Your new driveway won’t just look better—it’ll handle Ewing’s weather cycles without cracking, provide proper drainage to protect your foundation, and boost your property value. You’ll have a smooth, durable surface that lasts for decades, not just a few years.
When the job’s finished, you’ll know exactly what you paid for and why. No surprises, no corners cut, no callbacks needed. Just a driveway that works the way it should from day one.
The difference shows up in winter when water drains properly instead of pooling and freezing. It shows up in summer when the surface stays level and smooth. Most importantly, it shows up in your peace of mind knowing the work was done by people who’ve been perfecting this craft since 1948.
We’ve been handling paving installation in Ewing since 1948. That’s not marketing speak—it’s four generations of learning what works in New Jersey’s climate and what doesn’t.
We treat every project like it’s the most important one, whether you’re paving a single-car driveway or managing commercial paving for local businesses. One job at a time, full attention, no rushing to the next site. This approach has earned us five-star reviews and recognition throughout the region.
What sets us apart in Ewing is understanding that every property has unique challenges. Drainage issues from the area’s rolling terrain, soil conditions, traffic patterns—we’ve seen it all and know how to address each situation properly the first time.
First, we assess your property’s specific needs—drainage patterns, soil conditions, and how you use your driveway. This isn’t a cookie-cutter estimate; it’s a custom evaluation of what your property actually requires.
Next comes proper preparation. We excavate to the right depth, address any drainage issues common to Ewing’s terrain, and create a solid foundation using the correct base materials. This step determines whether your driveway lasts 5 years or 25 years.
The paving installation uses quality asphalt mix applied at the right temperature and thickness for your specific situation. We compact it properly and ensure smooth transitions to existing surfaces. Finally, we clean up completely and walk you through proper maintenance to maximize your investment.
You’ll know what’s happening at each stage and why. No mysterious delays or surprise changes—just clear communication from start to finish.

Every driveway paving project includes proper excavation, base preparation, drainage solutions where needed, and professional-grade asphalt installation. You also get transparent pricing upfront, regular project updates, and complete cleanup when finished.
Ewing properties often require special attention to drainage due to the area’s terrain and seasonal weather patterns. The township’s rolling landscape and proximity to the Delaware River create unique water management challenges that inexperienced paving contractors often overlook.
Our service extends beyond just laying asphalt. We handle permits if needed, coordinate with utility companies when necessary, and ensure your new driveway integrates properly with existing landscaping and structures. Senior, military, and first-time customers receive special pricing considerations because quality paving installation should be accessible to those who’ve served our community.
Most residential driveway projects in Ewing take 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation. Day two focuses on asphalt installation and compaction.
Weather can affect timing—we won’t pour asphalt in rain or when temperatures are too low, as this compromises quality. We’d rather reschedule than deliver subpar work. Complex projects requiring extensive drainage work or utility coordination may take longer, but you’ll know the timeline upfront.
The key is we don’t rush. Taking extra time for proper preparation and curing ensures your driveway performs well for decades rather than needing repairs in a few years.
Quality paving starts with proper excavation depth and base materials. Cheap jobs often skip adequate base preparation or use inferior materials that shift and crack within a few years. Quality paving contractors excavate deeper, use proper stone base, and ensure adequate drainage.
The asphalt itself matters too. Quality mix contains the right blend of aggregates and binder for local climate conditions. Cheap alternatives use recycled materials or incorrect mix ratios that break down quickly under New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Installation technique separates good from bad. Proper compaction, correct temperature application, and attention to edges and transitions create a driveway that lasts. Rushed installation creates weak spots that become expensive problems later.
Driveway paving costs in Ewing typically range from $3-7 per square foot depending on project complexity, access, and specific requirements. A standard 12×60 foot driveway usually costs $2,200-$5,000 including proper preparation.
Factors affecting price include current driveway condition, drainage needs, excavation depth required, and site accessibility. Properties requiring extensive drainage work or difficult access cost more due to additional labor and materials needed.
We provide transparent pricing upfront with no hidden fees. We explain exactly what drives your project cost and offer senior, military, and first-time customer discounts. The goal is fair pricing for quality work, not the cheapest bid that compromises results.
Most driveway replacement projects in Ewing don’t require permits if you’re staying within existing boundaries and not changing drainage patterns. However, new driveways, significant expansions, or changes affecting stormwater management may need township approval.
Ewing Township requires permits for driveways that alter curb cuts, affect municipal drainage systems, or exceed certain size thresholds. Projects near wetlands or in historic districts have additional requirements that must be addressed before starting work.
We handle permit research and applications when needed. We know Ewing’s requirements and work with township officials regularly. This eliminates surprises and ensures your project complies with all local regulations from the start.
Late spring through early fall provides optimal conditions for driveway paving in New Jersey. Temperatures between 50-85°F allow proper asphalt curing and compaction. Avoiding extreme heat prevents premature hardening, while avoiding cold prevents poor adhesion.
Summer offers the longest working days and most predictable weather, but scheduling fills up quickly. Spring and fall often provide better availability with excellent paving conditions. Winter paving is possible during mild stretches but not recommended for optimal results.
We schedule projects based on weather forecasts, not just calendar dates. We’ll delay if conditions aren’t right because proper curing is essential for long-term performance. This approach ensures your investment delivers maximum value regardless of when the work gets completed.
New asphalt driveways need 6-12 months to fully cure before sealcoating. During this period, avoid heavy vehicles and sharp turns that can damage the surface. Keep the driveway clean and address oil stains promptly to prevent permanent damage.
Sealcoating every 2-3 years protects against water penetration, UV damage, and chemical spills. This maintenance step significantly extends driveway life and maintains appearance. Crack sealing should be done immediately when small cracks appear to prevent water infiltration and expansion.
We provide detailed maintenance guidelines specific to your installation and local conditions. We can also handle future sealcoating and repairs, ensuring consistency in materials and methods. Proper maintenance makes your driveway investment last decades rather than requiring premature replacement.
