"Nate did several projects for me but he is most known for his stone mason skills. He built stone planter wall and a stone sitting area. Many times I was unable to be there during his work hours- he worked with little oversight by me. He was professional and took care of my home and work areas very well. We agreed upon pricing prior to the work starting and if he had a problem with stone or supplies he would call and tell me what was necessary and why. There are typically unforeseen challenges with supply chain so I anticipated it might take more time then we allotted. He also worked during the winter in the cold and snow, rain etc. I will use him again."

"Jarrad and his crew did such an amazing job on our addition!!! We had no idea how to start the process or even where to start and he took care of everything from start to finish with us so we still felt involved. He had great ideas to help save money but also to help bring our vision to life!! He was very observant throughout the entire build and honest with any questions we had and his crew were great and easy to get along with. We highly highly recommend him and his team if you are in need of an addition or remodel, I think he even builds new homes also. Canâ t thank him enough."

"This father and son duo really knows what they're doing. They were always punctual, worked efficiently, and were courteous and friendly. They completed a large driveway at my home within several weeks (given we had lots of rain) and built it to meet and exceed my expectations. The price they quoted me was completely reasonable and fair. I will definitely call them first on my next project. I highly recommend. Thanks Guys!"

"I had tried several numbers for handymen and contractors. Most didnt reply when the job was small. Eric at Solveson Brothers came to the house, checked what needed to be done and gave a good price so the company was hired. I really liked the way everyone worked with me, Eric, Jewels. and Antonio. Antonio is a master drywaller, beautiful work! I am extremly satisfied!! I will reccomend this company for quality work and will use them again. Carole Slonaker"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, check that the company is licensed and insured.

DIY is not recommended due to equipment and expertise requirements. Professional services ensure durability and proper grading.

Driveway aprons typically range between four and seven inches thick, though your town's building codes will likely have specific requirements. Additionally, you may need to add a layer of permeable aggregate in the excavation below your paved apron to ensure proper stormwater drainage.

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.
