Highland Park is a 1.83-square-mile borough on the northern bank of the Raritan River, overlooking New Brunswick, formed in 1905 from what was then Raritan Township. Its housing is older and more varied than most of the county’s: Census estimates put the median year built at 1962, with 73 percent built before 1980, and only 32 percent of units are single-family detached homes.
What Highland Park driveways deal with
Shared-driveway decisions
Two owners, one surface. Document the line, split the scope fairly, and build a joint that holds.
Narrow runs beside the house
Older strips rebuilt full-length, with the side-yard drainage question answered properly.
Right-of-way approval
Apron and curb work at the street commonly needs borough approval. Check with the borough first.
What we do in Highland Park
Driveway estimates in Highland Park
Tell us about the driveway and we will set a time to come look at it. Estimates are written and itemized.
Owners, landlords, and narrow lots
Forty percent of Highland Park homes are owner-occupied, per the Census estimates, so the person deciding on a driveway is often a property owner rather than the person who parks on it. Landlords get a written scope, durable surfaces, and an invoice for the property file. Where two lots share one strip of pavement, the line and the split of the work get written down before anything is torn up.
Households here average 1.5 vehicles, fewer than the county’s 1.8, but older lots often mean narrow runs beside the house. Rebuilds go the full length on a new compacted base, with attention to side-yard drainage so a narrow strip between houses stops channeling storm water toward a foundation. Apron and curb work at the street commonly needs municipal approval, so check with the borough first.
Replace or repair
Not every Highland Park 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.
