Dumont Driveway Replaced With a Concrete Curb Transition That Lasts

The Problem
A Dumont homeowner needed the driveway replaced and specifically asked that the concrete curb transition at the street be done properly this time. The prior installation had used an asphalt-to-asphalt connection at the road edge that had chipped and deteriorated from plowing within a few winters. They’d gotten a referral from a neighbor in Bergenfield and were looking for the same level of quality.

What We Did
Full driveway removal. At the street connection, we installed a formed concrete curb transition before the asphalt apron — concrete at the road edge handles the plow contact and freeze-thaw stress that asphalt edges lose to over time. The transition was cured before the asphalt apron was placed against it, ensuring a proper bond at the interface. New full-depth driveway throughout.

The Outcome
The Bergenfield neighbor who made the referral came by after the project and said the curb transition work was the same detail that made their installation hold up so well. Dumont winters are rough on that street edge — the concrete transition is what protects it.

What the Client Said

“I specifically asked for the concrete curb detail at the street because asphalt edges don’t survive the plows up here. R&D did it exactly right — cured the concrete first, then brought the asphalt up to it. The finished connection looks permanent because it is.”
