Belgian Block & Curbing in Sayreville, NJ

Belgian Block & Curbing for Sayreville homes

Sayreville was built on clay — literally, it was a brick-making town. That clay is still under many backyards, and it changes how a patio or driveway has to be built.

We work across Sayreville, including Parlin, Morgan and Melrose.

Built for Sayreville ground

Clay is common in Sayreville. It holds water and swells when it freezes — the main reason older driveways and patios here heave and crack. For belgian block & curbing, we excavate below the soft layer, replace it with a compacted stone base and pitch the surface so water runs off instead of soaking in at the edges.

Belgian block is the granite curbing you see on so many New Jersey streets and driveways. It gives a hard, clean edge that stands up to tires and snowplows and makes a plain asphalt or concrete driveway look finished.

Where we use it

• Driveway edges and aprons. It protects the driveway’s edge from crumbling and gives it a clean line.
• Sidewalks and lawns. It separates hardscape from grass, as in the sidewalk project on this page.
• Garden beds. It’s a durable border that won’t rot or heave like plastic or wood edging.

How it’s set

Each block is set in a concrete base, aligned to a string line, and backed with concrete on the soil side. That’s what keeps a curb line straight after years of plowing.
