Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry provides residential paving in Edison, NJ: asphalt and paver driveways, patios, walkways, stoops and steps, Belgian block and repairs. We’re family-owned, licensed and insured with 30+ years of experience, and we offer free on-site estimates.
Edison combines dense post-war neighborhoods with larger homes in North Edison and a huge commercial base along Route 1, Oak Tree Road and Raritan Center.
Edison driveways are often tight, with cars parked bumper to bumper, so widening and adding parking pads is a common request, along with replacing old cracked concrete.
Key facts
Problems we solve

What you seePuddles on driveways and patios, and water toward garages.
Why it happensVery flat terrain and clay soils.
How we fix itPrecise grading to the street or drains, and trench drains or dry wells where needed.
How to prevent itConfirm the drainage plan before paving.
What you seeMore cars than driveway space.

How we fix itPatch, mill and overlay, re-stripe, and maintenance plans.
How to prevent itCrack seal regularly.
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 seeWater pools and freezes across the walk, creating a sheet of ice.
Why it happensA flat or back-pitched walk, or meltwater from roofs and snowbanks running across it.
How we fix itWe rebuild with a slight cross-pitch so water sheds off the walk and add drainage where roof runoff lands.
How to prevent itPitch every walk, and don’t pile snow uphill of the walkway.
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.
Paver patios that create usable outdoor space on suburban lots are very popular in Edison. We bring samples, discuss how you use the space and suggest layouts that suit your home and budget, so the driveway, walkway and steps look like one design.

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.

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.
