What Good Paving Actually Gets You

You get a driveway that doesn’t crack apart after two winters. Your parking lot handles heavy traffic without turning into a pothole minefield. Water flows where it should instead of pooling against your foundation.

Good paving means you stop worrying about your pavement. No more embarrassing cracks when clients visit. No more water damage eating away at your property value. No more throwing money at patch jobs that fail six months later.

When it’s done right the first time, your asphalt becomes something you forget about – in the best possible way. It just works, year after year, handling whatever New Jersey weather throws at it.

Driveway Paving Process Gillilandtown

Here's Exactly How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out and actually look at your property. We check drainage, measure everything, and give you a written estimate with no surprises. You know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.

Next, we prep the area properly – removing old pavement if needed, grading for proper drainage, and compacting the base. This foundation work is what separates paving that lasts from paving that fails. Most problems start here, so we don’t skip steps.

Then we lay the asphalt using commercial equipment that compacts it right. We’re not rolling it with a hand tamper and hoping for the best. The final result is smooth, properly sloped pavement that handles water runoff and daily use without breaking down.

Commercial Residential Paving Contractor

What's Included in Every Paving Job

Every project starts with proper site preparation and drainage planning. We handle everything from small residential driveways to large commercial parking lots, using the same attention to detail regardless of size.

You get quality asphalt materials, professional-grade equipment, and experienced crews who know how to handle New Jersey’s climate challenges. We account for freeze-thaw cycles and heavy traffic patterns that destroy poorly installed pavement.

Our work comes with a warranty because we stand behind what we do. You also get cleanup when we’re finished – we don’t leave you dealing with debris and mess after spending your money on new pavement.

How long does asphalt paving take to complete?

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and prep work needed. Commercial parking lots can take several days to a week, depending on square footage and complexity. Weather affects timing – we won’t lay asphalt in rain or extreme temperatures because it compromises the final result. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if conditions change. You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, but we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy vehicles or placing dumpsters on it.

What's the difference between asphalt paving and blacktop?

Asphalt and blacktop are essentially the same material – a mixture of aggregate (stone and sand) bound together with bitumen. The terms are used interchangeably in New Jersey. What matters more is the quality of materials and installation process. We use hot-mix asphalt that’s designed for your specific application, whether that’s a residential driveway or commercial parking lot. The aggregate size and asphalt content varies based on traffic load and climate conditions. Proper installation and base preparation matter more than what you call the material.

How much does driveway paving cost in Gillilandtown?

Driveway paving typically runs $3-7 per square foot, depending on prep work needed, access to your property, and current asphalt prices. A standard two-car driveway usually costs $2,500-5,000. If we need to remove old pavement or do extensive grading, costs go up. Commercial parking lots have different pricing based on thickness requirements and traffic load. We provide written estimates after seeing your property because every job has different challenges. Beware of quotes that seem too good to be true – they usually are.

Do I need permits for driveway paving in Gillilandtown?

Most driveway replacement projects don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries and not changing drainage patterns. However, if you’re expanding your driveway, adding new access points, or significantly changing grades, you may need township approval. Commercial paving projects typically require permits and inspections. We’re familiar with Gillilandtown requirements and can guide you through the process if permits are needed. It’s always better to check first rather than deal with violations later. We’ll let you know during our initial consultation if your project needs township approval.

When is the best time of year for paving?

Late spring through early fall is ideal for asphalt paving in New Jersey. We need temperatures above 50°F and dry conditions for proper installation. Summer and early fall are typically best because asphalt stays workable longer in warm weather, allowing for better compaction. Winter paving is possible during mild spells, but not ideal. Spring can be tricky due to ground thaw and wet conditions. We don’t rush jobs to meet arbitrary deadlines – it’s better to wait for proper conditions than compromise the quality of your pavement. Good paving companies stay busy during peak season, so plan ahead.

How long will my new asphalt driveway last?

Properly installed asphalt driveways typically last 15-25 years with basic maintenance. The lifespan depends on several factors: quality of base preparation, asphalt thickness, traffic load, and climate exposure. Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years can extend life significantly by protecting against water penetration and UV damage. Commercial parking lots may need replacement sooner due to heavier traffic and larger temperature fluctuations. The key is proper installation from the start – you can’t fix poor base work with good asphalt on top. We build driveways to last because callbacks and warranty work cut into our profits.
