Explore Asphalt Paving
Somerset County sits in central-northern New Jersey and covers a wide range of property types, from large-lot residential communities in Bedminster and Far Hills to suburban neighborhoods in Bridgewater and North Plainfield. The county's soil composition includes clay-heavy sections, particularly in Hillsborough and Bernards Township, where moisture retention under asphalt creates settling and cracking over time. Many residential driveways in the county's established neighborhoods were paved in the 1990s and are now at the age where oxidation, surface cracking, and edge failure are common. The county also has corporate campuses and office parks along Route 22 and Route 202 that require maintained parking lots and clear striping.

Asphalt Paving
Bedminster, Far Hills, and Harding Township have some of the longest residential driveways in the region, often running several hundred feet across large lots. A driveway of that length needs consistent base preparation and proper grading along its full run, not just at the apron near the road. Clay soils in these areas hold moisture under the base, so drainage design is part of every paving project we do on large Somerset County properties.
The Route 22 corridor through Bridgewater has a high concentration of retail centers, car dealerships, and office buildings with large parking lots that take constant daily traffic. Parking lot striping fades faster on high-traffic surfaces, and faded lines create confusion for drivers and reduce the number of usable spaces. We repaint striping after seal coating or resurfacing so the lot is fully functional and clearly marked.
Bound Brook and Manville sit in the Raritan River floodplain, where drainage is a persistent concern for any paved surface. Asphalt in low-lying areas of these towns can be undermined by water that does not drain away from the base. Proper grading and edge drainage during installation keeps water moving off the surface rather than pooling under it, which is the main cause of early base failure in these communities.
At a glance
Driveway paving and seal coating are the most requested residential services in Somerset County, where properties in Bedminster, Far Hills, and Bernards Township have long driveways that show age-related cracking and surface oxidation. Parking lot paving and striping serve the county's commercial properties along Route 22 in Bridgewater and Route 202 in Somerville, where office parks and retail centers need maintained surfaces. Crack filling is a practical maintenance step for driveways and parking lots that are structurally sound but showing surface wear. Excavating and site work is often needed on Hillsborough and Manville properties where the existing base has settled due to clay soil movement.

Common questions from Somerset County, NJ customers about our services, process, and coverage.
Long driveways in Bedminster and Far Hills require consistent base preparation across the full length, not just at the entrance. We grade the surface to direct water off the driveway rather than letting it pool at low points along the run. On clay-soil lots, we also assess whether the existing base needs to be removed and replaced before new asphalt goes down, since clay that holds moisture will cause settling and cracking regardless of how good the asphalt layer is.
Center cracking on a driveway in Hillsborough or Bridgewater often points to base failure caused by clay soil settling beneath the pavement. Clay soils in these areas compress and shift with seasonal moisture changes, which causes the asphalt above to crack along the weakest points in the base. Resurfacing without addressing the base will not fix the problem. The base needs to be stabilized or replaced before a new surface layer is applied.
Yes, parking lot striping for commercial and office properties along Route 22 in Bridgewater is a service we provide. We apply fresh line markings for parking spaces, fire lanes, and accessible parking areas after paving or seal coating. Clear, accurate striping keeps traffic moving safely and ensures the lot meets the requirements for accessible parking spaces.
Yes, repeated flooding in low-lying areas of Bound Brook and Manville can undermine asphalt surfaces by saturating the base and washing away the compacted stone beneath the pavement. Once the base is compromised, the asphalt above will crack and sink. Proper drainage design during installation, including grading the surface to direct water away from the pavement edge, reduces the risk of base failure after heavy rain events.
