This local knowledge, combined with decades of hands-on experience, means your project gets the expertise it deserves.
The process starts with a thorough site evaluation to understand your property’s specific drainage, soil, and usage requirements. We explain exactly what needs to happen and why, so you understand what you’re getting.

Productive Asphalt handles residential driveways, commercial parking lots, and industrial paving projects throughout Oldwick and surrounding areas. Services include new installations, resurfacing, repairs, sealcoating, and water management solutions.
For Oldwick properties specifically, we understand the area’s unique challenges: the rolling terrain that requires careful grading, the seasonal weather patterns that affect timing, and the local regulations that impact commercial projects. This regional expertise ensures your project meets both performance requirements and local standards.
We also provide specialized services like crack sealing, pothole repair, and line striping. We work with property managers, homeowners, and business owners who need reliable results without the typical contractor headaches. Senior, military, and first-time customer discounts are available for qualifying projects.
Most residential driveway projects in Oldwick take 1-2 days to complete, depending on size and site conditions. The timeline includes excavation, base preparation, and asphalt installation. Weather conditions can affect scheduling, particularly during New Jersey’s winter months.
After installation, you’ll need to avoid driving on the new surface for 24-48 hours to allow proper curing. We provide specific guidelines based on temperature and humidity conditions at the time of installation. Larger commercial projects typically require 3-5 days, with work scheduled to minimize disruption to business operations.
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for asphalt paving in New Jersey. Temperatures between 50-85°F provide optimal installation and curing conditions. We avoid paving during winter months when freezing temperatures prevent proper asphalt bonding.
Summer installations cure faster but require careful timing to avoid extreme heat that can make the surface too soft. Spring and fall offer the most predictable weather windows for scheduling. We monitor weather forecasts closely and adjust schedules as needed to ensure quality results.
Emergency repairs can be performed year-round using specialized cold-mix materials, though permanent repairs are typically scheduled for warmer months.
Surface cracks and minor potholes can usually be repaired if the underlying base is still solid. However, widespread cracking, significant settling, or drainage problems typically indicate the need for complete replacement. We evaluate the existing base, drainage, and overall structural integrity.
Signs that point toward replacement include: multiple large cracks, areas where the pavement has sunk or shifted, poor drainage causing water pooling, and surfaces that are more than 15-20 years old with extensive damage. Repair makes sense for isolated problems on otherwise sound pavement.
During our site evaluation, we provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation and budget. Sometimes a partial replacement of problem areas combined with resurfacing offers the best value.
New asphalt in Oldwick should be sealcoated 12-18 months after installation, then every 2-3 years thereafter. This protects against New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles, UV damage, and oil stains. Regular cleaning and prompt crack repair prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.
Winter maintenance includes avoiding rock salt directly on the surface – sand or calcium chloride are gentler alternatives. Remove snow promptly to prevent ice formation, but avoid metal shovels or plows that can scratch the surface. Keep drainage areas clear to prevent water backup.
Spring inspections help identify any winter damage early. Small cracks should be sealed promptly to prevent water infiltration. Proper maintenance can extend your pavement’s life to 15-20 years or more, making it a worthwhile investment in your property.
Yes, we handle commercial paving projects throughout Oldwick and Hunterdon County, including parking lots, loading areas, and access roads. Commercial projects require different specifications than residential work, with heavier base preparation and thicker asphalt layers to handle increased traffic loads.
We work with business owners to minimize operational disruption, often scheduling work during off-hours or in phases. Projects include proper drainage design, ADA-compliant accessibility features, and line striping for safety and traffic flow. We understand local commercial building codes and permitting requirements.
Our commercial services also include ongoing maintenance programs, emergency repairs, and seasonal services like sealcoating and crack sealing. We provide detailed project timelines and coordinate with other contractors when necessary for comprehensive site improvements.
