"Very pleased with APS all the way around. Doug offered several options of what he could provide, was not pushy and no upselling. He was able to squeeze my small driveway project in on a time line that worked for me. His crew was efficient and organized and clean. Very happy with the end product. I would recommend APS Chipsealing & Asphalt Paving to anyone."
"Excellent experience with this company from initial meeting with Jason and owner, Krystal who came out to give estimate on 8/18/26. They were pleasant, courteous, Krystal explained everything in advance. We agreed to service and job was performed to perfection yesterday, 8/24/26. Team members Mario and Julio arrived on time. They were knowledgeable with 27+ years of experience. They swept up debris at completion, leaving our property clean. Our job was small, yet treated with the attention companies give big projects. We are very pleased with the job they did. We highly recommend their services! It was a pleasure dealing with Krystal and her team."
"Valor was wonderful to work with. They faced the rare instance of rain affecting the schedule and instead of just pushing us back they worked between the rainstorms and finished the project on Saturday, again working around the rain. Our street looks awesome. Their crew was also friendly and courteous. They also showed concern for the elderly in our community and supplied a cart to transport people to their vehicles parked on other streets. Highly recommend this company."

"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.

Very happy with Aaron Trail! "

While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.
Your driveway contractor will probably recommend that you avoid driving on your new millings driveway for up to a week. Keeping pressure off the freshy applied millings will help the driveway to bind together. While the sun is helpful for binding millings, hotter weather can actually make the curing process take longer.
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.
The stones do not work well on uneven ground. If the stones are not buried into the ground and made level upon installation, they almost certainly will shift or crack on uneven ground. Additionally, rainwater or water from sprinklers can run under the edge of an uneven paver, causing erosion. In a freeze and thaw cycle, trapped water under the paver can cause the problem to worsen by shifting the stepping stones around. Use a bubble level to make sure the ground under each paver is as even as possible, even if the nearby ground is uneven.
Asphalt paving offers several benefits, including cost-effectiveness and a quick installation process. It provides a durable and smooth surface, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. With proper maintenance, asphalt also offers longevity.
