Who we are
Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry is a family-owned and operated paving and masonry company serving New Jersey for more than three decades. Owner Tom works alongside his son and a dedicated, experienced crew. The company is fully licensed and insured, guarantees all work, and earns most of its business through referrals.
Old Irish Paving & Masonry started with a simple idea: do the job the right way, treat every property like your own, and customers will send their friends and family. Three decades later, that’s still how we work.
Our expertise covers the full range of paving and masonry, from asphalt to natural stone, and we bring careful craftsmanship and good design to both homes and commercial properties. We take pride in work that adds character and real, lasting value.
Key facts
Choosing a qualified, licensed contractor is the most important decision for the life of your driveway or patio. We put clients first: listening to what you want, offering ideas and honest advice, and getting it right the first time so you aren’t paying for repeat repairs.
We combine decades of hands-on knowledge with modern equipment and premium materials from respected manufacturers. Customers regularly tell us they appreciate that the crew arrives on time, works hard all day and leaves the site clean.
Our process
Tom or a family member walks the property, measures, checks drainage and talks through materials and budget.
You get a clear, itemised quote covering excavation, base depth, materials, finish and clean-up. No pressure.
Our own crew excavates, builds the compacted base and installs the surface using quality materials.
We clean up, walk the finished job with you, explain aftercare and stand behind the work.
Fully licensed and insured · all work guaranteed · family owned and operated · free design advice and estimates.

Most of our customers don’t call with a project. They call with a problem: water in the garage, a stoop pulling away from the house, a patio that sinks, a driveway that cracks every winter, a wet basement. Thirty years of fixing those problems taught us that the visible damage is rarely the cause. Our job is to find the cause and fix it, so you don’t pay for the same repair twice.

We just had our driveway and front walkway paved and outlined in Belgian block by Old Irish. The company handled the project with very good expertise and experience. The crew was hardworking and went the extra mile, ensuring we were satisfied with the project details from start to finish.

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.

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.

FAQ
The company is family-owned and run by owner Tom, who works alongside his son and an experienced crew.
Our family has over 30 years of paving and masonry experience in New Jersey.
Our own crew performs our paving and masonry work, with the owner closely involved.
Regrade the driveway so it pitches away from the garage, or install a trench drain across the driveway in front of the door, piped to a dry well or daylight.
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.
