Why Asphalt Paving Is the Smart Choice for New Jersey Homeowners

When it comes to paving options for your home or business, few materials offer the versatility, cost-effectiveness, and durability of asphalt. At Old Irish Paving and Masonry LLC, we proudly serve Middlesex and nearly every county in New Jersey, offering high-quality asphalt paving solutions that stand the test of time. Whether you’re upgrading your driveway, installing a parking lot, or resurfacing an old path, asphalt is a smart investment.

Asphalt has become the go-to choice for homeowners, commercial properties, and municipalities alike. It’s not just about the sleek black finish—there are plenty of practical reasons to go with asphalt:

Durability You Can Count On

New Jersey’s climate includes freezing winters and hot, humid summers—conditions that can be tough on pavement. Asphalt is designed to flex and adjust to seasonal temperature changes, making it far less prone to cracking compared to concrete. With proper installation and regular sealing, asphalt can last up to 20 years or more.

Fast Installation & Minimal Disruption

At Old Irish Paving and Masonry, our asphalt jobs are completed quickly—many in just one to two days. The curing process is also much faster than concrete, allowing you to use your new surface within 24-48 hours. This is ideal for busy homeowners or businesses that can’t afford prolonged downtime.

Easy Maintenance & Repairs

Asphalt is relatively low-maintenance. Regular sealcoating every 2–3 years will keep your pavement looking great and extend its lifespan. If cracks or potholes do appear, they can be patched easily and affordably.

Cost-Effective from Start to Finish

Compared to other paving materials, asphalt is less expensive to install and maintain. This makes it an ideal choice for large projects like driveways, walkways, and parking lots—especially when budgets are tight.
