"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!"
"Daniel’s crew were very polite and very efficient. They cleaned up the job after they finished and carried off any debris. Would highly recommend using them!"
"He did a great job. He does all chisel work and his work has an old world stone mason quality. I would highly recommend him and I would definitely hire him again."
"Eddie and his crew were very professional and great workers. Took out the old cracked driveway and put in a very nice driveway. Definitely will be using them again. Reasonable pricing."
Asphalt, which is stone mixed with tar, is the most common material for outdoor basketball courts because it’s so sturdy and versatile. However, you don't have to use it: another option is polymeric rubber, which has shock pads that can prevent injury. This option is a little more expensive, ranging between $16 and $25 per square foot.
Materials used for indoor basketball courts, such as hardwoods, aren’t really an option outdoors.
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.
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.
If your driveway is cracked, you can repave it with a process called asphalt overlay. Overlay is more cost-effective than a full replacement but is better suited for minor cracks and issues. If you have major cracks or other problems like water pooling, asphalt overlay isn’t your best bet. Plus, paving over a cracked driveway only extends the lifetime by about 10 years, whereas replacing it would start the clock over completely to give you up to 30 years.
A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain.
