Edison, NJ
Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry is a family-owned, licensed and insured paving and masonry contractor serving Edison, NJ (Middlesex County) and nearby towns. We install and repair asphalt and paver driveways, patios, walkways, stoops, steps and retaining walls, and provide basement waterproofing and foundation repair. Estimates are free.
We’ve been paving and building in Middlesex County for more than three decades, and Edison (Menlo Park, Clara Barton, North Edison, Oak Tree and the rest of Edison Township) is part of our regular service area. Edison combines dense post-war neighborhoods with larger homes in North Edison and a huge commercial base along Route 1, Oak Tree Road and Raritan Center.
Edison’s mostly flat terrain and clay soils mean water has nowhere to go unless paving is pitched correctly. That local knowledge shapes every quote we write: how deep to dig, how much base to install, which way water should run, and which materials will look right on your home.

How we fix itWe rebuild the edges on a wider base and install Belgian block curbing as a solid, plow-resistant border.
How to prevent itMark the edges with stakes before winter and ask your plow service to use a shoe or rubber edge.

Why it happensDark materials absorb heat, and smooth finishes lose grip, especially around pools.
How we fix itWe recommend lighter, textured pavers or thermal-finished bluestone around pools and high-sun areas.
How to prevent itChoose finish and color for the location, not just the look in a catalog.
Driveways: Edison driveways are often tight, with cars parked bumper to bumper, so widening and adding parking pads is a common request, along with replacing old cracked concrete.
Masonry: Brick stoops, steps, walkways and garden walls are our core Edison masonry work, along with repairs to older brick homes.
Outdoor living: Paver patios that create usable outdoor space on suburban lots are very popular in Edison.

Last fall the Old Irish Paving crew repaired our front slate porch and our paver walkway and they did a great job! They came back to complete a minor repair and we are very happy. We are considering using them again for another project.

Asphalt and paver driveways, patios, walkways, stoops and steps, retaining walls, concrete, parking lots, repairs and sealcoating, basement waterproofing and foundation repair.
Yes. We work throughout Edison Township and neighboring Metuchen, Piscataway, Woodbridge and South Plainfield.
Most asphalt driveways take 1–2 days. Paver driveways and patios usually take 3–7 days depending on size and design.
You can, but it rarely looks or performs right next to asphalt or pavers, and many towns limit driveway width. A paved widening on a matching base is the lasting fix.
Well-built pavers and properly air-entrained concrete can last 30+ years, and asphalt 15–25 years. The base and drainage matter more than the surface.
