Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry is a family-owned, licensed and insured paving and masonry contractor serving Flanders, NJ (Morris 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 Morris County for more than three decades, and Flanders (Flanders and the surrounding Mount Olive neighborhoods) is part of our regular service area. Flanders has many 1980s–2000s single-family neighborhoods and townhouse communities, where driveways, walkways and stoops are now due for replacement.
Hilly terrain and glacial, rocky soils make drainage and base compaction the key to long-lasting paving in Flanders. 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.
Key facts

What you seeChunks of asphalt are pushed onto the lawn every winter, and the edges get rougher each year.

How we fix itWe rebuild the edges on a wider base and install Belgian block curbing as a solid, plow-resistant border.

What you seeThe patio is too hot to walk on barefoot, or slick when wet.
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.

Driveways: Many Flanders driveways are original to the house and showing alligator cracking and sunken edges. Replacing them with a properly compacted base, and widening where families now have more cars, is our most common Flanders job.
Masonry: Flanders homeowners call us for front stoops and steps that have settled, retaining walls on sloped lots, and paver walkways that tie into the driveway.
Outdoor living: Paver patios with seat walls and steps are popular for Flanders’ sloping back yards.
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.

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.

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.

FAQ
Yes. We visit your Flanders 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 boards and property managers for driveway, roadway, parking area, walkway and stoop projects.
Most asphalt driveways take 1–2 days. Paver driveways and patios usually take 3–7 days depending on size and design.
Usually not permanently. The separation means the stoop has no proper footing. Rebuilding on a footing below frost depth is the lasting fix.
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.
