East Stroudsburg climbs from Brodhead Creek into the hills. Ground in the borough rises from under 400 feet to over 600 feet. Rain runs downhill across driveways and lots, and winter frost follows it into the cracks. The asphalt breaks up at the edges and settles in the low spots.

Much of East Stroudsburg's housing is old. Census survey data shows about one home in three was built before 1940. The median home was built in 1963, and few new ones go up. An old driveway is only as good as the base under it.
USDA soil maps show rock outcrops and shallow bedrock across about a quarter of the borough. In those soils, bedrock sits 10 to 20 inches down, and in places it breaks the surface. A full stone base there can mean cutting into rock. That work belongs in the written quote, so we look for it first.
Other hillsides carry silty soils over a dense layer that water moves through slowly. On some, a seasonal water table sits 14 to 24 inches below the surface. Water held under a driveway freezes in winter and lifts the asphalt. That is why the base and the drainage come first on our jobs.
The borough publishes a short permit guide for homes. It lists a zoning permit for a new driveway, and for one that gets bigger or moves. Driveway work also has its own supplemental application. When you are unsure, the guide says to ask the Zoning Officer and the Building Code Official.
A bigger driveway changes your lot coverage, too. The borough's zoning form counts driveway and parking areas in that number. The same form gives the Zoning Officer 30 days to review a complete application, so plan ahead.
Pennsylvania law calls for an 811 call three to ten business days before anyone digs. Utility locators may not mark private lines, such as yard lighting or an invisible fence. Those are worth finding before a machine digs out an old driveway.
NOAA's East Stroudsburg weather station averages about 42 inches of snow a year. About 137 nights a year drop to freezing, but only about 24 days stay below freezing all day. That steady freeze and thaw opens cracks, which is why sealcoating and patching matter here.
Brodhead Creek runs along the edge of the borough, and Sambo Creek and Little Sambo Creek run through it. Levees line parts of Brodhead Creek, and the 4.5 mile Levee Loop Trail follows the creek from Dansbury Park. FEMA's flood map puts the ground along these creeks in the 1 percent annual chance flood zone. Some land behind the levees is mapped as an area with reduced flood risk.
The borough's stormwater program aims to cut sediment in Reservoir Run, a creek that runs through town. It also asks owners to send downspouts away from paved areas and onto planted ground. On our jobs, we pitch the pavement so rain runs off and away from the house. Loose stone and soil stay out of the street inlets.
Courtland Street and Milford Road carry Route 447 and Business Route 209 through town. PennDOT counts close to 19,000 vehicles a day on one stretch of Courtland Street. Business lots on busy roads take a beating at the entrances. We build entrances and dumpster pads with thicker pavement, because trucks run there.
Under state erosion rules, disturbing 5,000 square feet or more calls for a written erosion and sediment control plan. One acre or more calls for a construction stormwater permit. In the borough, a development's erosion plan also goes to the Monroe County Conservation District. The borough checks its stormwater plan against the Brodhead and McMichaels Creek watershed plan.
East Stroudsburg mailing addresses reach past the borough, into Smithfield and Middle Smithfield Townships. If your home sits on a private road, the owners or their association decide when it gets paved. Private road paving covers that work. When a worn drive or lot still has a sound base, asphalt resurfacing may be enough.
