Driveway and Parking Lot Process

How We Handle Your Paving Project

First, we assess your property and discuss exactly what you need. No high-pressure sales tactics or inflated estimates – just a clear explanation of the work and honest pricing.

Next, we prepare the area properly. This means excavating to the right depth, ensuring proper drainage, and creating a solid foundation. Shortcuts here are why other paving jobs fail early, so we don’t take them.

Then we install your asphalt using professional equipment and quality materials. We pay attention to proper compaction, smooth finishing, and clean edges. When we’re done, you’ll have professional-grade paving that looks right and performs well for years.

A properly installed asphalt driveway should last 15-20 years with basic maintenance like occasional sealcoating. The key is proper installation – correct depth, good drainage, and quality compaction. Cheap installations that skip these steps might only last 5-7 years before major problems develop. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles are particularly hard on poor quality work, which is why proper installation matters so much here.
Asphalt and blacktop are essentially the same material – a mixture of aggregate stones and bitumen. The terms are often used interchangeably, though “blacktop” sometimes refers to the finer grade mix used for driveways while “asphalt” refers to the coarser mix used for roads and parking lots. What matters more than the terminology is getting the right mix for your specific project and having it installed properly with good compaction and drainage.
Driveway paving costs vary based on size, site conditions, and preparation work needed. A typical residential driveway runs $3-7 per square foot, but factors like excavation depth, drainage requirements, and access can affect pricing. We provide clear estimates after seeing your specific situation. Beware of contractors who quote prices over the phone without seeing the job – proper paving requires proper preparation, and that varies by location.
Spring through fall are ideal for asphalt paving in New Jersey, typically April through October. Asphalt needs warm temperatures for proper installation and curing. We can work in cooler weather if needed, but hot weather allows the asphalt to compact better and cure properly. Winter paving is possible but not ideal. If you’re planning a project, spring scheduling often offers the best weather conditions and more flexible timing.
Most driveway replacements don’t require permits in Somerville if you’re staying within existing boundaries. However, new driveways, changes to drainage, or work affecting public areas might need permits. We’re familiar with local requirements and can guide you through the process. It’s always better to check with the township beforehand rather than deal with issues later. We can help determine what’s needed for your specific project.
Keep your driveway clean and address small cracks quickly before they become big problems. Sealcoating every 2-3 years helps protect against weather and extends life significantly. Avoid parking heavy vehicles in the same spot repeatedly, and be careful with sharp objects that can gouge the surface. In winter, use sand instead of rock salt when possible. Good maintenance is simple but makes a huge difference in how long your driveway looks and performs well.
