"We felt so lucky to find Cipriano and his crew. We completely redid our sizable backyard to convert to drought tolerant landscape and aspired to do as much of the work as possible ourselves, but knew we'd need help on some of the bigger, more complicated jobs.
We first found Cipriano for our irrigation. He had the best pricing and got his crew out and right to work so that we could catch up when the project was a bit behind. We played a bit of phone tag before finally getting work scheduled, but between phone and email we finally connected and got everything taken care of. He gave us options and made helpful suggestions for how we could keep costs down now but leave options open for future improvements. 
Immediately following that first round of work, we had a small leak elsewhere in the pipe system that may or may not have been related to the work his crew did. Still, Cipriano came right out and assessed the problem and helped us fix it. 
During the course of the irrigation work I mentioned we'd be doing DG and he said his crew did that as well. He showed us some impressive pictures that reflected the smooth curves we envisioned for our project. We still talked to a few other vendors but once again Cipriano had the low bid. So several weeks later, when we were ready, his crew came out once again and did an amazing job laying out our perfect paths and patios along the lines we sprayed out on the ground. It was a big chunk of work but with many hands on the job they were done in two days. 
With the paths we also had, not so much a problem, but an unanticipated outcome, where because of the curves some of the board began to shift and come away from the paths. Once again, Cipriano and his crew came right back out to not only fix the problem, but give the entire patio and pathways a fresh resurfacing just to make them look there best. We were so impressed by the extra lengths he went to and the obvious pride he took in his work. 
As our project wound down there were a few days when we needed help moving materials, planting, etc. We'd had such great experiences with Cipriano and his crew that we asked if we could hire 1-2 workers for the day and he was happy to help us. Those extra bodies made the final stages go so much faster and smoother!
We love our new yard and a lot of that is due to Cipriano's the great work and affordable rates. We've recommended him to all our friends, and know that he is in demand. So if you have to spend a little extra time on the phone or email, it's totally worth it!

"Our driveway was resurfaced with asphalt paving after years of patchwork repairs. Ken and his crew milled the old surface, compacted the base, and laid a fresh layer with clean edging. They even adjusted the slope to direct water away from the garage. The difference is clear in appearance and durability. It's a new property entrance."

"We couldn't have asked for a better experience! PGDG came out to give us a custom evaluation and rendering of the driveway gate, built, painted and installed the gate in a timely and efficient manner. They were even thoughtful enough to consider a wallstop on the side of our house to make sure the wind wouldn't carry the gate into the window! They had amazing service and built a beautiful product. We would definitely use them again!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Overall, a paver driveway is considered the easiest to maintain because homeowners are able to do driveway repair one piece at a time without impacting the rest of the driveway. Unlike paved options, paver driveways contain individual stones that aren't physically connected. By comparison, you may need to reseal or redo a full asphalt driveway if just one portion sustains a significant crack.

Since it has a smoother surface using a mixture of finer rock and sand, 41A tends to be the best asphalt grade for a driveway, especially for residential driveways. Other options are available, but more homeowners choose 41A for a smoother asphalt driveway. Talk with your asphalt driveway professional for recommendations of the best grade for your specific driveway.

Sometimes, when people talk about asphalt driveways, they’re actually referring to asphalt concrete, which is a completely different compound. Asphalt concrete is asphaltic cement combined with sand or grit. It is significantly more lasting and durable than regular asphalt but also much more expensive. If you’re considering using asphalt concrete, ask an asphalt company for their expert opinions.

New asphalt typically needs 24 to 72 hours to dry before it can handle light foot traffic and careful driving. Although it may appear solid after a few days, the full curing process, where the asphalt reaches its peak strength, takes much longer—generally from 30 days to a year.

During this extended curing time, the surface remains relatively soft and can be damaged by heavy vehicles, sharp objects, or high temperatures. To protect your investment, it's best to avoid parking heavy machinery on the asphalt until it has fully cured.

The exact time required for drying and curing depends on several factors, including the weather, the specific asphalt mix, and its thickness. For the most accurate advice tailored to your situation, consult with your asphalt contractor.

Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.
