Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry is a family-owned, licensed and insured paving and masonry contractor serving Flemington, NJ (Hunterdon 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 Hunterdon County for more than three decades, and Flemington (Flemington Borough and surrounding Raritan Township) is part of our regular service area. Flemington’s historic borough has Victorian and early 20th-century homes with brick walks and stoops, while surrounding Raritan Township has larger lots and newer subdivisions.
Hunterdon County’s clay-heavy soils drain slowly, so we pay extra attention to base depth, fabric and drainage on every Flemington project. 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
Problems we solve
These are the issues we’re called about most in Flemington and nearby Hunterdon County: some are specific to local soils, terrain and housing, others are common across New Jersey.
What you seeSoft, sticky subsoil, settling pavers and puddles that linger.
Why it happensClay-heavy soils hold water and lose strength when wet.
How we fix itDeeper excavation, geotextile fabric and a thicker compacted stone base on every paving job.
How to prevent itKeep surface water moving off and away from paved areas.
What you seeHeaved brick walks and crumbling stoops on Victorian-era homes.
Why it happensAge, roots and soft historic brick.
How we fix itWe rebuild walks on a proper base, reuse sound brick and match replacement units.
How to prevent itRepoint before water gets in.
What you seePotholes and worn surfaces in high-traffic retail and office lots.
Why it happensConstant turning traffic and trucks.
How we fix itFull-depth patching, mill and overlay, and re-striping, phased around business hours.
How to prevent itScheduled crack sealing and sealcoating.
What you seeWater pools at the garage door or seeps under it after storms.
Why it happensThe driveway slopes toward the house, has settled near the slab, or there’s simply nowhere for water from a sloped driveway to go.
How we fix itWe regrade the base so water runs away from the house, or install a trench drain across the driveway in front of the garage, piped to daylight or a dry well.
How to prevent itKeep the joint between the driveway and garage slab sealed, and keep downspouts discharging away from the driveway.
What you seeRailings that move when you lean on them, with rust stains around the posts.
Why it happensWater entering the post holes, rusting the steel and cracking the masonry.
How we fix itWe reset or replace the railings, core-drill fresh holes and seal them so water can’t get in.
How to prevent itKeep posts sealed and painted.
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.
Driveways: In the borough, driveways are often narrow and shared with older brick or stone walls. In Raritan Township, we install wider asphalt and paver driveways with Belgian block borders and extra parking pads.
Masonry: Flemington’s older homes need sympathetic repair: matched brick, repointed joints and restored stoops. Newer homes nearby get new stone stoops, walls and patio masonry.
Outdoor living: Bluestone patios and paver patios with seat walls suit Flemington’s mix of historic and newer homes.

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
Yes. We visit your Flemington 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 work throughout Flemington Borough and Raritan Township, along with Readington, Clinton and the rest of Hunterdon County.
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.
