New Driveway Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we evaluate your existing driveway and property drainage. We measure everything, check the current base condition, and discuss your material preferences. You get a detailed written estimate that breaks down exactly what we’re doing and why.

Next comes the preparation work. We remove the old surface if needed, excavate to the proper depth, and install a solid stone base. This foundation work determines how long your driveway will last, so we don’t rush it.

Then we install your new asphalt or concrete surface using professional-grade equipment. We ensure proper thickness, smooth transitions, and correct grading for water runoff. After completion, you get care instructions and warranty information. The whole process typically takes 2-3 days depending on size and complexity.

Concrete and Blacktop Driveway Options

Choose the Right Material for You

Asphalt driveways cost less upfront and can be installed quickly. They’re flexible enough to handle ground movement without cracking, and repairs are straightforward when needed. Most Yardley Village homeowners choose asphalt for its balance of durability and affordability.

Concrete driveways last longer and offer more design options. They handle heavy vehicles well and don’t soften in summer heat. The initial investment is higher, but concrete can last 30+ years with minimal maintenance.

Both materials work well in New Jersey’s climate when installed properly. We help you choose based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and long-term plans. Either way, you get professional installation with the right base preparation and proper drainage to ensure lasting performance.

A newly paved asphalt driveway leads to a gray house. Yellow caution tape blocks the entrance, and construction materials and a white pickup truck are on the sides. Trees and dirt surround the area.
Most residential driveway installations take 2-3 days from start to finish. Day one involves removing the old surface and preparing the base. Day two focuses on installing the stone base and allowing it to settle properly. Day three is when we install the new asphalt or concrete surface. Weather can affect timing, especially for concrete work which needs specific temperature conditions. We always give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. You can typically drive on a new asphalt driveway within 24-48 hours, while concrete needs about a week to fully cure before heavy vehicle use.
Asphalt typically costs 30-50% less than concrete for the initial installation. A standard asphalt driveway in Yardley Village runs about $3-5 per square foot installed, while concrete ranges from $6-10 per square foot. However, concrete lasts longer and requires less maintenance over time. Asphalt needs resealing every 3-5 years and may need repairs sooner, while concrete can go decades with minimal upkeep. The best choice depends on your upfront budget and long-term plans. We provide detailed estimates for both options so you can make an informed decision based on your specific situation and preferences.
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 fixed with resurfacing or targeted repairs. The base condition is key – if water has gotten underneath and compromised the foundation, resurfacing won’t solve the problem long-term. We evaluate the existing base, check for proper drainage, and look at the overall structural integrity. A quick patch job might seem cheaper now, but it’s not worth it if the underlying issues will cause problems again within a few years. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what your driveway actually needs.
A professionally installed driveway typically recovers 60-70% of its cost in added home value, but the real benefit is in curb appeal and buyer perception. A cracked, deteriorating driveway makes your entire property look neglected, while a smooth, well-maintained driveway suggests the home has been properly cared for. Real estate agents consistently report that driveways are one of the first things potential buyers notice. Beyond resale value, you get daily benefits from easier snow removal, better drainage, and not having to navigate around potholes. The investment pays off whether you’re planning to sell soon or stay for years. Quality installation ensures these benefits last for decades.
New asphalt driveways need sealcoating every 3-5 years to protect against water penetration and UV damage. This involves cleaning the surface and applying a protective coating that extends the pavement’s life significantly. You’ll also want to fill any small cracks that develop before they spread, especially after harsh winters. Regular cleaning helps prevent staining from oil or other automotive fluids. Snow removal should be done carefully – avoid metal shovels or aggressive ice chopping that can damage the surface. Most maintenance is straightforward and inexpensive compared to major repairs or replacement. We provide specific care instructions with every installation and can handle the maintenance work when needed.
Asphalt driveways can typically handle light vehicle traffic within 24-48 hours after installation, but avoid heavy trucks or turning wheels while stationary for the first week. Concrete driveways need about 7 days before regular vehicle use and shouldn’t bear heavy loads for several weeks while fully curing. Temperature affects curing time – hot weather speeds the process while cold weather slows it down. We provide specific instructions based on the material used, weather conditions, and your driveway’s particular installation. Walking on the surface is usually fine within a few hours for both materials. Following the recommended waiting period ensures your driveway reaches full strength and durability. Rushing this step can cause permanent damage that’s expensive to repair.
