"I had them clear a few acres of raw land. Tree service was closest fit. They came w nice equipment for doing the job and the young man worked tirelessly all day. Cleared and flattened a couple of acres and cut driveways. It was fun to watch the mulcher chew thru the scrub and brambles. Nice folks. Iâ ll be calling them again for more work soon. Highly recommend them!!"
"Customer service started out good, then plummeted. There was no follow up after the work was completed. The team did not inform us that they were finished. They left huge chunks of debris in the yard, and rocks in the driveway. I thought it was a fair price, but expected better quality for the price."

"As I am looking to put my house on the market soon, I had a few repairs I needed to get done. The exterior of my house was quite dirty and the driveway full of algae. I had a cracked window pane, a leaky sink pea trap, a leaky sink faucet, and a bathroom tub that LITERALLY required a wretch to turn it on and off. I found Halo Construction on Angies List and contacted Kristy via phone. James came out the next evening per my schedule to take a look. This was very important and I have a very busy schedule. After James got an idea of what I needed done, Kristy emailed me an estimate 3 days later. James was able to come out and get started two days after that. He arrived when he said he would and got working right away. James and his team worked VERY hard all day long and into the night. A 3 hour plumbing job turned into an 8 hour job after he ran into a bit of a snag with the shower faucet (see below). He finally finished at ~8pm! The house exterior looks almost brand new! (see pictures) There's a few things James did that other pressure washers don't. His team hand cleaned every window frame, they used a long handled brush to scrub the very top of my siding, and after pressure washing they hosed the house down to prevent streaking. It's this attention to detail that sets Halo Construction apart from the others. The sidewalk and driveway went from greyish green to nice and white (see pictures). They guys even went as far as pressure washing the curb in front of my house and cleaning the debris off my house. He did such a good job with the window pane that you can't even tell which one was replaced. The pea trap, which should have been a simple job, was complicated by the fact that my house is almost 50 years old with 50 year old fixtures...yet James's and his creativity figured out a solution. The sink works great now. Initially James was only going to replace the stem of the tub faucet, however like the 50 year old pea trap, the parts for this faucet were no longer available. So James replaced the entire bathtub faucet, shower head and spout. He did this with no extra labor costs and charged me the actual price of the parts. I was very pleased by both the quality of work, the price, as well as their flexibility with my schedule. If James and Kristy keep up the level of service they provided me, I know they will very successful in the future. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Halo Construction to my friends and family."
The decision to repair or replace your driveway depends on the extent of the damage. If your driveway has a few small cracks, a simple repair will do the trick. If you see larger cracks and potholes, it may be time to consider resurfacing or replacement. Resurfacing is a great option if more than 25% of the surface is damaged, but if the damage is extensive—deep cracks or significant sinking—it’s best to replace the driveway entirely. A new driveway, with proper care, can last decades while patching or resurfacing might only hold up for a few years before needing more attention.
With proper maintenance, asphalt milling driveways can last 30 years or more. Over time, you’ll need to regularly sealcoat your driveway. You should also have your driveway inspected every few years and make any repairs as soon as they are necessary; this will prolong the lifespan of your driveway.
There’s no single best asphalt grade—it all comes down to where and how it’s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional’s input is always a smart move before making a decision.
This creates a risk for your driveway to fail after asphalt curing because it doesn't have a lasting bond with the surface. In order to get asphalt to perform as intended, it's necessary to prepare the dirt surface correctly first. The loose soil base under the new driveway must be compacted until it is stable enough to support the weight of the asphalt.
Cobblestone is just one of many driveway materials. Other, more economical, albeit less elaborate options include concrete, asphalt, and gravel.
If you want a material that most closely resembles cobblestone, your best option is bricks or pavers. Both cost anywhere from $10 to $50 per square foot and can be laid in all kinds of patterns. Depending on the type of paver you choose, you can also get a good bang for your buck by investing in durable natural stone.
