"We needed a circular driveway installed. Lots of grading and ild concrete and gravel removal. They demoed, grade and installed the forms all in the same day, quick and clean. They tamped the grounds and got it all ready to be poured. Pouring took about 4 to 6 hours and those guys worked very hard and fast. The concrete truck driver cleaned up the street after pouring making the street look clean as it was before the pour. They finished the concrete and installed expansion joints where needed. Took a 3rd day for all the forms to be removed and cleaned up. The driveway looks beautiful and the work is top notch. We used 3000psi fiber mesh concrete and the final product is very strong. I would highly recommend Terrance@Low Cost Concrete for any of your concrete needs."
"Had several estimates for a raised section of my driveway due to a tree root. Some wanted to drill holes and jack up the good section to level it with the bad. Another wanted to rip out the entire driveway. David, from Bayview was the only one who offered two solutions. Grind it down or cut out one section, remove all the roots and pour new concrete for that section. Though grinding was cheaper, we went with the better solution to replace that section. David was very professional, punctual and did exactly what he said he would do for the price he gave. I am very pleased with the results and highly recommend David and Bayview. We also hired him to add additional expansion joints and paint our driveway. Review for those jobs will be added later."

"Shapin Brick Pavers, Jhony, installed a brick pato and also paved my existing enclosed porch. I highly recommend this business. For a very fair $ amount, they completed a high quality installation. The quality bricks are beautiful and the installation is perfect. 200 sq ft completed in less than 2 days, with no flaws. Found this business through Angie's / Home Advisor. He contacted me immediately, came out to quote quickly, explaining the whole process from beginning to end so that I immediately trusted him. Pleasant, kind person who knows his trade and cares about his work, making sure I was happy all along the way. Cleaned up properly on completion and left a job well done."

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.
While paving a driveway is possible to do as a DIY project, we don’t recommend it. Hiring a driveway professional to pave it will ensure that your driveway looks neat and clean and lasts for years to come, and it will also prevent a weak driveway and, potentially, damage to your foundation. Paving a driveway requires heavy machinery, and while you can rent the equipment needed, operating it close to your garage slab or around your home’s foundation can crack it and lead to structural issues.
Several materials are suitable for steep driveways. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable options that provide good traction. Permeable pavers—such as plastic, rubber, or concrete—filled with gravel or crushed stones are also excellent, as they allow water to drain without causing erosion and perform well in ice and snow. Another option is resin, which can be coated with an anti-slip finish and helps prevent puddles. For added stability, you can install a retaining wall to prevent pavers and gravel from shifting over time.
The average cost of 1,500 square feet of asphalt ranges from about $10,500 to $22,500, depending on location, thickness, base material, and how accessible the job site is to crews and equipment. Keep in mind that your asphalt material cost may vary depending on its type, ranging from porous asphalt to heated blacktop. Standard asphalt costs $7 to $13 per square foot.
Yes, it is possible to pave over an existing driveway, but whether it's the right choice depends on several factors. If the underlying structure of your current driveway is still strong, concrete or asphalt resurfacing can be a cost-effective way to prolong its life. However, if your driveway has significant issues like potholes, deep cracks, or other inconsistencies, it is best to remove the old driveway and start from scratch. Key factors to consider include the current driveway's condition, the compatibility of the new material, the added thickness and height, and the necessary surface preparation.
