Driveway Paving Process Metuchen

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with a site visit to assess your current pavement and discuss your needs. You’ll get a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline so you know exactly what to expect.

Preparation is where quality begins. We properly grade the base, address drainage issues, and ensure the foundation can support the new asphalt. Poor preparation causes most paving failures, so we don’t cut corners here.

Installation happens quickly once prep work is complete. We use professional-grade equipment and hot-mix asphalt designed for our climate. The surface is rolled and finished properly, then needs time to cure before you can drive on it.

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. The first day involves excavation, grading, and base preparation. Asphalt installation typically happens on day two. You’ll need to stay off the new surface for 24-48 hours to allow proper curing. Weather conditions can affect timing, and we’ll always let you know if delays are necessary for quality results.
Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete, which matters in New Jersey. It’s also easier to repair if damage occurs. Concrete lasts longer but costs significantly more and can crack from winter weather. Asphalt typically needs resealing every 3-5 years, while concrete requires less maintenance but is harder to fix when problems develop. For most homeowners, asphalt provides better value and performance.
If more than 30% of your pavement has cracks, potholes, or drainage issues, replacement usually makes more sense than patching. Surface cracks and minor damage can often be repaired cost-effectively. However, if the base is failing or water is pooling regularly, repairs won’t solve the underlying problem. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution that actually fixes the issue long-term.
Residential driveways typically range from $3-7 per square foot, depending on site conditions, thickness requirements, and prep work needed. A standard two-car driveway runs $2,500-5,000 for complete replacement. Factors affecting price include excavation requirements, drainage improvements, and base preparation needs. We provide detailed written estimates so you understand exactly what’s included and why certain work is necessary for long-term performance.
Properly installed asphalt driveways last 15-25 years with basic maintenance. The key factors are quality installation, proper drainage, and regular sealcoating every 3-5 years. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on pavement, but quality materials and proper installation techniques help your driveway handle seasonal changes. Avoiding heavy vehicles and addressing small cracks quickly also extends lifespan significantly.
