Driveway Contractor in Woodbridge, New Jersey
Edison Driveways provides driveway paving, replacement, resurfacing, repairs, concrete, pavers, aprons, belgian block curbing, and drainage for homeowners in Woodbridge, NJ.
Woodbridge Township covers 24.61 square miles and takes in Avenel, Colonia, Fords, Hopelawn, Iselin, Keasbey, Menlo Park Terrace, Port Reading, Sewaren, and Woodbridge proper. It also hosts the junction of the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway. Census estimates put the township’s median home at 1962, with 70 percent built before 1980, so a large share of its homes, and often their driveways, are more than sixty years old.
What Woodbridge driveways deal with
Sixty-year-old originals
With a 1962 median year built, many driveways here are past their service life. Replacement on a rebuilt base starts the clock over.
Settled, broken aprons
The apron takes the hardest turning loads on the property. A rebuilt apron gets a thicker section on a compacted base.
Right-of-way approval
Apron and curb work at the street commonly needs township approval. Ask the township first; the work follows its rules.

A township of older driveways
Per the Census estimates, 23 percent of Woodbridge housing was built in the 1950s and another 14 percent in the 1960s. Driveways from that era that are still in service tend to show the same late-life signs: alligatored surfaces over tired bases, edges crumbling into the lawn, and aprons that have settled at the street. When the base is done, full replacement on new compacted stone is the fix that resets the clock.
About 62 percent of township housing units are single-family detached homes and 66 percent are owner-occupied, with 1.8 vehicles per household. Aprons and curbs sit at the street, and work in the street right-of-way commonly needs municipal approval. Check with the township’s engineering or public works office before an apron job is scheduled, and we will build to what the township requires.
Replace or repair
Not every Woodbridge 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.
