Your driveway becomes an asset, not a headache. No more worrying about cracks that turn into potholes or water pooling near your garage door.
You get a smooth, durable surface that handles New Jersey winters without crumbling. The kind that makes your neighbors ask who did the work.
We handle everything from site preparation to final cleanup, so you don’t deal with multiple contractors or surprise costs halfway through the job.
We’ve been paving driveways in HighBridge and throughout Hunterdon County since 1948. That’s not just experience—that’s four generations of understanding how New Jersey weather affects asphalt and what it takes to build driveways that last.
While other contractors juggle multiple jobs, we focus on one project at a time. Your driveway gets our full crew’s attention from start to finish.
HighBridge homeowners deal with everything from steep grades near the old railroad bridge to varying soil conditions throughout the borough. We know these challenges and plan accordingly.
We start with a site visit to assess your current driveway, drainage needs, and any grading requirements. No generic estimates—every property is different.
Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This foundation work determines whether your driveway lasts 15 years or needs repairs in three. We don’t cut corners here.
Then we install the asphalt at the right thickness for your specific needs. Residential driveways typically need 2-3 inches, but we adjust based on your vehicle usage and local conditions.
Final step is cleanup and a walkthrough so you know exactly what to expect during the curing process. We’re available for questions even after the job is complete.

Every driveway paving project includes proper site preparation, quality materials, and professional installation. We handle permits when needed and coordinate with local requirements.
HighBridge’s varied terrain—from the flatter areas near Route 31 to the sloped neighborhoods around Central Avenue—requires different approaches. We adjust our grading and drainage solutions accordingly.
You also get transparent pricing upfront, progress updates throughout the project, and our commitment to treating your property with respect. We clean up completely before considering the job finished.
Our crews are experienced with HighBridge’s specific challenges, from working around mature trees to managing runoff in areas prone to heavy spring rains.
Most residential driveways in HighBridge take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and site conditions. Day one typically involves excavation, grading, and base preparation.
Day two covers asphalt installation and final grading. Weather can affect timing—we won’t install asphalt in rain or extreme temperatures because it compromises quality.
Larger driveways or those requiring significant drainage work may take an additional day. We give you realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if conditions change.
Driveway paving costs in HighBridge typically range from $3,000 to $8,000 for most residential projects. The final price depends on size, current condition, and site-specific factors.
A standard two-car driveway runs $3,000-5,000. Larger driveways, steep grades, or extensive prep work can increase costs to $5,000-8,000 or more.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work needed. No surprises or hidden fees—you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in HighBridge should last 15-25 years with basic maintenance. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on pavement, but quality installation makes the difference.
The key factors are proper base preparation, adequate thickness, and good drainage. Skimp on any of these and you’ll see problems within 5 years.
Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair extend the lifespan significantly. We provide maintenance recommendations specific to your driveway and local conditions.
Yes, we handle permit requirements when needed for HighBridge driveway projects. Most standard driveway replacements don’t require permits, but expansions or significant grade changes might.
We’re familiar with HighBridge Borough’s requirements and coordinate with the building department when necessary. This includes setback requirements and drainage considerations.
You don’t need to worry about the paperwork—we handle municipal coordination as part of our service. If permits are required, we include that in your project timeline and cost estimate.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for driveway paving in HighBridge. We typically schedule most projects between April and October when temperatures are stable.
Asphalt needs warm weather to cure properly—ideally above 50 degrees consistently. Cold weather installation can lead to premature cracking and shorter lifespan.
That said, we can work in cooler weather when necessary using adjusted techniques. Emergency repairs and urgent projects don’t always wait for perfect weather, and we have methods to ensure quality results.
Local contractors understand HighBridge’s specific challenges—from the clay soils in some neighborhoods to drainage issues near the South Branch Raritan River. We’ve worked in this area for decades.
You also get personal attention throughout the project. We’re not managing dozens of jobs across multiple counties—your driveway gets focused attention from start to finish.
Response time matters too. If you have questions or concerns after completion, we’re nearby and available. Large companies often subcontract local work anyway, so you’re getting the same crews with less direct accountability.
