From the Bay to the Pines

Asphalt paving in Berkeley Township stretches from bayfront Bayville to the edge of the Pine Barrens. About 72 percent of Berkeley's land lies within the federally designated Pinelands National Reserve, and about 38 percent within the state's Pinelands Area. Most homes are east of the Garden State Parkway in Bayville, Holiday City and Silver Ridge, while the west is mostly pine forest.

Growth in the 1980s

Berkeley grew 61 percent between 1980 and 1990, from 23,151 to 37,319 residents, and reached 43,754 in 2020. Housing from that period, including much of the age-restricted Holiday City and Silver Ridge Park, is now thirty-five to forty-five years old. Driveways that age need either a careful overlay or full replacement, depending on the base.

Holiday City and Silver Ridge

Holiday City-Silver Ridge Park is a set of age-restricted planned communities, each with its own homeowners association. Residents in those communities regularly ask neighbors who to call for driveways. We work within each association's rules and can schedule several homes on a street together.

Bayville and the bay

Bayville homes near Barnegat Bay and the creeks sit on lower, wetter ground. Driveways there need a base that stays firm when the ground is damp and a slope that drains toward the street.

Township roads

Berkeley had about 266 miles of roads in 2010, about 221 of them township-maintained. US 9 runs through the eastern-middle part of the township and the Parkway has exits 77 and 80. For aprons on US 9, NJDOT controls the right-of-way.

Pinelands-edge lots

Homes near the western edge of development in Berkeley sit on pure Pine Barrens sand. Sand drains well, so standing water is rarely the issue; the problem is sand spreading out from under the edges and the tire paths. A thicker, well-compacted base and firm edges keep the driveway from sagging.

Summer traffic

Route 9 and the roads toward Island Beach State Park carry heavy summer traffic. Homes and businesses on those roads are easier to work on in spring and fall.

Berkeley Questions

Do you pave in Holiday City?

Yes, within each association's rules, and we can group homes on a street.

Does the Pinelands affect my Bayville driveway?

Most Bayville homes are east of the Parkway, where a like-for-like driveway replacement is routine. We check if you are adding new paved area in the Pinelands Area.

Who controls the apron on Route 9?

US 9 is a state highway, so NJDOT controls its right-of-way.

Why does my driveway sag in the tire tracks?

On sand, a thin base spreads under load. Replacing it with a thicker, compacted base fixes it.
