Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry installs, replaces, widens and repairs driveways in Whitehouse Station, NJ, in asphalt, interlocking pavers, concrete and Belgian block. Every driveway is built on excavated, compacted stone base with drainage set away from your garage and home. Most asphalt driveways are completed in 1–2 days.
Long driveways and farm lanes are common around Whitehouse Station. We build them with a deeper stone base, a crown or cross-pitch to shed water, and turnarounds so you don’t back onto Route 22 or 523.
Rural lots with long frontage, farm fields and clay soils mean long driveways and lanes that need a strong base and good drainage. That’s why every driveway we build starts with removing the old surface and soft soil, then installing and compacting a new stone base before a single inch of asphalt or paver goes down.
Key facts
Problems we solve
These are the issues we’re called about most in Whitehouse Station and nearby Hunterdon County: some are specific to local soils, terrain and housing, others are common across New Jersey.
What you seePotholes, ruts and washouts on long gravel or thin asphalt lanes.
Why it happensLong runs with farm equipment, delivery trucks and runoff from open fields.
How we fix itRegrade and crown, add culverts, build a heavier base and pave with sections sized for the vehicles.
How to prevent itKeep ditches and culverts clear.
What you seeDangerous backing out into fast traffic.
Why it happensDriveways built without turnarounds.
How we fix itAdd a paved turnaround or hammerhead so you can exit forward.
How to prevent itPlan turnarounds into any driveway replacement.
What you seePatios and walks that settle, and driveways that rut.
Why it happensHunterdon clay holding water.
How we fix itGeotextile fabric, deeper stone base and good drainage.
How to prevent itBuild up and pitch surfaces so water leaves quickly.
What you seeSlabs have cracked, lifted at the joints, or the surface is flaking off in patches.
Why it happensFreeze-thaw, road salt, tree roots, a weak base or concrete poured without air entrainment and proper control joints.
How we fix itIsolated slabs can be removed and repoured. If the whole driveway is scaling or heaving, replacing it with new concrete, asphalt or pavers on a properly built base is the lasting fix.
How to prevent itAvoid rock salt and ammonium-based de-icers, and seal concrete every few years.
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 seeGaps opening up between pavers, borders drifting into the lawn, cut pieces loosening.
Why it happensMissing or failed edge restraint. Without it, traffic pushes the paver field outward.
How we fix itWe reset the border on a compacted base and install a proper concrete or spiked edge restraint, then re-tighten and re-sand the field.
How to prevent itEdge restraint is non-negotiable on every paver job. Ask how it will be installed.
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.
Isolated cracks, small potholes and faded asphalt are usually fixed with crack filling, patching and sealcoat. Widespread alligator cracking, sunken tire tracks, broken edges and standing water mean the base has failed, and replacement is the better value. We’ll walk the driveway with you and explain what we see.

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
Most asphalt driveways take 1–2 days. Paver driveways take about 3–7 days, and concrete takes 3–5 days plus about a week of curing.
Often yes. Many New Jersey towns, Whitehouse Station included, regulate driveway width, curb cuts and work in the road right-of-way. We’ll confirm what’s needed.
Yes. We grade, base and pave long driveways and farm lanes around Whitehouse Station and Readington, with drainage designed for open fields and heavy equipment.
Yes. Belgian block curbing and aprons can be added to new or existing driveways.
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.
