Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry provides paving services in Flemington, NJ, including asphalt and blacktop driveways, interlocking pavers, concrete, patios, walkways and parking lots, plus repairs and sealcoating. We’re family-owned, licensed and insured, with 30+ years of experience in Hunterdon County.
Flemington’s historic borough has Victorian and early 20th-century homes with brick walks and stoops, while surrounding Raritan Township has larger lots and newer subdivisions. Whatever you’re paving in Flemington, the result depends on what’s underneath: excavation to stable ground, a compacted stone base, and drainage that moves water away from your home.
Hunterdon County’s clay-heavy soils drain slowly, so we pay extra attention to base depth, fabric and drainage on every Flemington project.
Key facts
Problems we solve
These are the issues we’re called about most in Flemington and nearby Hunterdon County: some are specific to local soils, terrain and housing, others are common across New Jersey.
What you seeSoft, sticky subsoil, settling pavers and puddles that linger.
Why it happensClay-heavy soils hold water and lose strength when wet.
How we fix itDeeper excavation, geotextile fabric and a thicker compacted stone base on every paving job.
How to prevent itKeep surface water moving off and away from paved areas.
What you seeHeaved brick walks and crumbling stoops on Victorian-era homes.
Why it happensAge, roots and soft historic brick.
How we fix itWe rebuild walks on a proper base, reuse sound brick and match replacement units.
How to prevent itRepoint before water gets in.
What you seePotholes and worn surfaces in high-traffic retail and office lots.
Why it happensConstant turning traffic and trucks.
How we fix itFull-depth patching, mill and overlay, and re-striping, phased around business hours.
How to prevent itScheduled crack sealing and sealcoating.
What you seeWater ponds near the garage door, along the edges or in tire ruts long after the rain stops.
Why it happensThe driveway was graded flat or sloped the wrong way, or the base has settled in spots. Standing water seeps into cracks and accelerates every other kind of damage.
How we fix itSmall birdbaths can sometimes be corrected with an infrared or hot-mix leveling patch. Where the overall pitch is wrong, the surface has to come out so the base can be regraded, sometimes with a trench drain or dry well added.
How to prevent itPitch matters most at installation. Ask any contractor exactly where water will go before they pave.
What you seeSections of pavers have lifted, often near the house or where water collects.
Why it happensWater in a poorly draining base freezing and expanding. Frost-susceptible soils make it worse.
How we fix itWe rebuild the base with free-draining stone, correct the pitch and address the water source (downspouts, grading).
How to prevent itProper base material and drainage prevent heaving. This is the most important detail on any paver job.
What you seeSlabs have dropped at one end, creating a step or a puddle.
Why it happensBase washout, poor compaction or erosion under the slab.
How we fix itWe remove and repour on a compacted base, correcting drainage.
How to prevent itKeep water from running under slabs.
In the borough, driveways are often narrow and shared with older brick or stone walls. In Raritan Township, we install wider asphalt and paver driveways with Belgian block borders and extra parking pads.
Our asphalt work in Flemington ranges from residential driveway replacement to commercial lot resurfacing near the Route 202/31 corridor.
Every Flemington quote lists the excavation depth, base depth and finished thickness in writing so you can compare contractors fairly.
Compare them in our guide: asphalt vs. concrete vs. pavers.
Retail and office properties along Routes 31 and 202 rely on us for lot paving, repairs, sealcoating and striping. For homeowners, see residential paving, and for businesses see commercial paving.

Tom, his son, and their crew replaced our front walkway and steps and repaired a foundation wall on our home. They were here on time every morning and cleaned up before they left for the day. The quality of their work is outstanding.

Old Irish put in a patio for us and we are extremely happy with the patio and their service. They were very responsive and got the job done very quickly. The patio and concrete pad underneath our hot tub look amazing!
