Our Paving Process

Here's How We Handle Your Project

First, we come out and assess your property. We look at drainage, existing conditions, and what you actually need. You get a detailed written estimate with no surprises.

Once you approve, we handle permits and scheduling. We prep the area properly – removing old asphalt, grading for proper drainage, and compacting the base. This foundation work is where most contractors cut corners.

Then we install your new asphalt using professional-grade materials and equipment. We ensure proper thickness, smooth finish, and clean edges. You’re left with pavement that looks professional and performs for years.

Residential and Commercial Paving

What's Included in Professional Paving

You get proper site preparation, quality materials, and installation that meets industry standards. We handle everything from small residential driveways to large commercial parking lots.

Every job includes proper base preparation, appropriate asphalt thickness for your traffic load, and attention to drainage. We use hot-mix asphalt and professional equipment – not the patch-and-pray approach some contractors use.

Morris Plains properties have specific challenges with drainage and freeze-thaw cycles. We design your pavement to handle these conditions instead of hoping for the best.

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days depending on size and complexity. Day one is demolition and prep work – removing old pavement, grading, and base preparation. Day two is asphalt installation and finishing. Commercial projects vary based on size but we provide realistic timelines upfront. Weather can affect scheduling since we won’t install asphalt in rain or extreme temperatures. You can walk on new asphalt immediately but should wait 24-48 hours before driving on it.
Asphalt costs less upfront and handles freeze-thaw cycles better than concrete in New Jersey. It’s also easier to repair if damage occurs. Concrete lasts longer but cracks more easily in our climate and costs significantly more to install and repair. For Morris Plains properties, asphalt typically makes more sense unless you have specific aesthetic requirements. Asphalt can be sealed and maintained to extend its life, while concrete repairs are more visible and expensive.
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 but every property is different. Factors affecting cost include drainage issues, existing pavement removal, base preparation needs, and accessibility. We provide detailed written estimates after seeing your property. Beware of contractors giving phone quotes – proper pricing requires seeing the actual conditions.
Late spring through early fall is ideal for asphalt work in New Jersey. We need temperatures above 50 degrees and dry conditions for proper installation. Summer and early fall are busiest, so spring scheduling often works better for timing. Winter work is possible during warm spells but weather can cause delays. We recommend planning ahead and booking during off-peak times when possible. Emergency repairs can be done year-round but full replacement should wait for proper weather conditions.
Most driveway replacement doesn’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries. However, expanding your driveway, changing drainage patterns, or affecting township property may require permits. We handle permit research and applications when needed. Morris Plains has specific requirements for drainage and setbacks that we’re familiar with. It’s better to check upfront than deal with township issues later. We know local regulations and will advise you on any permit requirements during our initial assessment.
Properly installed asphalt driveways last 15-20 years in New Jersey with basic maintenance. Key factors are proper base preparation, appropriate thickness, and regular sealcoating every 3-5 years. Cheap installations fail much sooner because contractors skip crucial prep work. Our installations are designed for longevity, not just passing the first winter. Regular maintenance like crack sealing and sealcoating extends life significantly. Commercial parking lots have different lifespans based on traffic loads but proper installation and maintenance principles apply.
