You get a driveway that handles New Jersey’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or settling. Your property value increases while your maintenance headaches disappear.
No more standing water after storms. No more embarrassing potholes when guests visit. No more wondering if you chose the right contractor.
Just smooth, durable asphalt that looks professional and lasts for decades. That’s what happens when experience meets proper technique and quality materials.
We’ve been serving Stockton and Hunterdon County since 1948. We’re the local family that combines old-school work ethic with modern paving expertise.
You won’t find us rushing between three jobs in one day. We focus our entire crew on one project at a time, ensuring every detail gets the attention it deserves.
Our roots run deep in this community. We understand Stockton’s soil conditions, drainage challenges, and how our weather affects asphalt performance. That local knowledge makes the difference between a driveway that lasts and one that fails.
First, we evaluate your property’s unique drainage needs and soil conditions. Poor drainage kills more driveways than heavy trucks, so we get this right from day one.
Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. We remove old, failed material and install a compacted stone base that won’t shift or settle. This foundation work determines whether your driveway lasts 5 years or 25 years.
Then we apply hot asphalt at the correct temperature and thickness for your specific traffic needs. Our crew uses professional-grade equipment to ensure proper compaction and smooth transitions. Finally, we clean up completely and provide maintenance guidance to protect your investment for decades.

Whether you need a residential driveway, commercial parking lot, or industrial paving project, we handle it all. Our services include new installation, resurfacing, patching, and specialized water management solutions.
Stockton’s rolling terrain and seasonal weather patterns require specific paving approaches. We account for your property’s slope, drainage patterns, and soil composition to prevent future problems.
Every project includes proper base preparation, quality hot-mix asphalt, professional-grade compaction, and thorough cleanup. We also offer sealcoating and maintenance services to extend your pavement’s life and protect your investment for years to come.
A properly installed asphalt driveway in Stockton should last 25 to 30 years with regular maintenance. The key is proper base preparation and using the right asphalt thickness for your specific needs.
New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on pavement, but quality installation techniques prevent most weather-related damage. We account for local soil conditions and drainage patterns that many contractors overlook.
Regular sealcoating every 3-5 years and prompt crack repair will help you reach that full lifespan. Cheap installations might look good initially but typically fail within 5-10 years, requiring complete replacement.
An overlay adds new asphalt over your existing driveway, while complete replacement removes everything and starts fresh. The right choice depends on your current driveway’s condition and underlying problems.
Overlay works well when your existing asphalt is structurally sound but showing surface wear. It’s faster and less expensive than full replacement. However, if you have drainage issues, base failure, or extensive cracking, overlay will just postpone bigger problems.
Complete replacement costs more upfront but solves underlying issues permanently. We evaluate your specific situation and recommend the approach that gives you the best long-term value, not just the cheapest short-term fix.
Asphalt driveway costs in our area typically range from $8 to $12 per square foot, including proper excavation and base work. Most residential driveways fall between $4,000 and $15,000 depending on size and complexity.
Several factors affect pricing: current driveway condition, drainage requirements, accessibility, and thickness needs. Properties with poor drainage or difficult access cost more due to additional prep work required.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs clearly. No surprises, no hidden fees. Remember that the lowest bid often leads to the highest long-term costs through premature failure and costly repairs.
Yes, proper drainage is critical to any successful paving project. Water is the number one enemy of asphalt, so we address drainage issues as part of every installation.
We evaluate your property’s natural water flow, existing drainage systems, and potential problem areas. Poor drainage causes premature cracking, settling, and complete pavement failure within just a few years.
Our solutions include proper grading, drainage pipes, catch basins, and water management systems tailored to your property’s specific needs. This upfront investment prevents expensive water damage and extends your pavement’s life significantly.
New asphalt requires minimal maintenance when installed properly, but a few key steps will maximize its lifespan. Sealcoating every 3-5 years protects against UV damage and water penetration.
Address small cracks immediately before they expand and allow water underneath the pavement. Clean oil stains promptly and avoid using salt or harsh chemicals during winter months.
Keep heavy vehicles off the edges where the asphalt is thinner. We provide detailed maintenance guidelines with every project and offer ongoing sealcoating and repair services to protect your investment long-term.
We’ve been serving Stockton families since 1948, combining three generations of experience with modern paving techniques. Unlike contractors who rush between multiple jobs daily, we focus our entire crew on one project at a time.
