Professional Asphalt Paving Services

Smooth Surfaces, Zero Headaches

Your driveway or parking lot should work for you, not against you. No more dodging potholes or watching water pool after every storm.

When asphalt is installed correctly, you get years of smooth driving surfaces that handle New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or settling. Proper drainage keeps water moving away from your foundation instead of creating problems.

You’ll have a surface that looks professional, functions reliably, and adds value to your property. No more explaining to visitors why they need to avoid certain spots or apologizing for the condition of your pavement.

Asphalt Installation Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

Every paving project starts with a site evaluation to assess drainage, base conditions, and access requirements. You’ll receive a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline.

Preparation involves excavating to proper depth, installing and compacting a stable base, and ensuring proper drainage slopes. This foundation work determines how long your pavement will last.

We install the asphalt using professional equipment, compact to specifications, and finish with clean edges. Most residential driveways are ready for light traffic within 24 hours, with full curing complete in a few days.

How long does a typical driveway paving project take?

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers asphalt installation and finishing. Weather can affect the timeline, and larger or more complex projects may require additional time. Commercial parking lots usually take several days to a week, depending on size and whether work needs to be phased around business operations.

What's the difference between asphalt and blacktop paving?

Asphalt and blacktop are essentially the same material – a mixture of aggregate and bitumen binder. The terms are often used interchangeably. Some contractors use “blacktop” to refer to smaller residential projects and “asphalt” for larger commercial work, but the material composition is nearly identical. What matters more is the quality of materials, proper installation techniques, and adequate base preparation regardless of what you call the surface material.

How do I know if I need a new driveway or just repairs?

If your driveway has widespread cracking, multiple potholes, or significant settling, replacement usually makes more sense than patching. Surface cracks and minor damage can often be repaired cost-effectively. Age is also a factor – driveways over 15-20 years old with multiple issues typically benefit from replacement. A site evaluation can determine whether repairs will provide lasting value or if you’re better off starting fresh with new pavement.

What should I expect to pay for driveway paving in Maple Meade?

Driveway paving costs depend on size, access, base conditions, and material specifications. Most residential driveways in the Maple Meade area range from $3-7 per square foot for complete replacement, including excavation and base work. Simple overlay projects cost less, while complex drainage or access issues increase the price. Every project is different, so accurate pricing requires a site visit and detailed estimate based on your specific conditions and requirements.

How long will my new asphalt driveway last?

Properly installed asphalt driveways typically last 15-25 years with basic maintenance. Longevity depends on base preparation quality, drainage, traffic load, and weather exposure. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on pavement, but proper installation techniques and adequate thickness help surfaces withstand these conditions. Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair extend pavement life significantly. Heavy vehicles or poor drainage can reduce lifespan.

When is the best time of year for paving work?

Late spring through early fall provides ideal conditions for asphalt paving in New Jersey. Temperatures need to be consistently above 50 degrees for proper compaction and curing. Summer and early fall are typically the busiest seasons, so scheduling in late spring or early summer often provides more flexibility. Winter paving is possible during warm spells but not recommended for optimal results. Weather delays are always possible, so some schedule flexibility helps ensure quality installation.
