Professional Petro Matting in NJ

Driveway Seal Coating

Hicks Paving knows how important a strong and seamless job is to our customers, and our large number of dependable trucks ensures an uninterrupted pour of asphalt contributing to a level of strength and appearance that our competition simply cannot match.

Petro Matting NJPetro Matting is a layer that is installed with a tar adhesive to allow new material to adhere to existing pavement, preventing existing cracks from mirroring through new asphalt.

New petro matting can be installed one of two ways: the most common way is by installing a piece of matting over each crack that is approximately ½” or greater in width. The second method is usually done on commercial lots by applying hot liquid tar over the existing surface, then laying felt-like material 8’ wide over the complete area.

By applying Petro Matting before paving your area, you can reduce cracking up to 80%, and Hicks Paving is one of the only contractors that offers this service!

After 5 years of doing major addition/remodeling projects to my house and yard, I knew that at the end of it all I would have to repave my driveway. The years of abuse by dumpsters, trucks and heavy equipment had taken its toll. The house looks great, but my driveway was broken up and weeds were beginning to take over. I also had this problem of my RV bottoming out as I left left the driveway. I asked Hicks paving to come in and give me an estimate. The salesman was very professional. He took some measurements and worked up a price quote on the spot. He came up with a price that I thought was competitive, but fair. There was no pressure whatsoever to sign the contract or schedule an appointment immediately. I asked if I could give a down payment, but have the work done in a couple of months. No problem.Fast forward to a couple of days ago. The prep crew came in 90 plus degree weather and worked diligently to rip out the old driveway and prep for the new one. They paid particular attention to the bottom of the driveway where I was bottoming out. They arrived early the next morning to complete the prep work. Chris, the crew chief told me that it looked like the upper part of the driveway was not draining properly. He said it would require further excavation. His boss came with more equipment and a couple of extra workers. The driveway was excavated, graded and ready to be paved with more than enough time for the asphalt to be delivered that afternoon. Sam Hicks walked me around to make sure that everything I had asked for was done. To my surprise, not only had they fixed the problem at the bottom of the driveway, but they had also cleared out the brush that was invading the edges and edged the entire area to give a more overall pleasing effect. All this, and never once was it even even implied that it might cost more money. Sam just smiled and said it was all part of the contract. The driveway was complete and paved before the first raindrop fell. I checked it out this morning. The driveway is smooth and level without a hint of a puddle anywhere on it. I couldn't be more pleased with the job! I highly recommend Hicks paving to anyone who is considering having work done.Thank you gentlemen, for a job well done.

Hicks Paving are true professionals. From the initial meeting / estimate to the scheduling and installation of my new driveway, I couldn't be happier. My wife and I have been dreaming of new driveway for over ten years and Hicks made our dream a reality. Our new neighbors across the street, who are currently renovating their home were so impressed, that they stopped by during the installation this morning and ask Tom Hicks to give them an estimate next week. As an engineer who has worked in the infrastructure industry for over 30 years, I know quality when I see it.Thank you Hicks,The Juhasz's
