"Just completed on job of 3 so far. Power washed my back Patio. Looks the best it has ever looked. They are coming back, Build me a new Mailbox and re=do my driveway + add a stone Cap to my Retainer wall. The Stone cap was beautiful, great job. My negative on the Project, was they took forever to do my Driveway. I was told they sent the wrong materials. So the owner, Alejandro told me they would order other materials to replace those. For a job that I expected to take only a week and a half, they took almost a month. And left a Dumpster full of concrete waste in front of my House for a few weeks making my House an eyesore to the neighborhood. They did finally finish the Driveway, Pave stone. It came out beautiful. But then Alejandro told me he could not Power wash the dust and waste material off, and put sealant on it, for a few weeks. He said he was running over budget, and needed $2000 more to finish the job. Project is still not complete. I feel, if he miscalculated, that should not be my burden to bear. I should not have to pay extra to complete the job."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.

Gravel is the cheapest way to extend a driveway. Gravel is an affordable, practical option that’s easy to install and perfect for DIY projects, helping you save on labor costs. It can be quickly spread and leveled to create extra driveway space without heavy preparation. While gravel doesn’t offer the same durability or finished look as concrete or asphalt, its low cost makes it ideal for budget-conscious homeowners who want a functional solution without overspending.

The dimensions of a driveway apron vary based on local building codes, the width of your driveway, and the distance between the driveway and the road. On average, aprons range from 12 to 24 feet wide and 8 to 18 feet long. Typically, the end of the apron connected to the driveway matches its width—such as 10 to 12 feet for a single-car driveway—while the end at the street flares out to allow cars to turn in and out more easily. In some areas, you may not be responsible for the portion of the apron that extends beyond the sidewalk, but this depends on local laws.

Decomposed granite and caliche can both harden into a solid surface using a plate compactor. However, due to decomposed granite’s fine particles, it’s not suitable for driveway surfaces. Some homeowners use pea gravel mixed with a gravel-binding resin to bind the loose stones and create a solid surface that won’t shift like loose gravel.

If you're designing a new patio in an area with poor drainage, permeable pavers made from porous materials may help prevent water issues. Most permeable pavers feature a gravel-only aggregate base instead of a concrete base to allow water to flow through instead of getting trapped. While beneficial in some cases, permeable pavers come with higher initial costs and greater load-bearing limitations compared to traditional pavers.
