Asphalt Paving in Island Heights, NJ

Asphalt paving in Island Heights works around history and slope. The borough began in 1878 as a Methodist camp meeting ground, was incorporated in 1887 and sits on a steep bluff rising about 60 feet above the Toms River. The Island Heights Historic District covers about 280 acres with 244 contributing buildings and was added to the National Register in 1980. It had 1,650 residents in 2020.

Sloped driveways

On the bluff, many driveways climb or drop to the street. Steep driveways need careful compaction, a surface that gives tires grip and a plan for where water goes at the bottom. Runoff down a bluff can wash out edges and undercut the base quickly.

Historic homes

Queen Anne houses and camp-meeting-era cottages fill the historic district. Owners usually want driveways that are simple, narrow and in keeping with the house. We keep footprints modest, edges crisp and transitions neat, and can use Belgian block borders where they suit the property.

Small lots

Camp-meeting lots were small, and driveways squeeze between houses and old trees. Smaller equipment and careful staging protect walls, walks and roots.

Riverfront and bluff top

Homes along River Avenue and the waterfront sit lower than those on the bluff and stay damper. Their driveways need firm bases and good drainage, while bluff-top homes need slope and washout control.

Working on narrow streets

The borough's streets are narrow and lined with mature trees and old homes. We bring smaller equipment, stage carefully and protect walls, walks and roots.
