Asphalt Paving
Asphalt Paving Overview
Built for New Jersey Weather. Built to Last.
In New Jersey, asphalt takes a beating. Freezing winters, heavy rain, summer heat, and constant traffic all test your pavement year after year. That’s why proper preparation matters just as much as the asphalt itself.
We provide professional asphalt paving and repair services across New Jersey for residential and commercial properties. Our focus is simple: solid base work, proper drainage, clean finishes, and long-term performance.
No shortcuts. No thin layers. No rushed jobs.

Common Asphalt Paving Problems
Unfinished driveways and lots can cause numerous issues, from erosion to the development of potholes and cracks. These problems can become worse over time, particularly during New Jersey’s harsh winters and rainy seasons. With Howard Paving, you can avoid these headaches. We provide expertly paved surfaces that not only look great but also make snow removal and routine maintenance easier.
Before laying down fresh asphalt, we take special care to prepare the area thoroughly. Proper excavation, grading, and drainage solutions are key to preventing issues like cracks and erosion. By using high-quality materials and expert techniques, we ensure your project stands up to New Jersey’s changing climate and heavy vehicle traffic.
If you're planning to store heavy vehicles or bulky equipment, we recommend considering concrete for added strength and durability.

Asphalt Paving Process
Asphalt Paving Commercial & Residential Properties
Asphalt is an ideal material for paving both commercial parking lots and residential driveways. It’s highly durable, capable of withstanding the wear and tear from passing vehicles, and requires minimal upkeep. Unlike dirt or gravel roads, properly laid asphalt provides a smooth, level surface that prevents shifting and erosion over time. Our team at Howard Paving ensures that your paved surfaces are built to last, withstanding the impact of vehicles, weather, and general wear.
Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your property. A properly installed asphalt driveway adds curb appeal, improves drainage, and gives you a smooth, safe surface for everyday use.
We handle:
New driveway installations
Driveway replacements
Driveway extensions
Private road paving
Parking pads
Our process starts with proper excavation and grading. A strong base is everything. Without it, even the best asphalt won’t last. We compact the sub-base correctly, ensure proper slope for drainage, and apply high-quality asphalt at the right thickness for long-term durability.
The result? A driveway that looks sharp and performs in every season.

At Howard Paving, we are committed to eco-friendly practices, which is why we prioritize the use of recycled asphalt materials whenever possible. Asphalt is not only recyclable but also the most recycled material in the United States. The sustainability of asphalt makes it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial properties.
For commercial projects, we often recommend milling and repaving. Milling grinds down the old asphalt surface, allowing us to create a smooth, even foundation for the new layer of asphalt. This process helps the new asphalt bond effectively and ensures the longevity of the paved surface.

Reinforce Your Asphalt PavementReinforcing the edges of your asphalt driveway or parking lot is crucial for durability, especially in high-traffic areas. Reinforced edges help prevent cracking caused by the weight of vehicles and other stresses. At Howard Paving, we offer a variety of stylish and functional options for reinforcing your pavement, such as Belgium blocks or natural stone borders. These additions not only enhance the look of your property but also protect your investment, ensuring your asphalt stays intact for years to come.
