Shrewsbury Township is a very small township in central Monmouth County, all that remains of a municipality that once covered a large part of the region. Today it is a compact residential area near Eatontown, Tinton Falls and Shrewsbury borough, with homes and housing communities set close together. Lots are small and flat, yards are modest, and most projects are focused: replacing a walkway, rebuilding a set of steps or adding a small patio out back.
This page is for Shrewsbury Township only. If you live in the borough, see our Shrewsbury borough page, since the two have separate building departments.
Walkways that connect the essentials
On a compact lot, a walkway does a lot of work: driveway to front door, back door to trash area, side gate to patio. We build patios and walkways in pavers or poured concrete with firm edges, so they stay straight and level instead of sinking at the corners.
Steps and small concrete repairs
Short sets of front and rear steps, landings and slabs are where wear shows first. When the damage is on the surface, concrete repair and resurfacing can restore them. When steps have settled or cracked through, we rebuild them on a new footing with even risers and secure railings.
Small patios, done properly
A small patio still needs a full base, a solid edge and a pitch away from the house. Skipping those steps on a little job is how pavers end up uneven after one winter. We build compact patios the same way we build big ones, just with less area.
A quick checklist for compact lots
- Confirm whether an association must approve exterior work.
- Note where downspouts drain before planning a patio.
- Leave room to reach meters, hose bibs and vents.
- Keep the patio a step below door sills.
We also work in nearby Eatontown, Tinton Falls and throughout Monmouth County.
