Driveway Paving
What driveway paving involves
Driveway paving is building a new asphalt driveway for your home. That can mean replacing a worn out drive, turning gravel into blacktop, or paving a brand new drive.
Home driveways are most of what we do. A good one starts under the surface. We check your soil, slope and drainage, set base depth and asphalt thickness to fit your home and vehicles, and write it all on your quote.
How it works
3 simple steps
- Step 1
Request your free quote
Call or send the form. We come out, measure your drive, check the base and drainage, and give you a free written quote.
- Step 2
We tear out, grade and pave
We remove the old drive, fix soft areas, grade for drainage, compact the stone base and pave with hot asphalt rolled tight.
- Step 3
A driveway you are glad to come home to
You get a dark, even drive with clean edges, backed by our 3 year workmanship and materials guarantee.
Problems it fixes
Driveway problems we fix
Cracked and crumbling
Years of freeze and thaw, plows and salt break an old drive apart. Patches stop helping.
Puddles by the garage
Water that pools near your garage or steps freezes into ice and can seep toward your foundation.
Ruts where you park
A thin base sinks under cars and trucks. The sandy soil of the Pine Barrens and heavy clay both need a base built for them.
Tree roots pushing up
Roots lift and crack asphalt. We look at nearby trees before we pave and talk through your options.

FAQ
Driveway Paving questions
Still have questions? Call (908) 720-2444. We pick up.
How much does a new driveway cost?+
It depends on the size of your drive, the condition of the base and how easy it is to get equipment in. Your quote is free and written, so you know the full number up front.
How long does it take?+
Many home driveways take a day or two of work, depending on size and how much base work is needed. We give you a time frame with your quote.
When can I park on it?+
Plan to park on the street for a few days while the asphalt sets, longer in hot weather. We will tell you when it is safe.
Is asphalt or concrete better for a driveway in New Jersey?+
Both can work. Asphalt handles freeze and thaw and road salt well and is easy to repair. Concrete costs more up front, but some people prefer the look. We do both, so you get a fair answer.
