New Monmouth is a residential section of Middletown Township, in northern Monmouth County. It is not a borough or a township of its own but an unincorporated community with its own name and mailing address, sitting between the Route 35 corridor and the bayshore neighborhoods near Route 36. Dan The Paver installs and replaces asphalt driveways for New Monmouth homes and paves asphalt parking lots for nearby businesses, churches and associations.
Mid-century homes and wide streets
Much of New Monmouth was built out in the years after World War II, so the housing is largely ranches, split-levels, capes and colonials on quarter-acre to half-acre lots. New Monmouth Road runs through the area. Most homes have a two-car driveway, often a straight run to an attached garage, and some have been widened over the years with add-on strips that never quite matched the original.
When those older drives fail, they usually fail together: the surface turns brittle, the seam between the original drive and the widening opens up, and the apron at the street settles. Replacing the whole thing in one piece fixes all three at once.
Ground conditions
New Monmouth sits between the higher ground of central Middletown and the lower bayshore. Soils are a mix of sandy loam and heavier pockets that hold water after storms, and sloped lots are common. On these jobs we excavate below any soft or organic material, install a compacted aggregate base and set the final grade to carry water away from the house.
Shared parking nearby
Shopping centers and offices along Route 35 and Route 36, along with schools, houses of worship and swim clubs, provide most of the commercial pavement around New Monmouth. We repair and repave these lots, paying attention to drainage near entrances and catch basins.
We also serve nearby Belford and the rest of the Monmouth County service area.
New Monmouth paving questions
Is New Monmouth part of Middletown for driveway permits?
Yes. New Monmouth is a community inside Middletown Township, not a separate municipality, so the Middletown Township construction and zoning office handles questions about curb cuts, aprons and impervious coverage. Have your street address and block and lot number ready when you call, because the New Monmouth name alone will not identify your property.
Our split-level in New Monmouth has a driveway that slopes down toward the garage. How do you keep water out?
Drives that drop toward a garage are common in this part of Middletown. We grade the surface so most runoff drains to the side before it reaches the door, and we may add a slight rise or a shallow swale at the bottom. Rebuilding the base properly at the low end also stops the sinking that sends water toward the house.
