Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry provides residential paving in Long Valley, 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.
Long Valley homes sit on large lots, many on Schooley’s Mountain, with long, steep driveways, well water and septic systems.
Steep Long Valley driveways need asphalt that’s compacted well on grades and drainage that stops water from running down the drive. We add swales, culverts and Belgian block where needed.

I met with the owner Thomas, who gave me ideas and choices for the look I was trying to envision. The crew tore up my old cracked concrete patio and sidewalk and installed gorgeous new pavers. They did the work promptly and professionally and cleaned up well after the jobsite.

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.
