"Hunter reviewed our plans and made some additional recommendations. We still owned the process and he did his best to create our vision out of hardscape material. He was prompt to come out and gave a very detailed estimate, breaking down materials and service. There was no doubt what was included in the quote. There were other firms that quoted the project at a lower price that did not get the job because their quote was too ambiguous. When it came to the installation, they were prompt, detailed and clean. Within three days they were complete. At the end of each workday the cleaned up and left the site presentable. We received great value and great service. We are delighted with HDR Landscaping’s work and highly recommend them"

"Cory is extremely professional and communicative. We had him design and install plants and bushes, including mulch. And paved a patio for us, including putting in a retaining wall. I was very impressed with the work he did, and it was affordable!"

"Brett and Hunter were great to work with and they did an outstanding job. They did the work on time, and under budget and the work was outstanding. They worked with our church so that we did not have to miss services, and went above and beyound. They gave us a good price and did excellent work. I would recommend this company to anyone with paving needs."

"I have a difficult driveway that has a hill with a steep grade. The old driveway was in very bad shape. The driveway Doctor and his outstanding crew, did an amazing job with leveling and re-paving. It both enhances the property esthetically and provides for a safe and manageable use of the driveway despite the steep grade. The crew were experts, professional and very personable. I also find it difficult to see how they could complete the work at such a great price. Their equipment is clean and professionally maintained as well. They were here when the said they would be and completed the work thoroughly and in a timely manner (careful to insure the job was done well). I would give the the Driveway Doctor my highest reference. You will be very pleased if you choose the Driveway Doctor for your driveway needs."

"Martinez Construction and Masonry is fantastic to work with. They came out the same day for the estimate and answered all of our questions. When we decided to move forward with them, they came out the following week and completed the job within a day and a half. Additionally, they were respectful of our home and cleaned up the job site well. I highly recommend working with them and plan to return as a customer for future projects."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

You’ll first need to install a base underneath your pavers for extra stability and drainage. Otherwise, the pavers can sink into the ground, and you’ll have to reinstall them. Use a base gravel layer of 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 10 to 12 inches for driveways. Compact your gravel layer every 2 to 4 inches so it’s nice and solid. After you install your gravel base, apply a 1-inch layer of sand on top.

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.

Driveway paving costs around $4,500 on average, but depending on many factors, you could pay anywhere from $2,500 to $6,600 or more. The size of your driveway will usually be the most significant factor, with more square footage increasing your costs. You can expect to pay between $2 and $15 per square foot for paving services. Some other factors that play a role include the following:

  • Quality of the materials

  • Contractor’s experience and expertise

  • Site preparation and grading, if necessary

  • Layout of your driveway

Yes, permeable paving is expensive. For driveways, expect to pay up to $70 per square foot; for patios, permeable paving can cost up to $30 per square foot. Costs will depend on the type of material you choose, plus the standard labor rate in your area.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.
