Residential driveways are a key component to your homes property especially in communities such as Morristown, Basking Ridge, Floral park and surrounding areas. We take pride in our paving, concrete, masonry, paver work and we will review your homes property that the proper grade is obtained to support your new asphalt driveway or recondition your existing asphalt one. We will deploy the right asphalt paving equipment to fit your projects needs and take special precautions as to building the right drainage and providing smooth asphalt finished surface for your driveway area. Our asphalt pavement for residential blacktop driveways is second to none, adding value to your property. We only use the best asphalt, concrete and paver materials for our asphalt blacktop paving so it can last for many years with the proper maintenance and care.

The subgrade should be graded smooth, made free of organic materials, and weak spots undercut and replaced with suitable material. Proper drainage provisions along with the final crown and slopes need to be addressed and Reliable Paving will work with you to determine what will be the best grading and base solution. A base course of 6 to 8 inches of crushed aggregate is usually adequate. A properly constructed asphalt driveway using an appropriate mix design will require minimal maintenance. Providing proper drainage is essential to reducing your asphalt driveways maintenance costs.
Maintenance is generally divided into two categories, preventative maintenance and corrective maintenance. Preventive maintenance should be performed on a regular basis to remove vegetation, improve drainage, and resolve any unsafe conditions. Corrective maintenance is performed as needed to repair a specific pavement failure or distress areas. With Reliable Paving we eliminate the need for corrective maintenance.

Crack Sealing

Crack sealing is one of the most common asphalt maintenance methods of maintenance for asphalt pavement. It is a temporary method highly recommended for preventing moisture, oil, chemicals and vegetation from getting into the cracks and other surface voids. Reliable Paving of Central New Jesey will use the right tools and equipment to clean and dry the cracks and afterwards pour a hot-pour crack sealant.

Pothole Repairs

Just a small crack is all it takes. In New Jersey, potholes usually begin after an alligator crack is not repaired. Potholes get bigger and larger as traffic drives over the pothole and the vehicles break the pavement and soil from the area creating a larger hole. Potholes start after rain or snow gets below the road surface and moisture weakens the sub base or freezing surface. Potholes tend to occur more during the early New Jersey spring as temperature rises and falls into the freeze-thaw cycles.
Reliable Paving repairs potholes, by cutting and removing larger sections of the distressed pavement. Once the area is ready and the water is out, then an adhesive (tack) gets applied and asphalt is added in layers. The asphalt pavement is then added and compacted with a pavement roller. Our company has the right experience to repair potholes and work with the highest quality products to take care of pavement issues.

Asphalt Rejuvenation and Sealcoating

Pavement rejuvenation is a sealing process that softens the existing asphalt surface to heal minor cracking. The rejuvenation process is aimed at the preservation of the asphalt material and the restoration of its natural qualities, extending a pavement’s service life.
