You drive up to a smooth, professionally finished surface that makes your property look like it belongs in the neighborhood’s best-kept section. No more dodging potholes in your own driveway or explaining to visitors why they need to park on the street.
The water flows where it should. Your car sits level. And when neighbors walk by, they notice your property for the right reasons.
That’s what happens when you work with contractors who understand that your driveway isn’t just pavement—it’s the first thing people see when they visit your home or business.
We’ve been paving driveways and parking lots in WhiteHorse since 1948. That’s three generations of learning what works, what doesn’t, and what keeps customers calling us back when they need work done right.
We focus on one job at a time. While other contractors juggle multiple projects and leave you wondering when they’ll show up, our crew gives your project complete attention until it’s finished.
You’ll know what’s happening every step of the way. No surprises, no excuses, and no wondering if we’ll actually finish what we started.
First, we come out to look at your property and give you a clear, written estimate. No ballpark figures or “we’ll figure it out as we go” pricing. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Next, we prep the area properly. This means proper grading, ensuring good drainage, and creating a solid foundation. Most paving problems start here, so we don’t cut corners.
Then we lay the asphalt using quality materials and the right techniques for WhiteHorse’s climate. We compact it properly and make sure the edges are clean and professional-looking.
Finally, we clean up completely and walk through the finished job with you. You get care instructions and our contact information for any questions down the road.

Every paving job includes proper site preparation, quality asphalt materials, and professional installation techniques that work in New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles. We handle the permits, coordinate with local utilities if needed, and ensure proper drainage to prevent water damage.
For WhiteHorse properties, we understand the local soil conditions and drainage challenges. Many driveways in the area deal with water runoff issues, especially during heavy rains. We factor this into every installation.
You also get our straightforward warranty, clear cleanup, and honest communication throughout the project. We offer discounts for seniors, military personnel, and first-time customers because we believe good work should be accessible to everyone in our community.
Most residential driveways take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size and weather conditions. Day one is usually excavation and prep work. Day two is asphalt installation and initial compacting.
We need at least 24 hours of dry weather to ensure proper curing. If rain is forecast, we’ll reschedule rather than risk a subpar job that you’ll pay for later.
You can typically drive on your new driveway within 24-48 hours for light vehicles, but we recommend waiting a full week before parking heavy trucks or RVs to ensure the surface has fully cured.
Repair works when you have isolated problem areas—maybe a few cracks or small potholes. We can patch these areas and seal the surface to extend the life of your existing driveway.
Complete replacement is necessary when the base has failed, when there are widespread cracks, or when the surface has multiple layers of patches that aren’t holding up. Trying to repair a driveway that needs replacement just wastes your money.
During our initial visit, we’ll be honest about which approach makes sense for your situation and your budget. Sometimes a repair can buy you a few more years; sometimes it’s better to start fresh.
Quality asphalt has a consistent black color and smooth texture when it’s installed. It should be hot when it arrives—around 300 degrees—and should compact smoothly without tearing or pulling apart.
The base material matters just as much. We use properly graded stone that compacts well and provides good drainage. Cheap contractors often skip this step or use inferior base materials that cause problems later.
Ask to see the delivery tickets for your materials. Reputable suppliers provide documentation showing the asphalt mix design and temperature. If your contractor can’t or won’t show you this information, that’s a red flag.
Residential driveways typically range from $3-7 per square foot, depending on the condition of your existing base, access to your property, and any drainage work needed. A standard two-car driveway usually runs $2,500-$5,000.
The lowest bid isn’t always the best value. Contractors who underbid often cut corners on materials, skip proper base preparation, or add surprise charges later. We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for.
Factors that affect pricing include excavation depth needed, drainage requirements, property access for our equipment, and any special features like decorative edges or multiple parking areas.
A properly installed asphalt driveway should last 15-25 years with basic maintenance. The key factors are proper base preparation, quality materials, and regular sealcoating every 3-5 years.
WhiteHorse’s climate is tough on pavement because of freeze-thaw cycles. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, and expands, creating bigger problems. That’s why proper installation and preventive maintenance are so important here.
We provide care instructions with every job, including when to sealcoat, how to handle snow removal, and what to watch for. Following these guidelines can significantly extend your driveway’s lifespan and keep it looking professional.
Yes, we handle everything from small business parking areas to large commercial and industrial projects. The same attention to detail we bring to residential driveways applies to commercial work—proper base preparation, quality materials, and professional installation.
Commercial projects often require additional considerations like ADA compliance, proper drainage for larger surface areas, and coordination with business operations to minimize disruption. We can work around your schedule when possible.
We also handle ongoing maintenance contracts for businesses that want to keep their parking areas in top condition. Regular maintenance is much more cost-effective than waiting for major repairs or complete replacement.
