"This was the 2nd time I hired Alex Masonry; last year, I had them rebuild the stone retaining walls adjacent to my front entry stairs and widen the stairs as well (see photo and last spring's review).
This year, I wanted to replace my crumbling asphalt driveway, repaving the lower sloped end but using pavers on the top end near the garage, which is level. IMO, there's nothing uglier than a large expanse of cracked and potholed asphalt.
I had the contractor who will repave the lower end tear up the old asphalt on the entire driveway; then Alex's crew arrived as scheduled and performed the work as promised. The finished driveway is beautiful; it looks more like a courtyard than a driveway.
Alex is always pleasant and easy to work with and if you have specific ideas or concerns, he's responsive to your needs. The crew worked very quickly and did quality work. I'm in love with my driveway and I can't wait to show it off.
The price was not cheap but they had a pretty big area to cover, including a large space to left of garage that you can't see in the photo. I believe they  used 9 pallets of pavers. Maybe I could have gotten cheaper pavers, but Alex had faith in this particular brand, Unilock Camelot, so that's what we went with.
The driveway has just improved my home's curb appeal by about 300%. Thanks, Alex & crew!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

A solid driveway starts with the right asphalt mix, and for most homes, dense-graded hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the most recommended. It’s both durable and flexible, making it a reliable choice for residential use. A properly compacted 2-3 inch layer on a well-prepared crushed stone base will hold up for years. In areas with harsh winters or scorching summers, a slightly modified mix can help prevent cracking and rutting. No matter the climate, quality installation is just as important as the material itself, so hiring an experienced contractor ensures a smooth, long-lasting driveway built to last.

Asphalt edging secures the sides of your driveway to prevent crumbling and cracking over time. Most driveways have edges with a 45-degree grading. This helps transfer some of the stress from the asphalt to the ground underneath. If your driveway doesn’t have proper edging, the pressure from your car may break down the edges over time.

Gravel is the most economical and least expensive driveway material, costing between $1 and $3 per square foot. This is significantly cheaper than alternatives like asphalt or concrete. However, it's important to consider long-term costs, as gravel driveways require regular maintenance. You will likely need to add new gravel filling once or twice a year and regularly rake it to keep it level, which can add to the overall cost over time.

Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.

Cobblestone is just one of many driveway materials. Other, more economical, albeit less elaborate options include concrete, asphalt, and gravel. 

If you want a material that most closely resembles cobblestone, your best option is bricks or pavers. Both cost anywhere from $10 to $50 per square foot and can be laid in all kinds of patterns. Depending on the type of paver you choose, you can also get a good bang for your buck by investing in durable natural stone.
