"The first thing that convinced us that Cristian was the man for the job was his honest, kind, and helpful demeanor. We weren’t entirely sure what we wanted to do in our outdoor space and he came back on several occasions to discuss plans with us, walking through our yard and helping us visualize the possibilities. We never felt rushed and Cristian genuinely wanted us to end up with a space that we really enjoyed, which in the end, we did. He also offered information from his years of experience in both landscaping and other construction work. He really knows his stuff! He was also very responsive whenever we needed to discuss something. When the work began, he arrived on time with a good crew and they worked efficiently to get each stage of the project done ahead of the estimated timeframe. Our happiness was in the little details too. When asked to be careful of newly planted plants in our garden when putting in the sprinkler system, Cristian’s crew were careful. In the end we opted for natural grass with a full sprinkler system. We were very happy with the end result. The grass looked great and the sprinklers were placed well so that all parts of the grass are getting water. In a time when materials and labor are very expensive, Cristian’s pricing seemed reasonable and fair. Overall, we were very happy with the work Cristian and his crew did. He has since been in contact with us several times, stopping by to check on the grass and adjust the watering as needed. We would definitely hire Cristian again. He provided a very professional and skilled service, and is a kind and friendly man."

"The job went very well, from the initial walk-through of the landscape clean up project through the planning and execution of the work. Jorge understood our needs, offered suggestions, was very knowledgeable and professional and prompt and on time in all phases of the project. The landscape cleanup involved over 40 hours of labor. We felt the total cost was quite reasonable. His team continues to provide monthly maintenance services."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Driveway pavers are often worth the cost. Paver types like cobblestone, brick, and concrete are highly durable, and permeable paver options can be tremendously eco-friendly. While you may pay more for a paver driveway, you’ll see great returns from the increased curb appeal and low maintenance compared to other types of driveways.

Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs.

In most cases, driveway repair is worth the investment. Your driveway is one of the first things people see when they look at your home, so repairing cracks, chips, and potholes can improve your home’s curb appeal and overall value. Repairing your driveway is also almost always more affordable than replacing it entirely—an average of $1,765 compared to the cost of replacing a driveway, which typically costs around $5,000.

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.

Costs range from $3 to $7 per square foot, depending on the area size and project scope.
