Paver & Concrete Contractor in Piscataway, NJ
Piscataway sits on the clay and shale of New Jersey's Piedmont, which is why so many older patios and driveways here have heaved. We build ours from the base up.
Piscataway is a large township in northern Middlesex County, home to Rutgers’ Busch and Livingston campuses and a wide range of neighborhoods, from post-war streets to newer developments.
The ground here is different from the sandy towns closer to the shore. Piscataway sits in the Piedmont, where reddish clay over shale is common. Clay drains slowly and swells when it freezes, so building on it takes:
- excavation below the soft, wet layer;
- a stone base compacted in lifts;
- grading and drainage planned before the first paver or pour.
Popular Piscataway projects include driveway replacements in concrete or pavers, backyard paver patios, front walkways and steps, and retaining walls on sloped lots.

Questions from Piscataway homeowners
Why do driveways and patios heave in Piscataway?
Clay holds water, and water that freezes under a slab pushes it up. We excavate the soft layer, build a compacted stone base and grade the surface so water drains away.
Do you work near the Rutgers campuses?
Yes. We work in neighborhoods across Piscataway, including the residential streets around the Busch and Livingston campuses.
