Asphalt Paving in Bay Head, NJ

Asphalt paving in Bay Head fits around history. The borough, incorporated in 1886 from Brick Township, is home to the Bay Head Historic District, listed in 2005 with more than 550 contributing structures, more than half the buildings in town. Shingle, Stick and Queen Anne houses line the streets. The 2020 census counted 930 residents.

Modest, well-built driveways

Owners of historic shore homes generally want a driveway that does not call attention to itself: narrow, neat, with crisp edges and transitions. We keep layouts modest and can use Belgian block or other borders where they suit the house.

The buried seawall

A stone seawall built in 1882 had been buried under the dunes and largely forgotten until Hurricane Sandy, when it helped reduce damage to the town. Bay Head still sits on sand at the ocean's edge, with a high water table. Driveways need a confined, compacted base and a slope to the street.

Seasonal schedule

Many homes are second homes. Work is easiest to schedule outside the summer, and sealcoating fits best in late spring and early fall.

Roads

Route 35, a two-lane highway, is the main road. The borough maintains about 8 of its 10.7 miles of road.

Sand in, sand out

Coastal wind blows sand across driveways in Bay Head, and storms bring more. A sealed surface sheds sand more easily and resists abrasion. After a storm, sweeping sand off promptly keeps it from grinding the surface.

Under-house and side parking

Some homes in town have been raised, with parking moved under or beside the house. We pave those areas where there is clearance and drainage.

Owners away

For owners who are not in town, we schedule work, send photos and leave the property clean.
