Edison Driveways provides driveway paving, replacement, resurfacing, repairs, concrete, pavers, aprons, belgian block curbing, and drainage for homeowners in Fords, NJ.
Fords is a 1.89-square-mile community in the southwest part of Woodbridge Township, once known as “Fords Corner.” The New Jersey Turnpike crosses the middle of it, the Garden State Parkway forms much of its eastern border, and U.S. Route 1 crosses its northern part. Its housing is among the oldest in the area: Census estimates put the median Fords home at 1957, with 84 percent built before 1980.
What Fords driveways deal with
Heavy-vehicle wheel paths
Vans and pickups rut thin asphalt. A heavier course over a deeper base where vehicles stand ends the cycle.
Turning-area breakup
Tight turns onto the pad shear weak surfaces. Reinforced sections at those points take the abuse.
Decades-old bases
With a 1957 median year built, many Fords driveways sit on old bases. Rebuilding the base is what makes new asphalt last.

Tell us about the driveway and we will set a time to come look at it. Estimates are written and itemized.
Driveways that carry real loads
If a pickup or a loaded work van parks on the driveway, it puts more weight on the pavement than a sedan, and thin passenger-car asphalt ruts in the wheel paths. Driveways that carry that kind of traffic get specced for it: a thicker asphalt course, a deeper base where vehicles stand, and turning areas reinforced where the load concentrates. It costs more once and avoids repaving a section that was built too thin.
Fords households average 1.9 vehicles, per the Census estimates, and 72 percent of homes are owner-occupied. When the driveway is needed for work, the job can be staged, with half-width sequencing where the layout allows and clear cure times stated up front, so you know when the vehicles can go back on it.
Replace or repair
Not every Fords driveway needs to come out. If the base is still solid and the problem is on the surface, an overlay or a patch is the right money. If the driveway is sinking, webbed with cracks, or holding water, new surface over a bad base will fail in the same places.
We will tell you which one you are looking at when we come out, and put the reasoning in writing. Read more on driveway replacement and what it includes.
