Edison, NJ
Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry designs and builds patios in Edison, NJ, using interlocking pavers, bluestone, natural stone and concrete. Each patio is pitched away from the house, built on a compacted stone base, and can include seat walls, steps, fire pits and planters. Most patios are completed in 3–7 days.
Paver patios that create usable outdoor space on suburban lots are very popular in Edison.
Edison’s mostly flat terrain and clay soils mean water has nowhere to go unless paving is pitched correctly. So we design every patio with drainage in mind, sloped away from the house and built on a base that won’t settle.
Key facts
Problems we solve
These are the issues we’re called about most in Edison and nearby Middlesex County: some are specific to local soils, terrain and housing, others are common across New Jersey.
What you seePuddles on driveways and patios, and water toward garages.
Why it happensVery flat terrain and clay soils.
How we fix itPrecise grading to the street or drains, and trench drains or dry wells where needed.
How to prevent itConfirm the drainage plan before paving.
What you seeMore cars than driveway space.
Why it happensCompact suburban lots.
How we fix itWidening and parking pads within township rules.
How to prevent itPlan for future cars.
What you seePotholes and worn lanes along Route 1 and Oak Tree Road.
Why it happensConstant traffic and deliveries.
How we fix itPatch, mill and overlay, re-stripe, and maintenance plans.
How to prevent itCrack seal regularly.
What you seeStones wobble, edges chip, and mortar joints crack and fall out.
Why it happensStone set on a thin or crumbling mortar bed, or a slab beneath that has cracked, with water freezing in the joints.
How we fix itLoose stones are lifted, the bed is cleaned and rebuilt, and stones are reset and repointed. If the slab underneath is broken, it gets rebuilt.
How to prevent itRepoint failing joints before water gets under the stone.
What you seeGrass and weeds sprouting between pavers, sand piles from ants, and joints washing out.
Why it happensPlain sand in the joints, joints that were never fully filled, or polymeric sand that has worn away.
How we fix itWe clean out the joints, let them dry, sweep in fresh polymeric sand, compact and mist it so it hardens and locks the pavers.
How to prevent itKeep joints topped up, sweep debris off, and consider sealing every few years.
What you seeWater pools and freezes across the walk, creating a sheet of ice.
Why it happensA flat or back-pitched walk, or meltwater from roofs and snowbanks running across it.
How we fix itWe rebuild with a slight cross-pitch so water sheds off the walk and add drainage where roof runoff lands.
How to prevent itPitch every walk, and don’t pile snow uphill of the walkway.
Sunken pavers, loose bluestone and crumbling joints can often be repaired by rebuilding the base and resetting the surface. See patio repair.

Last month they did my backyard stoop, patio and walkway, and added a french drain to a sump pit in the yard. They did an amazing job! I highly recommend them for any paving and masonry work. Tom and crew are a pleasure to deal with.

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.

FAQ
Price depends on size, material, excavation, access and features like walls and steps. We provide free written quotes after a design visit.
Pavers offer more colors and are easy to repair, while bluestone gives a classic natural look. We bring samples of both.
Yes. We work throughout Edison Township and neighboring Metuchen, Piscataway, Woodbridge and South Plainfield.
Very little. Sweep, top up joint sand occasionally and, if you like, seal pavers every few years.
Yes. We extend patios in matching or complementary materials, or add a second level with steps or a seat wall.
Usually a thin or poorly compacted base, or water undermining it. The fix is to lift the pavers, rebuild the base in compacted lifts and reset them.
