Smooth Surfaces That Handle New Jersey Weather

Your driveway or parking lot takes a beating from New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rains, and daily traffic. When it’s done right, asphalt paving gives you a smooth, durable surface that handles whatever weather throws at it.

You get proper drainage that prevents water from pooling and creating ice hazards in winter. The right base preparation means your pavement won’t crack or settle after the first heavy rain. Quality materials and professional installation protect your investment for 15-20 years instead of needing repairs every few seasons.

No more navigating around potholes or worrying about customers tripping on uneven surfaces. Just clean, professional-looking pavement that adds value to your property and gives you one less thing to worry about.

Our Paving Installation Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

We start with a site evaluation to assess your current pavement condition, drainage needs, and any underlying issues that could affect the new installation. You’ll get a detailed estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline so there are no surprises.

Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This is where many contractors cut corners, but it’s the most critical step. We remove old pavement, grade the surface for proper drainage, and install a compacted stone base that provides long-term stability.

The asphalt installation uses professional-grade materials applied at the correct temperature and thickness for your specific application. We compact everything properly and finish with clean edges and smooth transitions. Most residential driveways are ready for light traffic within 24-48 hours, with full curing complete in about a week.

How long does a new asphalt driveway last in New Jersey?

A properly installed asphalt driveway in New Jersey typically lasts 15-20 years with regular maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, quality materials, and correct installation techniques. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on pavement, so proper drainage and thickness are critical. Driveways that fail early usually have base problems or were installed too thin. With sealcoating every 3-4 years and prompt crack repair, you can expect decades of reliable service from quality asphalt paving.

What's the difference between cheap and professional paving contractors?

Professional contractors focus on base preparation, proper materials, and correct installation techniques. Cheap contractors often skip excavation, use thin asphalt layers, or don’t compact properly. The result is pavement that cracks, settles, or fails within a few years. Professional contractors are licensed and insured, provide written warranties, and use commercial-grade equipment. They also give detailed estimates upfront instead of adding surprise costs later. The price difference is usually 20-30%, but the quality difference means your pavement lasts three times longer.

How much does driveway paving cost in New Dover?

Driveway paving costs in New Dover typically range from $3-7 per square foot depending on the project specifics. Factors include current condition, excavation needs, drainage requirements, and driveway size. A standard two-car driveway (600 square feet) usually runs $2,500-4,500 including proper base work. Larger or more complex projects with significant drainage work cost more. We provide free estimates with detailed breakdowns so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Financing options are available for larger projects.

Can you pave over existing asphalt or concrete?

Sometimes, but it depends on the condition of the existing surface. If the current pavement is structurally sound with only surface wear, an asphalt overlay can work well and costs less than full replacement. However, if there are drainage issues, significant cracks, or settling problems, overlay just covers the problem temporarily. We evaluate each situation individually and recommend the most cost-effective long-term solution. Complete removal and replacement is often worth the extra cost because it addresses underlying issues and gives you a fresh 20-year lifespan.

What maintenance does new asphalt paving need?

New asphalt needs minimal maintenance for the first few years. Avoid heavy loads and sharp turns for the first week while it fully cures. After 6-12 months, apply a quality sealcoat to protect against water penetration and UV damage. Repeat sealcoating every 3-4 years. Address small cracks immediately before they expand and let water underneath. Keep the surface clean and remove oil stains promptly. Snow removal should use plastic shovels or rubber-edged plows to avoid scraping. With this simple maintenance routine, your asphalt will look good and last its full lifespan.

Do you handle commercial parking lot paving projects?

Yes, we handle commercial parking lots, loading areas, and access roads throughout New Dover. Commercial projects require different planning than residential work – we coordinate with business operations to minimize disruption, often working evenings or weekends. We handle all aspects including proper drainage, ADA compliance, line striping, and handicap space marking. Our commercial clients include retail centers, office buildings, warehouses, and industrial facilities. We provide detailed project timelines and can phase work to keep portions of your parking available during construction.
