"The end results are amazing. The patio looks better than it did when it was built new 10 years ago! The crew was amazing and Alan and Liz (owners) were a total pleasure to work with. We would recommend Limitless Landscapes for any landscaping job, especially if there is a lot of hardscaping involved. They are wonderful to work with and we couldn't be happier with the results."

"Estimator was out a few days after I contacted them.  Very prompt.  Clear design plan and bid.  Work was preformed on time, withing constraints caused by weather.  Had a few plants that did not survive the winter and they were replace promptly and without any argument.  Workers were polite and careful.  Cleaned up after they were done.

"We were very pleased with the overall experience here.
Although I read some reviews stating that Mike was difficult to get in contact with, in my case he was able to come out the next day to provide an estimate.  When there for the estimate, he was extremely patient answering all of our questions and provided us with multiple quotes for both the driveway and patio as we weren't certain what we wanted to do yet.
Once we decided to go with Mike, he was a bit difficult to get in touch with to get on the schedule but it only took a couple of calls. Not a big deal.  I was warned that it could be 4-8 weeks before they could get out to do the work.  As others shared in their reviews, he had an opening pop up in his schedule and they were actually able to come out after only 2 weeks.
The actual work was terrific.  The crew was extremely professional throughout the process, and Mike was out on the job himself for the majority of the time.  The crew removed our existing patio and pavers and poured a new patio in one day.  The next day they did the entire driveway and sidewalk work.  All of the work looked outstanding when they were finished.  On both the patio and driveway regrading was also needed as we had significant settling in both cases, and they did a great job with that as well.  
Mike was extremely picky about the workmanship and made sure everything got done correctly while the work was being done. A couple days after the job, his crew came back out to do cleanup work and did a pretty good job but left with some items still unfinished.  I called Mike and he got the crew and himself back out to our house a couple days later and completed the rest of the cleanup.
All in all, Mike and his crew did exactly what was promised and did a very good job.  I would happily recommend MWC to anyone.

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your driveway ideas. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.

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.

New asphalt typically needs 24 to 72 hours to dry before it can handle light foot traffic and careful driving. Although it may appear solid after a few days, the full curing process, where the asphalt reaches its peak strength, takes much longer—generally from 30 days to a year.

During this extended curing time, the surface remains relatively soft and can be damaged by heavy vehicles, sharp objects, or high temperatures. To protect your investment, it's best to avoid parking heavy machinery on the asphalt until it has fully cured.

The exact time required for drying and curing depends on several factors, including the weather, the specific asphalt mix, and its thickness. For the most accurate advice tailored to your situation, consult with your asphalt contractor.

To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, check that the company is licensed and insured.
