You’re tired of patching the same cracks every spring. You want asphalt that handles New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles without falling apart in two years.
Here’s what changes when you choose the right paving contractor. Your driveway becomes the one neighbors ask about. No more puddles that sit for days after rain because we actually understand drainage. No more edges that crumble because we use proper base preparation and quality materials.
Your property value goes up. Your maintenance headaches go down. And you finally have a contractor who shows up when promised and finishes what they start.
We’ve been paving Lawrenceville driveways since before most contractors were born. We’re talking 75+ years of family expertise at Productive Asphalt LLC, not some fly-by-night operation that learned paving from YouTube.
Mark Harrison personally designs every project and stays on-site to ensure it’s done right. When you call, you’re getting the owner—not a salesperson who’s never held a paver.
We’ve completed over 25,000 projects because we treat your driveway like it’s our own. One job at a time. Full attention. Zero shortcuts.
First, Mark comes out personally to assess your specific situation. Not a crew member—the owner. He measures accurately (you’d be surprised how many contractors guess), identifies drainage issues, and explains exactly what your property needs.
Next comes proper preparation. We remove old asphalt completely, grade the base correctly, and install the right depth of quality materials. This isn’t where we cut corners to save a few bucks.
Then we pave with hot-mix asphalt designed for New Jersey’s climate. Proper compaction. Clean edges. Professional finish. You can typically drive on it within 2-3 days, and it’ll handle whatever weather throws at it for decades.

The key is starting with quality base preparation and using materials designed for New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles. We build driveways that consistently exceed these averages because we don’t skip steps during installation. Regular sealcoating every 2-3 years and prompt crack repair help maximize your investment’s lifespan.
Mark Harrison personally handles every estimate and oversees every job—you’re not dealing with salespeople or subcontractors. We focus on one project at a time, giving your driveway our complete attention instead of rushing between multiple jobs.
Our family has been paving for over 75 years, so we’ve seen every possible problem and know how to prevent them. We also provide the most accurate measurements—customers consistently tell us we’re closest to the true square footage compared to other estimates. When we give you a price, that’s what you pay.
Residential driveway paving in Lawrenceville typically ranges from $7-$15 per square foot, depending on the size, current condition, and specific requirements of your project. Commercial projects generally cost $2-$5 per square foot.
The final price depends on several factors: whether we need to remove existing pavement, the extent of base preparation required, drainage considerations, and site accessibility. We provide detailed, transparent pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges or hidden fees.
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties that exceed industry standards. Our workmanship warranty covers installation defects and ensures your peace of mind.
We stand behind our work because we use quality materials and proper installation techniques. If something goes wrong due to our workmanship, we’ll make it right. Most paving problems occur due to poor base preparation or shortcuts during installation—areas where we never compromise. Our warranty reflects our confidence in doing the job correctly from the start.
Asphalt paving requires temperatures above 50°F for proper installation and curing. We typically schedule paving projects from spring through fall when weather conditions are optimal.
However, we can handle emergency repairs during winter months using specialized cold-patch materials for temporary fixes. Winter is actually the perfect time to plan your paving project—we can assess your needs, finalize designs, and schedule installation for optimal spring weather. This ensures your project gets priority placement when paving season begins.
New Jersey’s climate requires proactive asphalt maintenance to maximize your investment. We recommend sealcoating every 2-3 years to protect against UV rays, water penetration, and chemical damage from winter salt.
Address cracks promptly before they allow water infiltration—especially important before winter freeze-thaw cycles. Keep your asphalt clean from debris and oil spills, which can weaken the surface. With proper maintenance, your asphalt will look better and last significantly longer than neglected surfaces. We can provide a maintenance schedule tailored to your specific project and usage patterns.
