What Quality Paving Really Means

You get a smooth, properly graded surface that drains water away from your property instead of letting it pool and cause damage. No more dealing with cracks that turn into potholes every winter, or having to patch the same spots over and over.

Your driveway or parking lot becomes an asset that adds value to your property rather than a constant source of frustration and expense. The right materials and installation techniques mean you’re looking at years of reliable service instead of emergency repairs.

When the job is done correctly from the start, you save money long-term and avoid the headache of dealing with contractors who cut corners or disappear when problems arise.

Professional Paving Process

How We Handle Your Project

First, we evaluate your existing surface and drainage situation to identify any underlying issues that need addressing. Proper preparation is what separates work that lasts from work that fails in two years.

Next, we prepare the base using the right materials and compaction techniques for your specific soil conditions and traffic requirements. This foundation work determines how well your new asphalt will perform long-term.

Finally, we install the asphalt using commercial-grade equipment and materials, ensuring proper thickness, grading, and finishing. You get a surface that’s built to handle whatever New Jersey weather throws at it.

We handle both residential driveway projects and commercial parking lot installations using the same attention to detail and quality materials. Whether you need a new driveway or a complete parking lot renovation, the process and standards remain consistent.

Prospect Plains properties face unique challenges with clay soil and seasonal weather extremes. Our local experience means we know how to build asphalt surfaces that perform well in these specific conditions rather than using generic approaches that fail quickly.

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and site conditions. Day one involves site preparation, base work, and addressing any drainage issues. Day two typically covers asphalt installation and finishing work. Weather conditions can affect timing since we won’t install asphalt in rain or extreme temperatures. Commercial projects take longer based on square footage and complexity, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and stick to it.
Quality paving starts with proper site preparation and base materials that can handle your specific soil conditions and traffic loads. Cheap contractors skip these steps or use inferior materials to cut costs. We use the right thickness of asphalt for your application – residential driveways need different specifications than commercial parking lots. Quality work also includes proper grading for drainage and using hot-mix asphalt from reputable suppliers. The result is pavement that lasts 15-20 years instead of needing repairs in 2-3 years.
Yes, drainage is a critical part of any paving project. Water that pools on asphalt or flows toward your foundation causes expensive damage over time. We evaluate your property’s drainage patterns and grade the new pavement to direct water away from structures and toward appropriate drainage areas. This might involve adjusting the slope, installing catch basins, or addressing issues with the surrounding landscape. Proper drainage extends the life of your pavement and protects your property investment.
You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions and asphalt thickness. Hot weather requires longer curing time, while cooler temperatures allow earlier use. We’ll give you specific guidance based on your project and current conditions. Avoid parking in the same spots repeatedly for the first week, and be careful with sharp turns or heavy loads for the first month. The asphalt continues to cure and harden over several months, reaching full strength after about six months.
Properly installed asphalt requires minimal maintenance for the first several years. Keep the surface clean of debris and address any oil stains promptly. Sealcoating every 3-4 years helps protect against weather damage and extends pavement life, but it’s not immediately necessary on new asphalt. Watch for any settling or minor cracks and address them quickly before they become major problems. Good drainage maintenance is also important – keep gutters and drainage areas clear so water flows away from the pavement as designed.
We price projects based on square footage, site conditions, material requirements, and complexity of preparation work needed. Factors that affect cost include existing pavement removal, base repair or replacement, drainage work, and accessibility for our equipment. We provide written estimates that break down these components so you understand what you’re paying for. Thicker asphalt for heavy traffic areas costs more but lasts longer. We’ll explain the options and help you choose the right specifications for your budget and performance requirements.
