Premium Driveway Surfaces
Paver Driveways in New Jersey
A paver driveway is a premium alternative to asphalt that provides exceptional curb appeal and long-term durability. HomeCraft Paving & Masonry installs paver driveways in concrete pavers and natural stone throughout North and Central New Jersey. Paver driveways are particularly popular in communities where curb appeal and property values are a priority.
Concrete Paver Driveways
Concrete paver driveways are the most popular paver driveway choice in New Jersey. They are available in a wide range of colors, sizes, and textures, and they can be arranged in numerous patterns. Concrete paver driveways are durable, frost-resistant, and can be repaired by replacing individual units — an advantage over poured concrete, which must be replaced in sections.
Natural Stone Driveways
Natural stone driveways — granite cobblestone, Belgian block, and other materials — provide a distinctive, high-end aesthetic. Granite cobblestone driveways are particularly popular in affluent communities throughout New Jersey. Natural stone driveways require skilled installation and a robust base to perform well under vehicle loads.
Base Requirements for Paver Driveways
Paver driveways must support vehicle loads, which requires a more robust base than a patio or walkway. We excavate to the appropriate depth based on soil conditions, install a compacted crushed stone base of adequate thickness, and add a bedding layer before setting the pavers. Proper base preparation is essential — a paver driveway on an inadequate base will settle and shift under vehicle loads.
Drainage
Driveway drainage is critical. Water must drain away from the driveway surface and away from the house. We grade paver driveways to direct water to the sides and can install catch basins, channel drains, or French drains when needed. Permeable paver systems — which allow water to infiltrate through the joints — are an option for properties with drainage challenges.
Paver Driveway Borders
Paver driveways are often combined with Belgian block or natural stone borders on asphalt driveways. A paver border provides a clean, defined edge and adds visual interest without the cost of a full paver driveway. We install paver borders on new and existing asphalt driveways throughout New Jersey.
