Asphalt Paving in Barnegat, NJ

Asphalt paving in Barnegat covers a township that has grown quickly and recently. Barnegat had 15,270 residents in 2000, 20,936 in 2010 and 24,296 in 2020, the highest count in its history. Much of that growth came in subdivisions off Route 72 and the Parkway, where driveways are mostly in their first twenty years.

Younger driveways

For driveways under twenty years old, maintenance is what matters: crack sealing before winter, edge support where lawns meet the asphalt, and a sealcoat once the surface fades. Builder driveways laid on a thin base sometimes crack early at the garage and apron; those spots can be cut out and rebuilt before sealing.

Older bayside homes

East of Route 9, closer to the bay, older homes sit on lower ground. Their driveways have been patched and sealed for decades. Those may need a deeper base and replacement rather than another overlay.

Roads

The Parkway runs north to south near the center of the township, US 9 toward the east and Route 72 and County Route 539 serve the west. About 85 of the township's 121 miles of roads were municipal as of 2010. Work at an apron on US 9 or Route 72 goes through NJDOT.

Sandy soils

Like much of southern Ocean County, Barnegat sits on sandy ground at the edge of the Pine Barrens. A compacted, confined base keeps sand from spreading under the edges.

Ocean Acres edge

Part of the Ocean Acres community extends into Barnegat from Stafford Township. Like the rest of western Barnegat, it sits on sandy Pine Barrens soil with pitch pines and oaks. Driveways there need confined edges and a compacted base, and roots from the pines can lift edges over time.

Snow and plows

Barnegat's winters bring plowing and salt. Edges and aprons take the most damage. Supporting edges with compacted backfill, or Belgian block, cuts down on plow damage.
