Surfaces Built to Handle Reality

Your driveway or parking lot takes a beating. New Jersey winters freeze and crack cheap asphalt. Spring rains wash away poorly graded surfaces. Summer heat warps substandard materials.

You need paving that handles what this climate throws at it. That means proper base preparation, quality materials, and installation that accounts for drainage and weather patterns specific to Upper Longwood.

When the job’s done right, you get smooth surfaces that shed water properly, resist cracking through freeze-thaw cycles, and maintain their appearance for years. No more dodging potholes in your own driveway or worrying about customers tripping in your parking lot.

Most residential driveways take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and site conditions. Day one involves excavation and base preparation. Day two covers asphalt installation. We need 24-48 hours between major steps for proper curing. Weather can extend timelines, but we’ll keep you informed of any delays. Commercial projects vary significantly based on size and complexity, but we provide realistic timelines upfront and stick to them.
Quality paving starts with proper base preparation and drainage. Cheap contractors skip excavation depth, use inferior base materials, or ignore drainage issues. This leads to cracking, settling, and water damage within months. Quality work costs more upfront but uses proper materials, adequate base depth, and professional installation techniques. The result is pavement that lasts 15-20 years instead of needing repairs every few years. You save money long-term and avoid the hassle of constant maintenance.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt paving in New Jersey. We need temperatures consistently above 50 degrees for proper installation and curing. Summer provides ideal conditions, but spring and fall work well too. Winter paving is possible but requires special considerations and may cost more. We recommend scheduling major projects for late spring or early summer to ensure optimal results and avoid weather delays.
Surface cracks and minor potholes can often be repaired if the base is still solid. However, widespread cracking, significant settling, or drainage problems usually indicate base failure requiring complete replacement. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes repairs buy you a few more years, but other times they’re throwing money away. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what makes financial sense for your property.
Residential driveways typically range from $3-7 per square foot depending on site conditions, access, and material specifications.
