Asphalt Paving in Lakehurst, NJ

Asphalt paving in Lakehurst serves a small, self-contained borough. Lakehurst covers just under a square mile and is entirely surrounded by Manchester Township, one of New Jersey's 21 doughnut-town pairs. The 2020 census counted 2,636 residents and 979 housing units. Next door, in Manchester, is the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, where the Hindenburg caught fire in 1937.

Older homes

Most of Lakehurst's homes have stood for decades, and their driveways have been patched and overlaid. Where cracks keep coming back or edges have sunk into the sand, full replacement on a confined, compacted base is the lasting fix. Where the base is still firm, crack sealing and a sealcoat keep it going.

Lake Horicon

The borough's Lake Horicon is a stream-fed cedar water lake that shows up on maps as far back as 1912. Homes near the lake sit on lower, damper ground and need driveways that drain well.

Sandy Pine Barrens soil

Lakehurst is in the heart of the Pine Barrens region, on sandy, fast-draining soil. Sand handles water well but spreads under thin bases. Edge support is the most common repair we see.

Route 70

Route 70 is the main highway through the borough and meets the western end of Route 37 here. Aprons on Route 70 fall under NJDOT.

Small-town scheduling

With fewer than a thousand homes, Lakehurst jobs are often grouped with work in neighboring Manchester. Neighbors who want sealing or repairs at the same time can save on setup costs.

Near the lake

Homes around Lake Horicon sit on cedar-water ground that stays damp. A deeper base and a surface that drains to the street keep those driveways firm.

Winter

Plows and salt on Route 70 and borough streets clip aprons and edges. Supported edges and early crack sealing help driveways get through winter.
