Asphalt Overlay Services in New Jersey

How can an asphalt overlay extend the life of your driveway?

When your driveway or paved surface is worn down but structurally sound, an asphalt overlay can give it a second life—without the cost or disruption of a full replacement. It’s a process where a fresh layer of asphalt is applied over the existing surface, reinforcing it and restoring its appearance, function, and strength.

At A&S Paving, we help homeowners across Morris and Somerset Counties refresh their pavement with clean, durable overlays that look and perform like new. Whether you’re dealing with surface cracks, fading, or minor wear and tear, we’ll overlay your driveway the right way—saving you time, money, and stress.

When Should You Consider an Asphalt Overlay?

An overlay is ideal when your existing driveway still has a solid foundation but is starting to show its age. If you’re seeing widespread cracking, surface fading, or minor low spots—but no major structural failure—resurfacing may be the perfect middle ground.

You should also consider asphalt resurfacing if you want to boost curb appeal before selling your home, or if your current driveway just isn’t holding up well cosmetically. It’s a smart, cost-effective solution that brings back that smooth, black finish without a full tear-out. And for properties in New Jersey, it’s a great way to combat seasonal damage from freeze-thaw cycles without breaking the bank.

The Benefits of Doing It Professionally

A clean overlay isn’t just a matter of slapping new asphalt on top. Our team evaluates, preps, and applies each layer with care to ensure it bonds well and lasts longer.

Thorough surface inspection first

We assess the condition of your base asphalt to ensure it’s a candidate for resurfacing—not every driveway is a good fit.

Surface cleaning and prep work

We remove debris, fix shallow cracks, and level minor dips to ensure proper adhesion and a uniform final surface.

Seamless asphalt application

A new layer of hot asphalt is laid evenly across the surface, covering flaws and refreshing the structure beneath it.

Smoothed, compacted finish

We roll and compact the new overlay for a tight seal that improves curb appeal, surface texture, and durability.

Budget-friendly performance boost

An overlay driveway costs less than a full replacement and extends pavement life for years—especially in moderate wear scenarios.

Faster turnaround, less disruption

Most overlays are completed in just a day or two, so you’re back to using your driveway with minimal downtime.
