Your driveway handles everything from daily family traffic to New Jersey’s brutal freeze-thaw cycles. When it’s installed right, you get smooth access, protected property value, and peace of mind for 25+ years.
That means no more dodging potholes in your own driveway. No more water pooling against your foundation. No more explaining to neighbors why your surface looks like a patchwork quilt.
Instead, you pull into a driveway that enhances your home’s appearance and handles whatever weather throws at it. Your investment pays dividends in curb appeal, functionality, and fewer headaches down the road.
We’ve been serving Tewksbury families since 1948, when quality work and your word still meant something. We’ve watched this community grow while maintaining the same commitment to treating every project like it’s our own property.
You won’t find us rushing between five jobs in one day. We focus on one project at a time, giving your driveway or parking lot the attention it deserves. That’s how we’ve earned five-star reviews on Angie’s List and built relationships that span generations.
Whether you’re maintaining one of Tewksbury’s historic properties or upgrading a newer home, we understand what this community values: quality work, honest communication, and results that last.
We start with a thorough site evaluation, examining your property’s drainage, soil conditions, and specific needs. No cookie-cutter estimates—every property in Tewksbury has unique characteristics that affect the approach.
Next comes proper excavation and base preparation. This foundation work determines how well your surface performs for decades. We install the right depth of compacted stone base, ensuring proper drainage away from your home and structures.
The asphalt installation follows precise specifications for thickness and compaction. We use quality materials and proven techniques, then finish with attention to edges, transitions, and final grading. You get clear timelines, regular updates, and surfaces ready to handle everything from daily use to winter weather.

Our services cover everything from residential driveways to large commercial parking lots and industrial surfaces. Each project receives the same meticulous attention, whether it’s a 500-square-foot driveway or a multi-acre facility.
Tewksbury’s rural character means we often work with longer driveways, challenging grades, and properties that require custom drainage solutions. We handle these complexities with specialized equipment and decades of local experience.
Beyond new installation, we provide sealcoating, crack repair, and maintenance services to extend your pavement’s life. Given New Jersey’s harsh weather cycles, regular maintenance isn’t optional—it’s essential for protecting your investment and maintaining that professional appearance your property deserves.
Properly installed asphalt paving in Tewksbury typically lasts 25-30 years with appropriate maintenance. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on pavement, but quality installation with proper base preparation and drainage makes the difference.
The key factors are using adequate asphalt thickness (typically 3-4 inches for residential driveways), ensuring proper compaction, and installing effective drainage. We also recommend sealcoating every 3-5 years to protect against water penetration and UV damage.
Properties in Tewksbury’s rural areas often have longer driveways with varying grades, which requires careful attention to water management. When these elements are handled correctly during installation, your pavement investment delivers decades of reliable service.
Asphalt offers significant advantages for Tewksbury homeowners, especially regarding cost and climate performance. Asphalt typically costs $5-7 per square foot installed, while concrete runs $10-15 per square foot.
More importantly, asphalt handles New Jersey’s winter weather better than concrete. Concrete tends to crack from freeze-thaw cycles and can be damaged by road salt. Asphalt remains more flexible, and repairs blend seamlessly with existing surface.
Asphalt also provides better traction in winter conditions and can be installed faster with less disruption to your daily routine. While concrete offers more color options, asphalt’s classic appearance complements Tewksbury’s traditional home styles while delivering superior performance and value.
Proper drainage is critical for any paving project in Tewksbury, where we see significant rainfall and snowmelt throughout the year. We start every project with a thorough site evaluation to identify existing drainage patterns and potential problem areas.
Our approach includes proper grading to direct water away from structures, installing adequate stone base for subsurface drainage, and creating appropriate surface slopes. For properties with challenging drainage, we can install catch basins, drainage pipes, or other specialized solutions.
Many paving failures stem from water infiltration, which is why we never skip drainage considerations. Whether it’s preventing water from pooling against your foundation or ensuring proper runoff from larger commercial surfaces, addressing drainage during installation prevents costly problems later.
New asphalt requires minimal immediate maintenance but benefits from a planned care schedule. We recommend waiting 6-12 months before the first sealcoating application, allowing the asphalt to cure properly and any oils to evaporate.
After that initial period, sealcoating every 3-5 years protects against water penetration, UV damage, and chemical spills. We also recommend prompt attention to any cracks that develop—small repairs prevent larger, more expensive problems.
For Tewksbury properties, winter care includes using calcium chloride instead of rock salt when possible, and avoiding metal snow shovels that can gouge the surface. Regular cleaning and occasional power washing help maintain appearance and identify potential issues early.
Most residential driveway projects in Tewksbury take 2-3 days from start to finish, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. Day one typically involves excavation and base preparation, day two focuses on asphalt installation, and day three handles final grading and cleanup.
Larger or more complex projects may require additional time, especially if we’re addressing drainage issues or working around challenging site conditions. We provide realistic timelines during our initial consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.
Weather plays a role in scheduling—we won’t install asphalt in wet conditions or when temperatures are too cold for proper compaction. This attention to timing ensures your investment performs as expected for decades to come.
Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties that reflect our confidence in our installation quality. Our standard warranty covers workmanship defects and premature failure due to installation issues.
