Your cracked, pothole-riddled driveway becomes a smooth, professional surface that actually makes you proud to pull into your own driveway. No more apologizing to guests or worrying about scraping your car’s undercarriage.
You get an asphalt driveway that’s engineered for Glen Gardner’s challenging climate—built to flex with freeze-thaw cycles instead of cracking like concrete. We’re talking about 20+ years of reliable performance with basic maintenance.
Most importantly, you get the peace of mind that comes with proper installation. No shortcuts, no corner-cutting, no “we’ll fix it later” promises that never materialize.
Since 1948, three generations of the Harrison family have been paving driveways in Glen Gardner and throughout Hunterdon County. That’s not just experience—that’s institutional knowledge of what actually works in New Jersey’s climate.
Mark Harrison personally walks every job site and oversees every project. No subcontractors, no disappearing acts, no wondering if the crew knows what they’re doing. When you hire us, you get Mark’s personal attention from estimate to completion.
Over 25,000 satisfied customers have trusted us with their driveways, parking lots, and private roads. Glen Gardner homeowners choose us because we treat every project like it’s our own family’s driveway.
First, Mark personally evaluates your current driveway and discusses exactly what you need. No high-pressure sales tactics or inflated estimates—just honest assessment of what will solve your specific situation.
The preparation phase is where we separate ourselves from the competition. Complete removal of failed material, proper grading for Glen Gardner’s terrain, and base preparation that can handle decades of New Jersey weather extremes.
Installation day means our full crew stays focused on your project until completion. No juggling multiple jobs or leaving you with half-finished work. We pour quality asphalt, ensure proper compaction, and clean up completely before we leave.
Ready to get started?
Every project we complete includes full excavation, proper base preparation, quality asphalt installation, and thorough cleanup. We handle permits, coordinate material delivery, and ensure your property looks better than when we arrived.
Glen Gardner’s rolling topography requires careful attention to drainage and grading. We factor in your property’s natural water flow patterns to prevent future problems that could undermine your investment.
You also get transparent communication throughout the entire process. Detailed written estimates, regular progress updates, and Mark’s personal phone number for any questions. No surprises, no hidden costs, no wondering what’s happening with your project.
Most Glen Gardner homeowners invest between $5,500 and $12,000 for complete asphalt driveway replacement, depending on size and current conditions. Factors affecting cost include removal requirements, drainage needs, and any necessary grading work.
Every estimate we provide is detailed and written, breaking down exactly what you’re paying for. Mark personally reviews each estimate to ensure fair pricing that covers everything your project needs without surprises later.
Remember that proper installation costs more upfront but saves significant money long-term. A professionally installed driveway lasts 20+ years with basic maintenance, while cheap work often requires major repairs within just a few years.
Most residential driveways in Glen Gardner take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. Day one typically involves old material removal and base preparation. Day two is when we install your new asphalt surface.
Weather affects timing since we cannot install asphalt during freezing temperatures or heavy rain. We communicate any weather-related delays immediately and reschedule to ensure quality results rather than rushing through poor conditions.
Unlike contractors who stretch jobs across weeks, our crew stays dedicated to your project until completion. No jumping between multiple sites means faster completion and better attention to detail throughout your installation.
Asphalt significantly outperforms concrete in New Jersey’s freeze-thaw climate. While concrete cracks and heaves during winter months, properly installed asphalt flexes with temperature changes and maintains structural integrity.
Asphalt is also more cost-effective initially and much easier to repair when needed. Small cracks can be sealed seamlessly and invisibly, while concrete repairs are often visible patches that detract from appearance.
For Glen Gardner specifically, asphalt’s dark surface melts snow and ice faster than concrete, creating safer winter conditions. It also provides better traction in wet weather and is gentler on vehicle tires.
Glen Gardner typically requires permits for driveway work, especially when expanding existing footprints or connecting to township roads. Requirements vary by project scope and property location within the municipality.
We handle all permit applications as part of our standard service. Our established relationships with Glen Gardner officials and knowledge of local requirements streamline the approval process significantly.
Attempting to skip permits creates serious problems during home sales or insurance claims. We ensure everything meets code and is properly documented from project start to finish.
You can typically drive on new asphalt after 24-48 hours, depending on weather conditions and installation thickness. We provide specific timing recommendations based on your particular project and current temperatures.
The complete curing process takes approximately 30 days. During this period, avoid parking heavy vehicles in identical spots repeatedly and minimize sharp turns that might scuff the surface.
We provide comprehensive care instructions upon project completion, including safe usage guidelines and what to monitor during curing. Following these recommendations ensures your driveway reaches maximum durability potential.
The most critical maintenance is sealcoating every 2-3 years to protect against water infiltration, UV damage, and chemical spills. This simple preventive measure can double your driveway’s lifespan while maintaining appearance.
Address small cracks immediately before they expand into major problems. Glen Gardner’s seasonal temperature fluctuations can transform minor cracks into expensive repairs if ignored.
Regular cleaning also helps—remove debris that traps moisture and clean oil stains promptly to prevent permanent damage. We provide specific maintenance schedules based on your driveway’s exposure and usage patterns.
