Freehold Township is a large, mostly suburban township that wraps around Freehold Borough. Much of it was built out as planned neighborhoods of colonials and split-levels, many with two car garages, a front stoop, a builder’s concrete walk and a backyard graded by machine. This page covers the township. If you live in the borough, see our Freehold page, which also covers backyard fire features and pool areas across both towns.
Upgrading the builder’s front walk
Many township homes came with a narrow concrete walk and a small stoop. After a few decades those slabs settle, crack and look out of scale with the house. Replacing them with a wider paver or bluestone walk, a larger landing and steps faced in stone is one of the most common upgrades we do here. Our walkway work includes the base and edging so the new walk stays level.
Driveways in planned neighborhoods
Original driveways in older subdivisions are often worn, stained and cracked at the joints. We replace them with new concrete, asphalt or pavers on a fresh base. Some homeowners add a paver border or a widened apron. Neighborhood associations sometimes have guidelines on color and material, so we check before choosing.
Walls on graded lots
When developments were built, many yards were cut and filled to create level pads, leaving slopes at the edges held by small landscape walls. Those walls were not always built on a solid base, and some now lean or bulge. We rebuild retaining walls with a compacted footing, drainage stone and capped block. A new wall can also level part of a sloped yard for a patio.
Before planning your project
- Township or borough? Confirm which building department covers your lot.
- Association rules. Read your HOA guidelines for materials and colors.
- Combine the front. Walk, stoop and driveway together usually look most consistent.
- Spring demand. Winter estimates give you more scheduling choice.
We also work in neighboring Manalapan, Howell, Marlboro and Colts Neck, and across Monmouth County.
