Maywood, NJ Case Study

Maywood Driveway — Apron Drainage Fixed, Base Replaced, Done Before Winter

The Problem
A Maywood homeowner near the Passaic River corridor called R&D Paving based on a recommendation from a brother-in-law in Garfield. The driveway was ready for replacement — soft spot at the lower end near the street, cracked surface throughout. They had one requirement: done before the first NJ freeze.

What We Did
The soft spot came from two things working together: the elevated water table that comes with living near the river, and an apron grade that let water pool and infiltrate rather than drain to the street. We corrected the apron slope first, then excavated and replaced the aggregate at the saturated base zone. Full-depth asphalt on the corrected foundation, sealed after cure. Given the higher ambient moisture near the river, we recommended a two-year rather than three-year resealing interval.

The Outcome
Done with a week to spare before the first hard freeze. The soft spot hasn’t returned through one very wet spring. The homeowner’s brother-in-law in Garfield checked in after and confirmed the quality matched what he’d gotten from R&D. Referral earned.

What the Client Said

“My brother-in-law in Garfield sent me to R&D and they delivered exactly what he told me to expect. Fixed the drainage at the apron, replaced the wet base properly, done before winter. His recommendation was well placed.”
