"Excellent work! I was so impressed, crew showed up when scheduled, executed the work professionally. I was especially pleased with the grading work that was done on the hill as the road curved around, rain no washes out my driveway!!! I'm am so pleased and would highly recommend Blacktop+."
"They came in a timely manner, were courteous, did great work, fixing a leak in a sprinkler pipe, where the location of the leak was not clear. Very reasonably priced. Came back for a follow up (not directly related to the original work), also very timely. They were recommended by Angi. I'm in Longmont. MSH will definitely be my first stop for the next time I need a Landscaper."
"Jake and the crew did a great job on my grading project. They were able to meet my short schedule which was necessary for my situation and finished ahead of time. I would definitely hire them again."
"We had Jim and his team dig a crawl space hole in our backyard for an ADU for my wife’s parents. I had constructed dozens of homes in years past but the space in my personal back yard was extremely limited. I was completely amazed on how they dug, stored the dirt, and back filled the new foundation with proper compaction! I would definitely recommend and hire Jim and his guys every time!"
"Dustin immediately followed up with my initial request with an email, then a phone call. He answered all of my questions and provided information that was useful and helpful. His project quote was very reasonable, he returned phone calls and would follow up when he said he would. BMG did quality work and was very happy and satisfied with the outcome of this project. I had three additional companies that I contacted for quotes: one didn't bother calling back, and one didn't even ask any questions about our project. They threw out a figure that was nearly TRIPLE of what BMG quoted. When I asked them, "why their price estimate was so incredibly high," the rep stated, "that's just what it is!" BMG will have my fence and deck projects in the future!"
"Fort August Foundation Repair was professional, honest, and easy to work with. They explained the issue clearly, finished the job on time, and the quality of work was excellent. Our home feels secure again, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend!"
"Recently, I had to have my steep 1/3 mile dirt driveway repaired from water damage. Eric and his crew came out and went over and above in repairing and getting my road back to a drivable condition. They even installed rails in the road to help with drainage in heavy rains and it did the trick! I would definitely recommend Eric and his crew and give the company a 5â ï¸ + rating!!"

Concrete is typically the best material for a driveway if you’re looking for longevity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance. But, it’s not ideal for areas with annual freeze-frost cycles, nor is it the most attractive option—although you can get it stamped or painted. If your location is consistently below freezing, asphalt may be a better choice.
Many asphalt companies have experience with tar and chip paving, but not all. The process is unique enough—and not incredibly common enough—that you may have to look around for a tar and chip specialist. However, speaking with a driveway company is a great place to start, especially if they have experience with multiple materials.
While the specific timeline for building a driveway can vary based on driveway length and local weather conditions, the average concrete driveway can require several days to lay down all of the different parts of the driveway. The curing process may require you to avoid using your driveway for a week following construction. Heavier vehicles should be kept off of a new concrete driveway for several weeks. Building a gravel driveway may take just one to two days in total.
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.
The driveway apron is a technical term referring to where a private driveway meets the public street. If there is a sidewalk in front of the house, the driveway apron is typically on the opposite side of the public sidewalk from the driveway itself.
