Driveway Paving Process

Here's How We Build Lasting Pavement

First, we evaluate your existing surface and drainage. Poor drainage kills pavement faster than anything else, so we address water flow issues before laying new asphalt.

Next comes excavation and base preparation. This is where most problems start if it’s done wrong. We remove old material, grade for proper drainage, and compact a solid stone base that won’t shift or settle.

Then we apply the asphalt in lifts, compacting each layer with commercial-grade equipment. The final surface gets rolled smooth and sealed at the edges. You get pavement that’s built to handle traffic and weather from day one.

A properly installed asphalt driveway lasts 15-20 years in New Jersey with basic maintenance. The key is proper base preparation and drainage. Many driveways fail early because contractors skip these critical steps to save time and money. We excavate to proper depth, install a compacted stone base, and grade for water runoff. This foundation work is what separates driveways that last decades from ones that crack and settle within a few years. Annual sealcoating every 2-3 years extends the life even further.
Commercial paving requires thicker asphalt and stronger base materials to handle heavier traffic loads. Residential driveways typically use 2-3 inches of asphalt over a 6-8 inch stone base. Commercial parking lots need 3-4 inches of asphalt over 8-12 inches of compacted stone base. Commercial projects also require ADA compliance, proper drainage systems, and line striping. The installation process is similar, but commercial work demands higher material specifications and more precise grading to handle truck traffic and meet code requirements.
Asphalt paving costs $3-7 per square foot depending on the project scope, access, and site conditions. Simple driveway overlays cost less than full-depth installations that require excavation and new base material. Factors affecting price include existing surface condition, drainage requirements, thickness needed, and site accessibility. We provide detailed written estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Emergency repairs and small patches cost more per square foot due to mobilization costs.
Most driveway repaving projects don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries. However, new driveways, driveway extensions, or changes to drainage patterns typically need permits from South Brunswick Township. We help determine permit requirements during the estimate process and can handle permit applications if needed. HOA approval may also be required in some neighborhoods. It’s better to check requirements upfront than deal with compliance issues later. We’re familiar with local codes and can guide you through the process.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt paving in New Jersey. Asphalt needs warm temperatures to cure properly – ideally above 50 degrees at night. We can work in cooler weather but may need to adjust our process. Summer heat can make installation challenging but doesn’t affect final quality. Fall is often ideal because temperatures are moderate and there’s less chance of rain delays. Winter paving is possible for emergency repairs but not recommended for major projects. We schedule most residential work from April through October.
You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, but it takes 30-60 days to fully cure. During the first few days, avoid sharp turns, heavy loads, and parking in the same spot repeatedly. The asphalt will be softer in hot weather, so be extra careful during summer installation. We recommend keeping heavy trucks and equipment off new pavement for at least a week. Foot traffic is fine immediately after installation. Full curing depends on weather conditions, but the pavement gets stronger over the first few months as it oxidizes and hardens.
