Our core services

Hardscaping, driveway & walkway paving and concrete masonry

Three things we do every week across Central New Jersey — each one built on a properly excavated, compacted base that holds up to NJ winters.

Hardscaping

Patios, walls, steps, fire pits and outdoor kitchens — complete hardscapes, designed and built as one project.

  • Site visit, measurements and layout planned with you
  • Grading and drainage planned before anything is built
  • Excavation and a compacted stone base in lifts

Driveway & Walkway Paving

Paver, concrete and asphalt driveways, plus front walkways and sidewalks — from tear-out to final finish.

  • Tear-out and disposal of the old driveway or walk
  • Excavation and grading so water drains away from the house
  • Compacted stone base sized for cars or foot traffic

Concrete Masonry

Concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks and steps — poured, finished and jointed right.

  • Break-out and removal of old concrete
  • Excavation and a compacted stone base
  • Forms set to grade and pitched for drainage

How it works

Five steps, no surprises

Every job follows the same process, whether it's a front walk or a full backyard.

  1. Free estimate

    Manasses visits by appointment, measures and listens. You get a written estimate with the scope spelled out.

  2. Design & paver selection

    Shape, pattern, colors and borders. We mark the layout on site so you can see it before we dig.

  3. Excavation & base prep

    Soft soil out, stone base in, compacted in lifts and pitched for drainage. The part that decides how long it lasts.

  4. Install & compaction

    Pavers laid and cut clean, edge restraint set, plate-compacted and locked with polymeric sand.

  5. Final walkthrough

    We walk the finished job with you, go over care, and leave the site clean.

How much does a paver patio cost in NJ?

It depends on size, access, the paver line, borders, steps and how much soil has to come out, so we don’t quote from a price list. We look at your property and give you a free written estimate with the full scope spelled out.

Pavers vs. concrete vs. asphalt for my driveway?

Asphalt is the most economical and plows well, but needs sealing over time. Concrete gives a clean, bright surface with a long life when jointed and cured correctly. Pavers cost the most, look the most upscale and can be repaired one section at a time. We’ll compare all three for your home at the estimate.

How long does installation take?

It depends on the size of the project, the material and the weather. You get a schedule with your estimate, and we keep you posted if weather moves it.

Do I need an appointment for an estimate?

Yes, appointments are required. We offer estimates online, by phone or by email, whichever fits your schedule.
