Asphalt Paving in Seaside Park, NJ

Asphalt paving in Seaside Park deals with life on a barrier island. The borough, incorporated in 1898, sits between Barnegat Bay and the ocean, with Route 35 running south to Island Beach State Park. During Hurricane Sandy, parts of town were under 4.4 feet of floodwater, and many homes have since been raised or rebuilt. The 2020 census counted 1,436 year-round residents.

Raised and rebuilt homes

When a home is lifted, the driveway usually has to change too: a new slope to reach parking under or beside the house, new edges, and often new paving under the structure. We plan grades, drainage and transitions so the driveway works with the new house.

Sand and groundwater

Barrier island soil is beach sand, and the water table is close. A driveway needs a confined, compacted base and a surface that sheds water to the street. Edges must be supported or the sand under them washes away.

Summer homes

Many properties are second homes or rentals. Work is easiest to schedule from fall to spring, and sealcoating fits best in late spring and early fall.

Roads

The borough maintains about 11 of its 17 miles of road, with Ocean County and NJDOT handling the rest. Route 35 is the main road on and off the island.

Island Beach traffic

Route 35 carries traffic south to Island Beach State Park all summer. Homes and businesses on Route 35 see more apron wear, and work there falls under NJDOT. Interior streets are quieter and easier to schedule.

Under-house parking

For homes on pilings, paving under the house keeps sand from being tracked in and gives a clean parking surface. We need enough clearance for equipment and a way for water to drain.

Sand control

Wind blows sand onto island driveways. A sealed, smooth surface is easier to sweep and resists sand abrasion better than worn, open asphalt.
