Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry provides paving services in Keansburg, 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 Monmouth County.
Keansburg has compact lots with bungalows, capes and many homes rebuilt or raised after Hurricane Sandy, which often need new stairs, landings and driveways. Whatever you’re paving in Keansburg, the result depends on what’s underneath: excavation to stable ground, a compacted stone base, and drainage that moves water away from your home.
Sandy soils, a high water table, salt air and flood risk along Raritan Bay all shape how we build in Keansburg.
Key facts
Problems we solve
These are the issues we’re called about most in Keansburg and nearby Monmouth County: some are specific to local soils, terrain and housing, others are common across New Jersey.
What you seeRaised homes with temporary or failing steps and landings.
Why it happensElevation changes after flood mitigation.
How we fix itNew masonry or paver stairs and landings with safe, consistent risers and proper footings.
How to prevent itChoose materials that tolerate salt and flooding.
What you seePavers and driveways settling or shifting.
Why it happensLoose sandy soils that drain fast but compact poorly when wet.
How we fix itWell-graded, compacted base and edge restraints designed for sandy conditions.
How to prevent itMaintain edges and joints.
What you seeHard to fit two cars or a usable patio.
Why it happensCompact bayfront lots.
How we fix itSpace-efficient layouts and drainage that keeps water moving to the street.
How to prevent itPlan the whole front yard together.
What you seeThe driveway has turned light gray, the stones are showing, and it feels rough underfoot.
Why it happensSun (UV), water and road salt oxidize the asphalt binder over time, making the surface brittle and porous.
How we fix itIf the surface is structurally sound, we fill cracks and sealcoat to restore color and protection. If the stone is coming loose (raveling), a 1.5–2″ overlay renews the surface.
How to prevent itSealcoat every 2–3 years starting 6–12 months after paving, and don’t over-seal yearly, which can cause peeling.
What you seeChalky white film (efflorescence), oil spots, rust marks or dull color.
Why it happensEfflorescence is natural salts migrating out of concrete pavers. Oil and rust come from cars, fertilizer and furniture, and UV fades color over time.
How we fix itWe clean with the correct product for each stain, then optionally apply a sealer to enhance color and make future cleaning easier.
How to prevent itWipe up oil quickly, keep fertilizer off pavers, and seal if you want a richer, easier-to-clean surface.
What you seeSmall craters (popouts) or pitting across the surface.
Why it happensPorous aggregate near the surface absorbing water and expanding when frozen, or poor finishing.
How we fix itMinor pitting can be cleaned and sealed. Heavy damage calls for resurfacing or replacement with a better mix.
How to prevent itSeal regularly and avoid harsh de-icers.
Keansburg driveways are usually short and narrow, so every inch counts. We maximize parking space, pitch toward the street and use materials that hold up to salt.

I met with the owner Thomas, who gave me ideas and choices for the look I was trying to envision. The crew tore up my old cracked concrete patio and sidewalk and installed gorgeous new pavers. They did the work promptly and professionally and cleaned up well after the jobsite.

FAQ
It depends on size, the condition of the existing surface, how much excavation and base is needed, access and the material. We give free written quotes after a short site visit.
Yes. We pave driveways, patios and walkways for Keansburg homeowners and parking lots and access drives for local businesses.
Yes. Salt air and floodwater are hard on masonry and pavement. We build on a well-compacted base, choose salt-tolerant materials and set pitch so water drains away quickly.
Spring through late fall, when asphalt plants are open and ground temperatures are above roughly 40–50°F. Book early, because spring and fall fill up quickly.
Usually, yes. Sound pavers are lifted, cleaned and reset on the rebuilt base.
Most recurring cracks come from water getting into the base, not from the asphalt itself. Seal cracks while they’re small, fix drainage, and if alligator cracking has spread, rebuild the base in that area.
