many homes in the area deal with water management challenges. Your project includes whatever grading work is needed to direct water away from your foundation and prevent future problems.

How long does a new driveway installation take to complete?

Most residential driveway installations take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Day one involves excavation and base preparation. Day two is installation of your new asphalt or concrete surface. If weather cooperates and there are no unexpected drainage issues, many projects wrap up faster. Concrete driveways need additional curing time before you can drive on them, while asphalt is typically ready for light traffic within 24-48 hours.

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

Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better, making it popular for New Jersey driveways. It’s easier to repair if damage occurs and can be resurfaced when it shows wear. Concrete lasts longer overall and offers more design options, but costs more initially and can crack if not properly installed. For Vliettown’s climate, both work well when installed correctly with proper base preparation and drainage. Your choice often comes down to budget, appearance preferences, and how long you plan to stay in the home.

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

If your driveway has widespread cracking, significant settling, or drainage problems, complete replacement is usually the better choice. Surface issues like minor cracks, fading, or rough texture can often be handled with resurfacing. The key factor is the condition of the base underneath. If water has gotten under the surface and compromised the foundation, patching the top won’t solve the real problem. We evaluate the base condition during our initial assessment and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your situation and budget.

Will my new driveway handle New Jersey winters without cracking?

A properly installed driveway with correct base preparation and quality materials handles our freeze-thaw cycles well. The key is using the right thickness for your soil conditions and ensuring proper drainage so water doesn’t pool and freeze under the surface. We install driveways throughout this area specifically designed for our climate. While no driveway is completely immune to eventual wear, proper installation dramatically reduces winter damage and extends the life of your investment. Most of our installations go years without significant issues when maintained properly.

What should I expect to pay for driveway paving in Vliettown?

Driveway paving costs depend on size, material choice, site conditions, and how much prep work is needed. Asphalt typically runs less per square foot than concrete, but every project is different based on drainage requirements and base conditions. Properties with challenging drainage or poor existing bases require more work upfront. We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work needed. This way you know exactly what you’re paying for and can make an informed decision about your investment.

Do you handle permits and property line issues for driveway projects?

We help navigate local permit requirements and can advise on property line considerations, though final responsibility for permits typically stays with the homeowner. Most driveway replacements in existing locations don’t require permits, but expansions or significant changes might. We recommend checking with Vliettown’s building department if you’re unsure. For property line questions, we work with your existing driveway footprint unless you specifically want changes. If you’re expanding or moving your driveway location, a property survey might be needed to avoid boundary issues with neighbors.
