You get a driveway that doesn’t crack after the first winter. No more drainage nightmares turning your entrance into a muddy mess every time it rains.
We start by understanding what makes your property tick—the slope, the soil, how water moves across your land. Then we build a solution that works with these realities instead of fighting them.
The result? A surface that enhances your home’s value while handling everything New Jersey weather dishes out. One less headache for the next 25-30 years.
We combine 75+ years of family paving knowledge with a simple approach: your project gets our full attention. Owner Mark Harrison personally designs each driveway because cookie-cutter solutions don’t work in Frenchtown’s rolling terrain.
We’ve been earning trust in Hunterdon County since 2000, one satisfied neighbor at a time. Our method is straightforward—focus on one job, communicate clearly, deliver what we promise.
Frenchtown’s historic charm deserves driveways that enhance rather than detract. That’s exactly what you get when experience meets genuine care for your property.
Mark visits your property first. He’ll study drainage patterns, test soil conditions, and observe how you actually use your driveway. Real assessment, not guesswork.
Next comes your custom design addressing your property’s specific challenges. Proper grading for water management. Layout optimization for your vehicles and daily routines.
Installation day means our crew removes old materials, builds a solid foundation, and applies quality asphalt using time-tested techniques. We handle permits, cleanup, everything. You stay informed without getting overwhelmed.
Final walkthrough covers the completed work plus maintenance guidance to protect your investment for decades.
Ready to get started?
Your driveway paving includes complete site preparation, strategic grading for optimal drainage, and quality asphalt installation designed to survive Frenchtown’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles.
We excavate old materials, prepare the base with appropriate stone, and apply asphalt with precision. Each project includes custom layout design maximizing both function and curb appeal for your specific situation.
Frenchtown’s rolling landscape and seasonal weather extremes demand special attention to foundation work and water management. Our local experience means anticipating these challenges and building solutions that last. Decorative options like brick edging complement the area’s historic character without breaking your budget.
Every project comes with clear communication, on-schedule completion, and thorough cleanup. Plus special discounts for seniors, military, and first-time customers.
Most residential driveways take 1-3 days depending on size and complexity. Day one handles excavation and prep work. Day two focuses on base installation and proper grading. Day three covers asphalt application and finishing.
New Jersey weather affects timing, especially during wet seasons. We give you realistic timelines upfront and update you if conditions require adjustments.
Proper preparation matters more than speed. We’d rather spend an extra day getting the foundation right than have you deal with settling or drainage headaches later.
Asphalt flexes with New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles instead of cracking like concrete does. This flexibility is crucial during harsh winters when temperatures swing dramatically.
Cost-wise, asphalt typically runs $7-15 per square foot versus concrete’s higher price point. Maintenance is simpler too—small asphalt cracks seal easily while concrete repairs often require replacing entire sections.
For Frenchtown’s climate and terrain, asphalt delivers the best combination of durability, affordability, and weather resistance. Plus you can use it in 24-48 hours instead of waiting a week for concrete to cure.
Drainage planning starts before we break ground. We analyze water flow patterns around your property, identifying where water naturally wants to go during heavy rains.
Our grading creates subtle slopes directing water away from your foundation toward appropriate drainage areas. We use base materials that allow water to percolate instead of pooling on the surface.
Properties with challenging drainage get specialized solutions—French drains, catch basins, custom grading techniques. The goal is making your new driveway improve rather than complicate your property’s water management.
One job at a time means your project gets our complete attention from start to finish. While other contractors juggle multiple crews across different jobs, our approach ensures consistent quality and direct oversight.
Mark personally designs each driveway based on your property’s unique characteristics. No cookie-cutter solutions—we create custom approaches for your specific needs and challenges.
Communication stays clear throughout the process. You know exactly what’s happening when, and we explain any decisions or changes along the way. No surprises, no excuses—just straightforward service from people with decades of experience.
Properly installed asphalt driveways in New Jersey typically last 25-30 years with basic maintenance. Key factors include quality installation, proper drainage, and periodic sealcoating every 3-5 years.
Our installation focuses on creating solid foundations that handle seasonal temperature swings and moisture changes. We use appropriate base materials and proper compaction techniques that prevent settling and premature cracking.
Maintenance stays straightforward—keep it clean, seal small cracks promptly, apply sealcoat as needed. With this simple care routine, your investment serves you well for decades while maintaining appearance and functionality.
We guarantee our workmanship with comprehensive coverage for installation defects and material failures. Specific terms depend on your project scope, but we typically cover settling, premature cracking, and drainage problems related to our installation.
We’re available for follow-up service if you notice any issues. After 20+ years serving Hunterdon County, our reputation depends on satisfied customers, so problems get resolved quickly.
Beyond formal warranties, we provide ongoing maintenance guidance protecting your investment. Small preventive measures add years to your driveway’s life, and we share what we’ve learned from decades in the business.
