"I was very pleased with the service I received from Del Mar Landscaping. The appointment was scheduled promptly and the workers showed up on time and did what was nothing short of a fantastic job. They also went the extra mile and cleaned up my front yard as well when only the back yard was scheduled. This greatly pleased me, and even with that they finished all the work early and left my yard looking great; free from any fire danger due to it's previously over grown condition. The workers were punctual and were very pleasant to work with as they were most accommodating to any suggestions or concerns I had. I would most definitely hire them again and would also recommend them to friends and family! Because of the above comments I gave them the highest rating I could give, and wish to thank them for a job well done!"
"The project turned out better than we could have expected. We had our driveway and patio area paved. They were quick and efficient. They responded quickly when we reached out to them. They checked in frequently about details and project outcome. They went out of their way to make sure the project was satisfactory."
"Pride paving was great to work with. Ezekiel helped with a bunch of our properties here in South OC and even went above and beyond the scope of work. I would highly recommend for commercial and residential property owners."
"I hired Hugo to remove an old pathway and steps and to replace it with concrete. He also helped with the landscaping. Hugo is very easy to work with, is reliable, calm and offers a very fair price for his work . He and his crew finished the job on time and were flexible when they had to delay due to a permit issue I needed to resolve. He came back after the job to help me with some additional things I realized I needed. I would use Hugo again and recommend him for any hardware or landscaping job you have."
"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."
"Mark and his crew did a great job on my patio pavers. The job was done on time and on budget and it looks great. Would definitely hire him again and strongly recommend his company for paving jobs."
"Although the pavers are wonderful and beautiful. The aftermath of clean up was horrible and they do not return calls. It has taken over 1 year to settle the damage done"
"They provided excellent service and was very professional and quick. I am so pleased with the outcome. My yard is beautiful. All the neighbors are envious. They came back with a quote that be out all the other landscapers and were very nice to work with. Five stars across the board."
"Responded quickly to our service request by responding the same day. Provided a fair price. Installed artificial grass that looks great. Made helpful suggestions to maintain the grass. Would definitely hire again."
Like brick, paver, and cobblestone driveways, resin driveways can have intricate patterns using different colors. Aggregates can be laid to create curves, shapes, letters, or numbers. When using custom colors or patterns, homeowners can expect to add an extra $2 to $6 per square foot to achieve their desired look.
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.
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.
Interlocking pavers offer a number of advantages over regular pavers. For instance, they’re more durable, more resistant to shifting, and easier to repair. There are also permeable options that allow for drainage. However, interlocking pavers are more often more expensive than regular pavers and are prone to growing weeds over time.
A traditional driveway gate isn’t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A security gate like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate—if not better for your home depending on which qualities you’re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.
