"We definitely recommend EB Asphalt and Landscaping. We needed a driveway renovation plus landscaping - broken areas of asphalt to repave, cracks to fill, landscaping to build up on the sides of the drive to prevent further crumbling, and then sealcoating. Rick who quoted the job was very professional - his crew showed up promptly as scheduled, worked very hard and did a very nice job with the patch paving, crack filling and landscaping. As soon as the weather warmed up, the crew came back to finish the project with a beautiful two-coat spray on of sealcoating. This over 15 year old driveway looks brand new. Courteous. Nice. Easy to schedule and showed up on time as scheduled. Worked very hard. Did a super job. We will definitely hire E & B again next year for a final sealcoat over the recently patches which were too recently installed to be sealcoated this year. Carol The above replaces my two reviews shown below! Paving; Crack Filling; Landscaping SealcoatingWe definitely recommend EB Asphalt and Landscaping. We needed a driveway renovation plus landscaping - broken areas of asphalt to repave, cracks to fill, landscaping to build up the sides to prevent further breaking and then sealcoating. Rick was very professional - the crew showed up promptly, on time, worked very hard and did a very nice job. The last step will be sealcoating when the weather warms up, but so far we are very satisfied! Review 2:Asphault Patch Paving, Landscaping Driveway Sides, SealcoatingExcellent! E & B did a great job on my driveway project! from patch paving, landscaping to build up the sides to the sealcoating, it looks great! The first two parts of the project were done a month ago, and we had to wait for the right temperature for the sealcoat, which was done yesterday,. The drive looks awesome. When the new pavement has had time to cure and can be sealcoated, we will definitely hire E & B next year for a final sealcoat!"

"I hired Design and Build Masonry LLC to build a gravel foundation with a lumber perimeter and to construct my shed—and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, they were reliable, punctual, and incredibly professional. They answered all my questions thoroughly and provided everything I requested, including their Certificate of Insurance (COI), without hesitation. Communication was smooth, and they made sure I felt confident every step of the way. They showed up on time, stayed on schedule, and delivered exactly what they promised. I’m very happy with their service and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, skilled contractors. Thanks again!"

"Vito checked with me the day after he sealed my driveway. I told him that there were 2 brown patches at top of driveway and sent pictures. He assured me he would take care of it. True to his word, he not only came back and fixed the area, but also did entire driveway because it did not come out to his liking. He is a rare gem in these times where he truly stands behind his quality work. Do not hesitate to hire him. You will not be disappointed."

Paving Services FAQs, 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.

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.

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.

The ideal distance between stepping stones depends on your design preference. A general rule is to place them about 24 inches apart from center to center to match an average person's stride. Another common approach is to leave about 6 inches of space between the edges of each stone; this can be adjusted to fit the path's total length without cutting pavers. If you plan to plant between the stones, leave at least 6 to 8 inches of space to give the plants room to grow.

Think of the street as a way to capture all the elements on either side of the road, including the road—a street encompasses the homes or other buildings, the trees, and the road of a given area as defined by the beginning and end of the street on a map. A roadway, however, is the component of the street where cars travel.
