Your parking lot becomes an asset, not a liability. Customers notice the smooth, professional surface when they pull in. No more apologizing for potholes or worrying about someone tripping on cracked asphalt.
You get proper drainage that prevents water from pooling and damaging your foundation. The surface holds up to New Jersey winters and heavy traffic because it’s built right the first time.
Most importantly, you avoid the expensive repairs that come with cheap installations. Quality paving installation means fewer headaches and lower long-term costs.
We’ve been serving Glen Gardner and Hunterdon County since 1948. That’s not just experience—that’s proof that we do things right.
We focus on one job at a time, treating every project with the same attention whether you’re a small business or major commercial property. Our owner supervises every project personally because quality matters more than quantity.
Glen Gardner businesses choose us because we show up when promised, communicate clearly throughout the project, and stand behind our work with real guarantees.
First, we assess your property’s specific needs and drainage requirements. Every parking lot is different, and cookie-cutter approaches lead to problems later.
Next comes proper preparation—removing old material, grading the subbase, and ensuring proper drainage. This foundation work determines how long your parking lot will last.
Finally, we install the asphalt using commercial-grade materials and professional equipment. The surface is compacted properly and finished to exact specifications. You get clear updates throughout the process and a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets your expectations.

Your parking lot paving includes proper subbase preparation, professional-grade asphalt installation, and precise grading for optimal drainage. Line striping and ADA-compliant accessibility features are handled as part of the complete installation.
Glen Gardner’s climate demands specific attention to freeze-thaw cycles and water management. Our installation process accounts for local soil conditions and drainage patterns that affect long-term durability.
You also get transparent communication throughout the project, with clear timelines and regular updates. No hidden costs or surprise changes—just professional paving contractor service that treats your business with respect.
Most commercial parking lot projects in Glen Gardner take 2-5 days, depending on size and complexity. Weather plays a role—asphalt needs dry conditions and temperatures above 50°F for proper installation.
The timeline includes one day for preparation and subbase work, 1-2 days for asphalt installation, and additional time for line striping once the surface cures. Larger lots or those requiring significant drainage work may take longer.
You’ll get a clear timeline upfront with realistic expectations. No rushing through the job to meet unrealistic deadlines—proper curing and installation take the time they take.
Quality paving starts with proper subbase preparation and drainage design. Cheap contractors skip these steps, leading to cracks and potholes within a few years. Quality work addresses the foundation that supports your asphalt.
The asphalt itself matters too. Professional installations use commercial-grade materials mixed and applied at proper temperatures. Cheap jobs often use inferior materials or apply them incorrectly.
Most importantly, quality contractors stand behind their work with real warranties and insurance coverage. Cheap contractors often disappear when problems arise, leaving you to pay for repairs or complete replacement.
Widespread alligator cracking indicates subbase failure and usually requires complete replacement. This looks like interconnected cracks forming small, irregular shapes across large areas of your lot.
Multiple potholes, significant settling, or drainage problems that cause standing water also point to replacement rather than repair. These issues stem from foundation problems that patching can’t fix.
Age matters too. If your parking lot is over 20 years old with multiple repair areas, replacement often costs less long-term than continued patching. A professional assessment can determine whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense.
Expect some disruption to normal business operations, but we minimize this impact. You’ll receive advance notice of when areas will be inaccessible and alternative parking arrangements if needed.
The process starts with removing old asphalt and preparing the subbase. This involves heavy equipment and noise during business hours. We work around your schedule when possible.
After installation, the asphalt needs 24-48 hours before heavy traffic. You can typically walk on it within a few hours, but vehicles should wait for proper curing to avoid damage.
Commercial parking lot paving typically costs $3-7 per square foot in the Glen Gardner area, depending on site conditions, thickness requirements, and drainage needs. Larger lots generally cost less per square foot due to economies of scale.
Additional factors affecting cost include subbase preparation, drainage improvements, and accessibility features. Lots requiring significant excavation or utility work cost more than straightforward overlay projects.
We provide detailed written estimates breaking down all costs. Avoid contractors who give verbal estimates or seem reluctant to explain their pricing—transparency indicates professionalism.
Spring through fall offers the best conditions for parking lot paving in Glen Gardner. Asphalt requires temperatures above 50°F and dry conditions for proper installation and curing.
Late spring and early fall are often ideal because temperatures are moderate and rainfall is typically lower. Summer works well but requires early morning starts to avoid excessive heat that can affect material handling.
Plan ahead for scheduling, especially for larger projects. Quality contractors book up during peak season, and weather delays can push projects back. Starting the planning process in early spring ensures better scheduling flexibility.
