"We hired APS to pave the roads & install speed humps in our home and they did a fantastic job! It was a big job, grading the old gravel streets, tearing out some old failing blacktop sections and installing approximately 45,000 sq ft of 3 inch thick new pavement throughout our streets. We would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of there services and will gladly use them again."
"Awesome,,Just 2 gentleman..Mario & Julio...1 hr. To prep,1 hr. To seal cracks,1 hr. To spray finish! Damm good knowledgeable people! Plus cost was very reasonable! 10 stars...J"
"I cannot recommend JP & his crew enough! Not only does our yard look beautiful, but the entire process from start to finish was absolutely seamless. JP came out the same day I requested a quote and started work the following week. Other contractors told me they couldn't get the tiles I wanted but Angel Sun was able to deliver. They were extremely communicative and walked us through the entire process. Overall extremely reliable & easy to work with. We can't wait to have Angel Sun back in the spring to complete our yard with greenery."
"It was fantastic. I left a request on Angies List and John of JDS called me right back. He lives in cottonwood and I live in Prescott Valley. He called a service man in Prescott to see if he was available. Both of them called me right back and I missed their calls as I was on another line. When I did get back with them J.T. was at my door immediately. Took him 10 minutes to do the job and it was excellent. No mess, wonderful service, and priced so that I could afford it."
"Nothing but a positive experience from Aaron Trail. Very easy to communicate with. Very prompt, kept all appointments. The new paint looks amazing and just the colors we selected. All stucco repairs that were made were blended so well, there is no way to tell where the original issues were! I already have recommended them to friends and family, I will continue to do so. Very happy with Aaron Trail! "
"The service I was provided was top teir! The crew was super respectful made sure I was taken care of the entire time. The finish product came out better then was expecting and I will absolutely use them again!"

Whether you decide to DIY paver installation or want to hire a pro, it’s smart to understand the process. First, you’ll need to prepare the area by clearing away grass and dirt. Next, you’ll add the paver base of gravel and sand before laying the pavers on top. You may need to cut pavers to fit your space or the landscaping design and add edging stones.
Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope—anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway’s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.
The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your driveway ideas. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.
You can pour concrete over asphalt if it’s in good condition, thick, stable, and well-compacted. Concrete is more durable than asphalt and can extend the lifetime of your driveway without having to pay frequent asphalt driveway repair costs or replace it completely.
But this is best reserved as a temporary solution based on budget restraints, as asphalt requires more frequent repairs and assessments than concrete. Once that concrete top is poured, it’ll be harder to accurately understand what’s happening beneath that layer, which could lead to more issues.
Although you could try to lay stepping stones directly over grass, which speeds up the installation process significantly, this method often leads to a poor result over time. Even heavy paver stones will eventually slide or shift on top of the grass. Digging into the ground and following the steps we listed is the best way to lay stepping stones for a long-lasting result.
