Paving & repair

What is the difference between asphalt paving and milling?
Paving refers to installing a new asphalt surface, whereas milling involves removing the top layer of asphalt for resurfacing projects without tearing up the full base.
How often should I seal coat my driveway?
Ideally, every 2-3 years, to protect your surface from water, oil, sun, and weather damage.
Do you provide maintenance services for parking lots?
Our parking lot maintenance plan includes crack filling, seal coating, and line striping.
What’s the difference between sealcoating and paving?
Paving refers to the installation of new asphalt on a surface, whereas seal coating is a protectant applied over an asphalt surface to shield it against UV rays, weather, and wear.
Can you repave an existing asphalt surface?
That’s amongst our expertise. We can overlay a fresh layer of asphalt to restore appearance, safety, and functionality if the surface is structurally sound.
What is the difference between asphalt resurfacing and replacement?
Resurfacing adds a new asphalt surface over a pavement structure that is still in suitable condition. Replacement involves removing failing pavement and rebuilding the area when more extensive deterioration is present.
Can you repair cracks and potholes without replacing the entire pavement?
In many situations, yes. Localized crack filling, patching, or resurfacing may restore the pavement when the underlying structure is still in reasonable condition.
Does Black Diamond Paving offer asphalt maintenance services?
Yes. Maintenance options include sealcoating, crack filling, repairs, resurfacing, and other services designed to protect existing pavement.

Site work & permits

Why is proper drainage important for asphalt paving?
There’s a risk of water seeping under your pavement and causing cracks and premature failure. Proper grading and drainage are essential to maintain the longevity of your asphalt surface.
Do you offer septic tank repair services?
Absolutely. We can get your septic systems up and running with industry-compliant solutions.
What’s involved in land clearing?
We will remove trees and stumps, along with grading and soil preparation to create a firm, stable base before we start paving.
Do I need a permit for paving in New Jersey?
Most likely. Some minor paving projects may be exempted, but you may need a formal permit or Permit by Request (P.B.R) for road or driveway construction and repair.
What asphalt paving services does Black Diamond Paving offer?
Black Diamond Paving provides asphalt driveway paving, parking lot paving, resurfacing, milling, crack repair, sealcoating, line striping, drainage work, and other paving and construction services.
Why is proper drainage important for asphalt pavement?
Standing water can penetrate vulnerable areas, contribute to erosion, and accelerate pavement deterioration. Proper grading and drainage help move water away from the paved surface.
