Local Paving
Paving in Mullica Hill, NJ
Mullica Hill, part of Harrison Township, is built around a historic Main Street — Route 45 — village lined with shops, with Route 322 running through the surrounding township toward Glassboro. Away from that walkable village core, though, the township opens into larger residential properties and working farmland, giving Mullica Hill one of the more rural paving profiles in Gloucester County.
Those larger properties often mean longer driveways than the short aprons common in denser parts of the county — more square footage to grade correctly and a real case for regular sealcoating, since an unsealed drive of real length tends to wear unevenly end to end. Downtown, the village's small commercial lots call for a different, more compact approach. Between Main Street's historic storefronts and the longer rural driveways surrounding them, Mullica Hill's paving work covers a wide range within a single township.
Our Process
How we pave a Mullica Hill driveway
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 — often a long rural driveway on a larger property off Route 322, sometimes a small storefront lot in the historic Main Street village — and evaluate the grade, the run, and how water moves across acreage rather than a short apron.
- 2
Removal & prep
Worn asphalt and any unstable base are fully removed and the site is cleared and prepped — on a long farm or estate drive, that’s more square footage to prep correctly than a typical suburban lot.
- 3
Grading & drainage
The surface is graded to carry water off along its whole length — on the township’s open, sandy ground, a long drive has to shed water at every point, not just at the street, to avoid soft spots and channeling.
- 4
Stone base
A compacted stone base is installed or rebuilt across the run — a consistent base is what keeps a long rural driveway from wearing unevenly end to end.
- 5
Asphalt installation
Hot-mix asphalt is laid at a depth suited to the job — standard depth for residential and rural driveways, with a more compact approach for the village’s small commercial lots.
- 6
Rolling & compaction
Professional rollers compact the asphalt into a dense, even surface built to stand up to daily use, occasional farm equipment, and the run of a long private drive.
- 7
Cleanup & finishing
We clean the site and handle finishing work; careful edge and border detailing along landscaped approaches, and any village-lot striping, is scheduled once the asphalt has cured enough to hold a line.
- 8
Aftercare
Driveway jobs take one to a few days depending on length, and downtown village work is scheduled around business hours. Keep vehicles off for at least 48 hours and follow the aftercare we provide.

Repair, resurface, or replace
The right fix for your driveway
Away from the village core, Mullica Hill opens into larger properties and working farmland, and that often means longer driveways than the short aprons common in denser parts of the county — more square footage where a sound base matters over real length. The right fix comes down to that base: if it’s still solid, you have affordable options; 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 a Mullica Hill property.
Sealcoat & crack fill
On a long rural drive, a regular sealcoating cadence is what keeps the surface consistent from the road all the way to the house — an unsealed drive of real length tends to wear unevenly across its run.
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 — a real cost difference on a long driveway.
Replace
Alligator cracking, sinking, or standing water usually mean the base has failed. On acreage that carries occasional farm equipment, we rebuild the base and drainage to the load so the new surface actually lasts.
Maintenance
Keeping Mullica Hill asphalt in shape year-round
Spring
Walk the full length of a long drive after winter, looking for cracks, soft spots, and standing water — problems on acreage often start out where a short apron would never show them.
Summer
Warm, dry weather is ideal for crack filling and sealcoating — on a long rural driveway, a summer sealcoat is what keeps the whole run looking and wearing consistently.
Fall
Clear leaves and debris from the drive and any culverts or edge drains, and repair open cracks before the freeze-and-thaw cycle works them wider.
Winter
South Jersey winters swing across freezing. Use plastic snow shovels or a rubber-edged plow blade on long drives, not metal that gouges, and go easy on harsh deicers to protect the surface.
Why H&H
Local, licensed, and built on base work
H&H is owned by Henry, a third-generation paving contractor with over a decade in the trade, serving Mullica Hill and the rest of Harrison Township and Gloucester County — including Glassboro, East Greenwich, Mantua, and Woodbury — from just across the Delaware line. Licensed and fully insured, our crew focuses on the base prep, grading, drainage, and compaction that decide whether a driveway holds up — whether it’s a long rural drive on open farmland or a small lot in the historic village — and we give straight answers on whether repair, resurfacing, or replacement is the best value for your property.
FAQ
Mullica Hill asphalt paving questions
My property is in the historic village — are there extra approvals for paving?
There can be. Harrison Township maintains the Mullica Hill Historic District, and work that’s visible from a public street within the district can require a Certificate of Appropriateness through the township’s historic preservation review before a permit is issued. If your property falls inside the district, we help you confirm what applies before we start.
Do you handle long farm and estate driveways?
Yes — that’s much of our Mullica Hill work. A drive that runs several hundred feet is more square footage to grade correctly, has to shed water along its whole length, and makes a strong case for a regular sealcoating cadence so it wears evenly from the road to the house.
Do I need a permit for a driveway on Route 322 or Route 45?
For a new or widened access onto a state route like 322 or 45, yes — that falls under an NJDOT access permit. Driveways on local township roads run through Harrison Township, and simple resurfacing within an existing footprint usually needs no permit. We pull anything required.
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 — and give a long driveway time to set up right before the weather turns.
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 — a real saving on a long drive. Alligator cracking, sinking, or standing water usually mean the base has failed and needs rebuilding.
How long does asphalt last with our winters?
With proper base preparation and regular sealcoating, an asphalt driveway commonly lasts 15 to 20+ years, even with the freeze-thaw stress a South Jersey winter brings — and on a long drive, that sealcoating cadence makes a real difference.
