Asphalt Paving in Manchester, NJ

Asphalt paving in Manchester is shaped by the township's adult communities. Manchester grew from 7,550 residents in 1970 to 27,987 in 1980, a 271 percent jump, as communities like Crestwood Village, Leisure Village West, Leisure Knoll, Cedar Glen Lakes and Pine Ridge at Crestwood went up. Residents 65 and older made up 54.5 percent of the population in 2000 and 50.2 percent in 2010. The unincorporated Whiting area alone holds about 33,000 of the township's 45,115 residents.

Driveways in adult communities

In many of these communities, the driveway is the homeowner's responsibility, but the association sets rules on timing, color, edging and contractors. Some associations seal or repave whole streets on a schedule. We work with the association's rules, provide written scopes for approval and give residents clear notice of when to move cars.

Safe surfaces for older residents

For older residents, a driveway that is smooth, without trip edges at the walk or the garage, and that sheds water so it does not freeze in puddles, is a safety matter. Settled spots and heaved edges are worth repairing even if the rest of the driveway is fine.

Sandy soil

Manchester sits in the Pine Barrens region, on sandy, fast-draining ground. Sand is forgiving for drainage but unforgiving if the base is thin; driveways spread and sag at the edges. We confine and compact the base and support the edges.

Lakehurst and the base

The township surrounds the borough of Lakehurst and contains the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, where the Hindenburg burned in 1937. Route 70 runs through the heart of Manchester and Route 37 through its east side.

Community lots

Clubhouses, pools and community centers in Manchester's adult communities have lots that see steady daytime use and need clear accessible parking near the doors. We phase repairs around activity schedules, rebuild trip edges at walkways and restripe with accessible spaces laid out to the 2010 ADA Standards.

Snow and ice

Manchester residents depend on clear, safe driveways in winter. Low spots that hold water become ice patches. Fixing settlement and grading the surface so it drains is a safety improvement as much as a cosmetic one.
