Quick answer
Old Irish Paving & Masonry is a family-owned, licensed and insured paving and masonry contractor serving Whitehouse Station, 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 Whitehouse Station (Whitehouse Station, Whitehouse and the rest of Readington Township) is part of our regular service area. Whitehouse Station mixes village homes near the station with farm properties and larger subdivisions on generous lots across Readington Township.
Rural lots with long frontage, farm fields and clay soils mean long driveways and lanes that need a strong base and good drainage. 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 Whitehouse Station and nearby Hunterdon County: some are specific to local soils, terrain and housing, others are common across New Jersey.
What you seePotholes, ruts and washouts on long gravel or thin asphalt lanes.
Why it happensLong runs with farm equipment, delivery trucks and runoff from open fields.
How we fix itRegrade and crown, add culverts, build a heavier base and pave with sections sized for the vehicles.
How to prevent itKeep ditches and culverts clear.
What you seeDangerous backing out into fast traffic.
Why it happensDriveways built without turnarounds.
How we fix itAdd a paved turnaround or hammerhead so you can exit forward.
How to prevent itPlan turnarounds into any driveway replacement.
What you seePatios and walks that settle, and driveways that rut.
Why it happensHunterdon clay holding water.
How we fix itGeotextile fabric, deeper stone base and good drainage.
How to prevent itBuild up and pitch surfaces so water leaves quickly.
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 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 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: Long driveways and farm lanes are common around Whitehouse Station. We build them with a deeper stone base, a crown or cross-pitch to shed water, and turnarounds so you don’t back onto Route 22 or 523.
Masonry: Whitehouse Station projects include stone stoops, retaining walls, pillars and Belgian block curbing that suit the area’s rural character.
Outdoor living: Spacious bluestone and paver patios with fire pits are popular on Whitehouse Station’s larger properties.

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.

Asphalt and paver driveways, patios, walkways, stoops and steps, retaining walls, concrete, parking lots, repairs and sealcoating, basement waterproofing and foundation repair.
Yes. We grade, base and pave long driveways and farm lanes around Whitehouse Station and Readington, with drainage designed for open fields and heavy equipment.
Most asphalt driveways take 1–2 days. Paver driveways and patios usually take 3–7 days depending on size and design.
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.
