Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry is a family-owned, licensed and insured paving and masonry contractor serving Randolph, 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 Randolph (Randolph Township’s neighborhoods) is part of our regular service area. Randolph has many 1970s–1990s colonials and split-levels on hilly lots, with driveways, stoops and walkways now due for replacement.
Hills and rocky glacial soils mean drainage and compaction are critical in Randolph. 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 Randolph and nearby Morris County: some are specific to local soils, terrain and housing, others are common across New Jersey.
What you seeWater at the garage door every storm.
Why it happensHilly lots.
How we fix itTrench drains, regrading and edge protection.
How to prevent itKeep drains clear.
What you seeErosion and unusable slopes.
Why it happensHilly terrain.
How we fix itRetaining walls and terraced patios.
How to prevent itDrainage behind walls.
What you seeSettled stoops and cracked walks on 1970s–90s homes.
Why it happensAge and missing footings.
How we fix itRebuild stoops on footings and replace walks.
How to prevent itPitch landings away from doors.
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 seeBluestone or brick treads rock when stepped on, and caps have popped off.
Why it happensFailed mortar bed, water freezing beneath the tread, and salt damage.
How we fix itWe lift the treads, clean and rebuild the mortar bed, reset them level with a slight forward pitch, and repoint the joints.
How to prevent itRepoint failing joints early and pitch treads so water runs off.
What you seeThe table barely fits, chairs fall off the edge, and there’s no room for a grill or fire pit.
Why it happensPatios are often sized to the house or to a budget rather than to how the family actually uses them.
How we fix itWe extend in matching or complementary materials, add a second zone with steps, or redesign with seat walls to add seating without crowding.
How to prevent itSize for use: about 12×12 ft for a six-person dining set, plus room for walking and a grill.
Driveways: Sloped Randolph driveways benefit from proper pitch, trench drains at garages and Belgian block edging to stop erosion.
Masonry: Retaining walls for hillside back yards, stoops and paver walkways are typical Randolph masonry projects.
Outdoor living: Multi-level patios with walls and steps suit Randolph’s sloping 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.

Reviews
★★★★★
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.

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.

Asphalt and paver driveways, patios, walkways, stoops and steps, retaining walls, concrete, parking lots, repairs and sealcoating, basement waterproofing and foundation repair.
Yes. We build segmental block and natural stone retaining walls with drainage stone, perforated pipe and geogrid where needed.
Most asphalt driveways take 1–2 days. Paver driveways and patios usually take 3–7 days depending on size and design.
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.
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.
