Why Foundation Preparation Is 90% of a Great Driveway
Most driveway failures occur because contractors pave over spongy, uncompacted sub-soils. At Jhay's Construction, we excavate deep, install genuine quarry process stone, and mechanically compact every layer before paving.
- Complete removal and off-site disposal of old asphalt or deteriorated concrete
- Heavy-duty roller compaction on all subsoil and aggregate base layers
- Engineered slope control to direct water away from garage doorways
- Commercial state-approved hot asphalt mix delivered at peak temperature
- Neat, hand-tamped edges and clean tie-ins to roadways and sidewalks

Howell NJ Driveway Paving FAQs
Q:How long will a new asphalt driveway last in New Jersey?
When installed over a properly compacted 6-to-8 inch stone aggregate base and maintained with commercial sealcoating every 3 to 4 years, a residential asphalt driveway in Howell typically lasts 20 to 30 years.
Q:How long do I need to wait before parking on a newly paved driveway?
For hot-mix asphalt, you can walk on it immediately, but keep passenger cars off for 48 to 72 hours during warm months. For poured concrete, wait a minimum of 7 full days before driving or parking on it.
Q:Do you install Belgian block curbing around driveways?
Yes. Belgian block (granite cobblestone) curbing and driveway aprons are among our most requested curb-appeal enhancements. We set each block in a concrete footing to prevent edge unraveling.
Q:Do I need a permit to repave my driveway in Howell Township?
A direct replacement of an existing driveway footprint generally does not require a complex building permit, but widening a driveway or modifying the street curb cut / apron requires Howell Township engineering approval. We guide you through all local zoning rules.
