Local Paving
Paving in East Greenwich Township, NJ
East Greenwich Township, which includes Mickleton, sits along Route 44 and Kings Highway near the I-295 interchange, in a stretch of Gloucester County that's been steadily adding new residential development between Mantua and Clarksboro. Much of our work here follows that growth — newer driveways on lots graded within the past several years rather than the decades-old asphalt common in older parts of the county.
Even with newer construction, South Jersey's high water table and sandy subsoil mean drainage still has to be planned carefully around each driveway and lot, since standing water at the edge of new asphalt causes problems just as fast as it does on an old one. Between Mickleton's residential growth and the light commercial development following it along Route 44, East Greenwich's paving demand stays centered on getting new pavement graded right the first time.
Our Process
How we pave an East Greenwich Township driveway or lot
Every job follows the same disciplined sequence — the base and drainage work you can’t see is what keeps the surface you can see from cracking, sinking, or holding water a few winters later.
- 1
Site inspection
We walk the site — a newer driveway in Mickleton, a lot on a recently graded parcel off Route 44, or light commercial near the I-295 interchange — and evaluate the grade, the subsoil, and how water will move once the pavement is down.
- 2
Removal & prep
On newer construction the focus is prepping the graded pad; where an older surface exists, worn asphalt and any unstable base are fully removed before anything new goes down.
- 3
Grading & drainage
The surface is graded to carry water away from the driveway and lot — and in East Greenwich that’s the whole ballgame, because a high water table and sandy subsoil mean standing water at a fresh edge causes problems just as fast on new pavement as on old.
- 4
Stone base
A compacted stone base is installed or rebuilt — on soil that holds moisture close to the surface, a well-built base is what keeps the asphalt from settling unevenly over its first few seasons.
- 5
Asphalt installation
Hot-mix asphalt is laid at a depth suited to the job — standard depth for residential driveways, a heavier commercial-grade mix for the light commercial development following the growth along Route 44.
- 6
Rolling & compaction
Professional rollers compact the asphalt into a dense, even surface built to stand up to daily household use and the steadily growing traffic near the interchange.
- 7
Cleanup & finishing
We clean the site and handle finishing work; edge detailing and any commercial striping is scheduled once the asphalt has cured enough to hold a line.
- 8
Aftercare
Most residential jobs take one to a few days, and we coordinate with builders and community associations where a shared schedule is involved. Keep vehicles off for at least 48 hours and follow the aftercare we provide.

Repair, resurface, or replace
The right fix for your driveway
East Greenwich skews newer — a lot of its driveways sit on lots graded within the past several years rather than decades ago — so here the question is usually protecting a young surface, and often protecting it against water. The right fix still comes down to the base underneath: if it’s sound you have affordable options, and if it’s failing, resurfacing over it only buys a little time before cracks reflect back through. Here’s how we tell the difference on an East Greenwich property.
Sealcoat & crack fill
The right call for most of East Greenwich’s newer driveways: a sound surface where filling small cracks early and sealing on a regular cycle keeps water and salt out of the base — and on this soil, keeping water out is everything.
Resurface
When the surface is worn but the base is still solid, a new asphalt layer over a prepared surface restores it for far less than a full rebuild.
Replace
Alligator cracking, sinking, or standing water usually mean the base has failed — often where drainage let the high water table work up under the surface. We remove and rebuild the base and drainage so the new surface actually lasts.
Maintenance
Keeping East Greenwich Township asphalt in shape year-round
Spring
Inspect for settling and standing water after the winter — on East Greenwich’s high-water-table lots, a low spot that holds water in spring is an early warning worth addressing before it spreads.
Summer
Warm, dry weather is ideal for crack filling and the first sealcoat on newer driveways — sealing on schedule is the best protection you can give fresh asphalt on this soil.
Fall
Clear leaves and debris from driveway edges and drains, and fill open cracks before the freeze-and-thaw cycle and the first plow pass work them wider.
Winter
South Jersey winters swing across freezing, and water trapped under pavement is what freeze-thaw exploits. Use plastic snow shovels, not metal blades, and keep harsh deicers off newer driveways where you can.

FAQ
East Greenwich Township asphalt paving questions
Why does drainage get so much attention on a new driveway here?
Because East Greenwich sits on a high water table and sandy subsoil. Standing water at the edge of new asphalt causes problems just as fast as it does on an old driveway, so we grade to carry water off the surface and build the base to keep moisture from working up underneath — even on freshly graded lots.
Do I need a permit for a driveway on Route 44 or near the interchange?
For a new or widened access onto a state route like 44, yes — that falls under an NJDOT access permit. Driveways on local township roads run through East Greenwich’s zoning office, and simple resurfacing within your existing footprint usually needs no permit. We confirm what applies and pull anything required before we start.
My home is in a newer development — is there an HOA approval step?
Often, yes. Many of East Greenwich’s newer planned communities require homeowners’ association approval for driveway work, sometimes with rules on finish or layout. We’re glad to work within those and coordinate the timing with a community schedule.
When is the best time of year to pave in South Jersey?
Late spring through early fall. Warm, dry conditions let the asphalt compact and cure properly, which matters even in South Jersey’s milder winters, where freeze-thaw swings and road salt still stress pavement.
My driveway is worn — resurface or replace?
It depends on the base. If the asphalt is worn but the base is still sound, resurfacing costs far less than a full rebuild. Alligator cracking, sinking, or standing water usually mean the base has failed — often a drainage problem on this soil — and needs rebuilding.
How long does asphalt last with our winters?
With proper base preparation, good drainage, and regular sealcoating, an asphalt driveway commonly lasts 15 to 20+ years here, even with the freeze-thaw stress a South Jersey winter brings.
