Your Property Value Just Went Up

A properly installed driveway does more than just look good. It handles the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy cheaper work, channels water away from your foundation, and gives you a surface that won’t crack under pressure.

You get a driveway that actually improves your daily life instead of creating problems. No more dodging potholes on your way to the garage. No more explaining to guests why they need to park on the street.

The right materials and installation technique mean you’re done dealing with driveway issues for decades. That’s the difference between doing it right and doing it over.

Driveway Paving Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we remove your old driveway completely and examine the base underneath. Poor base preparation is why most driveways fail early, so we make sure the foundation is solid before moving forward.

Next comes proper grading and drainage setup. Water is the enemy of any driveway, so we create the right slope and install drainage where needed. This step prevents the pooling and ice issues that cause major problems later.

Then we install your new asphalt or concrete driveway using professional-grade equipment and materials. We compact everything properly and finish with clean edges that look professional. The whole process typically takes 1-2 days depending on size, and we handle all cleanup before we leave.

How long does a new driveway installation typically take?

Most residential driveway installations take 1-2 days from start to finish. Day one involves removing the old driveway, preparing the base, and setting up proper drainage. Day two is when we install the new asphalt or concrete surface. Larger driveways or those requiring extensive base work might take an additional day. Weather can affect timing, especially for concrete work which needs specific temperature conditions. We’ll give you an exact timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if anything changes during the project.

What's the difference between asphalt and concrete driveways?

Asphalt costs less upfront and can be installed faster, usually ready to drive on within 24-48 hours. It handles freeze-thaw cycles well but needs periodic sealing every 3-5 years. Concrete costs more initially but lasts longer with minimal maintenance. It takes about a week to fully cure before you can drive on it. Both work well in New Jersey climate when installed properly. Your choice often comes down to budget, timeline, and how much ongoing maintenance you want to handle. We can help you decide which makes more sense for your specific situation.

How much does driveway paving cost in Washington Valley?

Driveway paving costs depend on size, material choice, and how much prep work is needed. Asphalt typically runs $3-7 per square foot installed, while concrete ranges from $6-12 per square foot. A standard two-car driveway usually falls between $2,500-6,000 depending on these factors. Driveways needing extensive base repair or drainage work cost more. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises or hidden charges during the project.

Can you resurface my existing driveway instead of replacing it?

Resurfacing works when your existing driveway has a solid base but the surface is worn or has minor cracking. We add a new layer of asphalt over the existing surface, which costs about half what full replacement runs. However, if your driveway has major cracks, drainage issues, or base problems, resurfacing just covers up problems that will resurface quickly. During our estimate, we’ll check the condition of your existing driveway and let you know whether resurfacing makes sense or if full replacement is the better long-term investment.

Do you handle permits and what about drainage issues?

Yes, we handle all required permits for your driveway project. Most residential driveway replacements in Washington Valley need basic permits, which we pull as part of our service. Drainage is a critical part of every installation – poor drainage destroys driveways faster than anything else. We evaluate your property’s drainage patterns and install proper slope and drainage solutions during construction. This includes connecting to existing drainage systems or creating new ones where needed. Proper drainage work is included in our installation price, not an expensive add-on.

What maintenance does a new driveway need?

Asphalt driveways need sealcoating every 3-5 years to protect against water penetration and UV damage. This costs a few hundred dollars and extends the life significantly. You should also fill any small cracks quickly before they become bigger problems. Concrete driveways need very little maintenance – occasional cleaning and sealing joints if needed. Both materials benefit from keeping them clear of snow and ice with plastic shovels rather than metal ones. We’ll give you specific maintenance guidelines when we complete your project, including recommendations for local companies that handle sealcoating if you prefer not to do it yourself.
