Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry is a family-owned, licensed and insured paving and masonry contractor serving Bedminster, NJ (Somerset 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 Somerset County for more than three decades, and Bedminster (Pluckemin, The Hills and Bedminster’s estate and farm properties) is part of our regular service area. Bedminster ranges from townhouse communities at The Hills to horse farms and estate homes with long private drives.
Rolling Somerset Hills terrain means long drives, slopes and runoff to manage. 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 to prevent itPlan for the cars you’ll own in ten years, not the ones you have today.
What you seeRailings that move when you lean on them, with rust stains around the posts.

What you seeRainwater runs back to the foundation, the door threshold or the basement window wells.

How to prevent itMake pitch and drainage part of the design conversation before anything is built.
Driveways: Bedminster estate drives get Belgian block curbing, paver motor courts and asphalt built on deep bases, while townhouse communities need consistent, durable paving.
Masonry: Stone walls, pillars, steps and stoops in natural stone suit Bedminster’s countryside character.
Outdoor living: Bluestone terraces and natural stone patios are popular on Bedminster estates.
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.

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!

My sister hired Old Irish for cellar stairs and basement wall work. They arrived early, never left until 5 or after, and always cleaned up. They also told her about leakage inside her foundation and did a great job fixing it.

FAQ
Yes. We visit your Bedminster property, measure and discuss options, then give you a written, no-obligation quote. Call (908) 992-2345 to book.
Asphalt and paver driveways, patios, walkways, stoops and steps, retaining walls, concrete, parking lots, repairs and sealcoating, basement waterproofing and foundation repair.
Yes. We provide written proposals for HOA and condominium boards and can phase work to keep residents’ access open.
Most asphalt driveways take 1–2 days. Paver driveways and patios usually take 3–7 days depending on size and design.
Water gets under the tread, freezes and breaks the mortar bed. Resetting on a fresh bed with a slight forward pitch and good joints solves it.
The patio was built flat or has settled near the foundation. Rebuilding with a pitch of about 1/8–1/4 inch per foot away from the house fixes it.
