The peace of mind comes from knowing your investment is protected by proper installation techniques and quality materials designed to handle whatever our unpredictable weather brings.
Platinum Paving has been serving New Jersey communities for over two decades as a family-owned company that understands what works in our climate. We’ve paved countless driveways throughout Morris County and surrounding areas, learning exactly how to build surfaces that last.
Our team knows Wykertown’s rural properties often sit on larger lots with unique drainage considerations. We’ve handled everything from steep slopes to properties with challenging access, always delivering professional results.
Our reputation in the community comes from showing up when promised, completing work on schedule, and standing behind every installation with full insurance and guarantees.
The process starts with a site visit where we assess your current driveway or planned location, discuss your preferences, and provide a detailed estimate. We handle any required permits and coordinate with utility companies for marking if needed.
Site preparation involves clearing the area, proper grading to ensure water flows away from your foundation, and installing a compacted base that provides long-term stability. This foundation work is critical for preventing future settling or drainage issues.
Installation day brings professional equipment and experienced crews who install your new asphalt or concrete surface using proper compaction techniques. We’ll let you know exactly when you can safely drive on the finished surface and provide maintenance guidelines to protect your investment.

Asphalt remains the most popular choice for Wykertown homeowners because it handles our freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete while costing significantly less upfront. It’s flexible enough to move with ground shifts and can be repaired easily when needed.
Concrete offers longer lifespan and more design options but requires higher initial investment and can crack if the ground shifts during harsh winters. For most local properties, asphalt provides the best value and performance.
Both materials require proper drainage solutions, which we address during installation by grading the surface correctly and installing drainage systems when needed. We understand that poor drainage is the number one cause of premature driveway failure in our area.
Most driveway paving projects in Wykertown take 1-3 days to complete, depending on size and weather conditions. Day one typically involves site preparation and base work, day two handles material installation, and day three covers finishing touches and cleanup.
Weather can extend the timeline since asphalt and concrete shouldn’t be installed during rain or extreme temperatures. We provide realistic schedules upfront and update you if conditions change.
You’ll know exactly when you can park in your driveway again, with specific curing times provided based on the material chosen and current weather conditions.
Asphalt costs less initially and handles New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete. It’s easier to repair if damage occurs and can be resurfaced when it starts showing wear after 15-20 years.
Concrete lasts longer overall and offers more design options, but costs more upfront and can crack if the ground shifts during harsh winters. Concrete driveways typically last 30-40 years with minimal maintenance.
For most Wykertown homeowners, asphalt provides the best value considering our climate and typical usage patterns. We assess your specific situation, budget, and preferences to recommend the right material.
Driveway paving costs in Wykertown typically range from $4-8 per square foot for asphalt and $7-12 per square foot for concrete, including proper site preparation and professional installation. Total project costs depend on driveway size, current condition, and any drainage work needed.
A standard two-car driveway (24×40 feet) generally costs between $4,400-$7,700 for asphalt installation. Concrete for the same size runs $7,700-$11,500, while premium options like pavers start around $12,000.
Factors affecting price include existing driveway removal, drainage improvements, site accessibility, and permit requirements. We provide detailed estimates that include all necessary work with no surprise charges.
Permit requirements vary by township in New Jersey, and some areas require permits for driveway work while others don’t. The specific regulations depend on your exact location within Wykertown and the scope of work being performed.
We are familiar with local regulations and handle permit applications when required. We coordinate with township offices and utility companies for any necessary approvals or markings before starting work.
It’s always better to verify requirements upfront rather than face potential issues later. Our team takes care of this process so you don’t have to navigate municipal requirements yourself.
Proper drainage starts with correct grading during installation, ensuring water flows away from your foundation and doesn’t pool on the surface. This requires experienced contractors who understand local soil conditions and water flow patterns.
Drainage problems need to be addressed before installing new paving, or you’ll have the same issues within a few years. Sometimes this involves installing French drains, catch basins, or adjusting the slope to direct water properly.
We assess water flow during the initial consultation and include necessary drainage corrections in our paving projects. Poor drainage is the leading cause of premature driveway failure, so we address it completely from day one.
The best time for driveway installation in Wykertown is typically late spring through early fall when temperatures are consistently above 50°F and rain is less frequent. Asphalt and concrete both cure better in dry, moderate temperatures.
Winter installation is possible during mild conditions, but cold weather can affect material performance and curing times. Spring installation after the last freeze gives your new driveway the full growing season to settle properly.
Scheduling early in the season is recommended since quality contractors fill their schedules quickly. We suggest booking projects by early spring for optimal installation timing and to avoid the fall rush when everyone tries to beat the first freeze.
