Asphalt Paving Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we evaluate your existing surface and drainage situation. Every property is different, and we need to understand what we’re working with before we can give you an accurate estimate.

Next, we prepare the base properly. This is where most problems start – with poor preparation. We excavate to the right depth, ensure proper grading for drainage, and compact everything correctly.

Then we install the asphalt using professional equipment and quality materials. The thickness depends on your specific needs – residential driveways need different specs than commercial parking lots. Finally, we clean up completely and let you know exactly when you can start using your new pavement.

Driveway and Parking Lot Paving

What Your Project Includes

Every paving project includes proper site preparation, quality asphalt materials, and professional installation. We handle both residential driveway paving and commercial parking lot projects throughout Schooleys Mountain and surrounding areas.

For driveways, we focus on proper drainage and smooth transitions to existing surfaces. Commercial projects get heavier base preparation and thicker asphalt designed for constant traffic and heavy vehicles.

All work comes with proper compaction, clean edges, and thorough cleanup. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your daily routine, and we’ll walk you through maintenance tips to keep your new pavement looking good for years.

How long does asphalt paving take to complete?

Most residential driveways take 1-2 days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Commercial parking lots vary based on square footage and site conditions. Weather plays a role too – we won’t install asphalt in rain or extreme temperatures because it affects quality. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. You can typically drive on new asphalt within 24-48 hours, but we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy vehicles or making sharp turns.

What's the difference between asphalt and blacktop paving?

Asphalt and blacktop are essentially the same material – a mixture of aggregate and bitumen. The terms are often used interchangeably, though “blacktop” usually refers to the final surface layer. What matters more is the quality of materials and installation process. We use hot mix asphalt that’s designed for New Jersey’s climate conditions. The key is proper base preparation, correct thickness for your specific use, and professional installation with the right equipment.

How much does driveway paving cost in Schooleys Mountain?

Driveway paving costs depend on size, site conditions, and thickness requirements. Most residential driveways in Schooleys Mountain range from $3-7 per square foot, but every situation is different. Factors that affect price include excavation needs, drainage requirements, and accessibility for our equipment. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs – no hidden fees or surprise charges. The investment pays off through years of maintenance-free use and increased property value.

When is the best time to install new asphalt paving?

Spring through fall offers the best conditions for asphalt paving in New Jersey. We need temperatures above 50 degrees and dry conditions for optimal results. Summer and early fall are ideal because the asphalt cures better in warm weather. Winter paving is possible but more challenging due to temperature requirements. We recommend scheduling your project early in the season to ensure availability. Emergency repairs can be handled year-round, but new installations work best when weather cooperates.

Do I need permits for driveway paving in Schooleys Mountain?

Most driveway paving projects don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries. However, if you’re expanding your driveway, changing drainage patterns, or connecting to township roads, permits may be needed. We’re familiar with local requirements and can help determine what’s necessary for your specific project. When permits are required, we’ll guide you through the process and ensure all work meets township standards. It’s always better to check beforehand than deal with issues later.

How do I maintain my new asphalt driveway?

New asphalt needs minimal maintenance but a few simple steps extend its life significantly. Keep it clean of debris and standing water. Seal coating every 2-3 years protects against weather and extends pavement life. Address small cracks quickly before they become bigger problems. Avoid parking in the same spots constantly, and be careful with sharp turns, especially when the asphalt is hot. We’ll provide specific maintenance guidelines when your project is complete, including recommended local suppliers for seal coating materials.
