You’re not looking for the cheapest asphalt job. You’re looking for paving installation that won’t crack apart after two winters, pool water by your garage, or leave you wondering if your asphalt contractor actually knew what they were doing.
When your driveway paving or commercial paving project is handled correctly, you stop worrying. No more potholes jarring your car every time you pull in. No more water creeping toward your foundation because grading was an afterthought. No more callbacks to fix what should’ve been done properly from the start.
You get a surface that holds up through New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rainfall, and years of daily use. You get a property that looks sharp and functions the way it should. And you get to move on with your life, knowing that investment was actually worth it.
We have roots in this industry going back to 1948. That’s not a marketing line—that’s decades of figuring out what works in Delaware, NJ and what doesn’t.
We’re a family-run paving company serving Delaware Township and the surrounding Hunterdon County area, handling everything from residential driveway paving to industrial asphalt projects. Our approach is straightforward: one job at a time, full crew attention, no shortcuts. Whether you’re a homeowner replacing a cracked driveway or a business owner managing a commercial parking lot, you get the same level of care and the same commitment to doing it right.
We’ve built our reputation on honest work, clear communication, and treating every paving project—big or small—like it matters. Because it does.
First, we come out and assess your property. Not a quick glance from the driveway—an actual evaluation of drainage, base condition, grading needs, and any site-specific challenges. We talk through what you need, what makes sense for your budget, and what timeline works for you.
Once we’re aligned, we prep the site properly. That means addressing the base, fixing drainage issues before they become your problem, and making sure everything is graded correctly. Skipping this step is how you end up with a nice-looking asphalt driveway that fails in two years.
Then we handle the paving installation. Our crew stays on your job until it’s complete—no bouncing between sites, no half-finished work sitting for days. We use quality asphalt materials, the right equipment, and the experience that comes from doing this for decades.
When we’re done, you get a walkthrough. We make sure you’re clear on maintenance, answer any questions, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. That’s the process. No drama, no surprises.

Delaware Township sits in Hunterdon County, where properties range from residential homes with long driveways to commercial sites with heavy traffic demands. The weather here doesn’t mess around—freezing winters, significant rainfall, and seasonal shifts that test any asphalt paving job.
That’s why proper installation matters for both residential paving and commercial paving projects. Asphalt performs well in New Jersey’s climate when it’s done right: correct thickness, proper compaction, and grading that moves water away from structures. We handle residential driveway installation, commercial parking lot paving, industrial site work, and the water management solutions that keep everything functioning long-term.
If you’re a senior, military member, or first-time customer, we offer specialized discounts. We also work with you on timing—scheduling around your business hours or family routine to minimize disruption. Every paving project gets a customized approach because every property in Delaware has different needs, drainage patterns, and usage demands.
You’re not getting a template. You’re getting a solution designed specifically for your property.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Delaware should last 20 to 30 years with regular maintenance. The key word there is “properly installed”—because if the base isn’t prepared correctly or drainage isn’t addressed, you’ll see problems much sooner.
New Jersey weather is tough on asphalt. Freeze-thaw cycles cause expansion and contraction, which leads to cracking if the paving installation was rushed or the materials were subpar. Heavy rain can erode a weak base or cause water infiltration that breaks down the asphalt from underneath.
Maintenance extends that lifespan significantly. Sealcoating every two to three years protects against UV damage and water penetration. Filling cracks when they’re small prevents them from turning into potholes. And keeping your driveway clean of debris and standing water helps preserve the surface. If you invest in quality driveway paving upfront and stay on top of basic maintenance, you’re looking at decades of reliable use.
Resurfacing means adding a new layer of asphalt over your existing driveway. It’s less expensive and works well if your current base is still solid but the surface is worn, faded, or has minor cracking. Think of it as a refresh—you’re extending the life of what’s already there.
Replacement means tearing out the old driveway completely and starting from scratch. This is necessary when the base has failed, when there are significant drainage problems, or when the existing asphalt has deep structural damage like large potholes or widespread cracking.
Here’s how to know which you need: if water pools on your driveway, if you have major cracks or sunken areas, or if the edges are crumbling, you likely need replacement. If the surface just looks tired but still drains properly and doesn’t have structural issues, resurfacing might be the smarter move. We assess this during the site visit and give you an honest recommendation based on what will actually last—not just what costs more.
Most residential driveway paving projects in Delaware run between $5,500 and $12,000, depending on size, current condition, and what needs to be done. That’s a wide range because every property is different.
A small, straightforward driveway replacement on a flat lot with good drainage will cost less than a large driveway that requires extensive base repair, grading work, or drainage solutions. If we’re tearing out old concrete or pavers, that adds to the cost. If your property has access challenges or requires extra prep work, that factors in too.
We give transparent estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for—materials, labor, site prep, and any additional work like grading or drainage. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after we start. The goal is for you to know exactly what you’re getting into before we break ground. And if there’s a more cost-effective approach that still gets you quality results, we’ll tell you about it.
Water pooling happens because of grading issues—either the surface wasn’t sloped correctly during paving installation, or the base has settled unevenly over time. Asphalt needs to be graded so water flows away from structures and off the edges. When that doesn’t happen, you get standing water.
Standing water is more than just annoying. It seeps into small cracks, freezes during winter, expands, and creates bigger cracks and potholes. It also weakens the base underneath, which can lead to structural failure of the asphalt. Over time, areas with chronic pooling will deteriorate much faster than properly drained sections.
Fixing it usually means addressing the grading. Sometimes that’s a simple overlay with proper slope built in. Other times it requires more extensive work—especially if the base has already been compromised. We assess drainage during every site visit because it’s one of the most common reasons asphalt fails prematurely. If your driveway or parking lot has persistent pooling, it’s worth addressing before it turns into a much more expensive problem.
Look for experience, transparency, and a reputation you can verify. Anyone can pour asphalt, but doing it correctly—with proper base prep, grading, and attention to drainage—requires knowledge that comes from years in the field.
Ask how long they’ve been in business and whether they handle paving projects like yours regularly. A contractor who specializes in large commercial jobs might not be the best fit for a residential driveway, and vice versa. Check reviews on platforms like Angie’s List or Google, and ask for references if you want to talk to past customers.
Transparency matters. You want an asphalt contractor who explains what they’re doing and why, gives you a detailed estimate, and communicates clearly throughout the project. If someone is vague about costs, rushes through the site assessment, or pressures you to sign immediately, that’s a red flag. Good paving contractors take the time to understand your property, answer your questions, and make sure you’re comfortable with the plan before any work starts.
Asphalt can be installed in cooler weather, but there are limitations. Asphalt needs to be laid and compacted at specific temperatures to bond properly and cure correctly. When temperatures drop too low—generally below 50 degrees—the asphalt cools too quickly, making it difficult to achieve proper compaction.
That doesn’t mean paving stops completely in fall or early winter, but it does mean conditions have to be right. We monitor weather forecasts closely and only schedule paving installation when temperatures will cooperate. Trying to pave in freezing conditions results in poor compaction, premature cracking, and a surface that won’t hold up.
Spring through fall is the ideal window for asphalt paving in New Jersey. If you’re planning a project, booking during the off-season (early spring or late fall) can sometimes get you better availability and pricing since it’s outside the busy summer months. But regardless of timing, we won’t start a job unless conditions are right—because a driveway installed incorrectly in poor weather will cost you more in repairs down the road than waiting for the right conditions.
