"We hired Limitless Landscape to fix up my dad's front yard and reconstruct the retaining walls. We live on a large hill and Liz and Alan went above and beyond with showing us options with varying costs. Once we decided what we wanted, Alan and Liz were very good about keeping the lines of communication open. We decided on a two tier hardscape with a circular stone front stoop. They incorporated the hardscape with the retaining wall along the driveway. I realize I am probably not using the correct vocabulary, the pictures are probably more helpful. Limited Landscape is an excellent company. They work very hard and the outcome is amazing. The house itself looks like it has had a facelift. We could not have picked a better company for this work. I would 100% recommend Limitless Landscapes."

"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.

"Ed and his crew were awesome to work with! They designed several ideas to go with our new contemporary lake home to give it that extra pop with lush sod, beautiful trees, shrubs and flowering plants. The crew worked very hard to meet our expectations and we are super pleased with the results!"

"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.

"Big O Concrete Construction was a great business to work with. Nacho listened to what we needed done with our driveway extension, and made suggestions as to how we could reduce water drainage onto our driveway. His team was courteous, prompt and professional."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.

Even with regular maintenance, most driveways don’t last much longer than 30 years. Alligator cracking is a clear warning sign that your driveway’s foundation is failing, and cracks that are deep and wide can let water in, causing more damage. Standing water is another red flag. If your driveway doesn’t drain properly, it’s going to degrade slowly. Finally, if you’re seeing dips or uneven patches, that’s a sign the base layer or soil is shifting. If these issues pop up, it’s time to replace your driveway.

It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It’s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting. 

When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you have worker’s compensation?

  • Do you use subcontractors on your projects?

  • Do you clean up after the job is done?

  • Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Do you give free estimates?

  • What is the timeline for completion?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three references?

  • Can I see some of the work you’ve done?

The average cost to repair an asphalt driveway is around $2,459 to $2,500. However, prices can range from $100 for minor DIY crack filling to over $4,000 for more extensive professional work. Costs are often calculated per foot, with minor repairs costing $1 to $3 per linear foot and heavier damage like potholes, sinking, or crumbling costing $2 to $5 per linear foot. Patching smaller potholes can cost around $2 to $3 per square foot. The final price depends on the severity and extent of the damage, driveway design, local contractor rates, and whether sealing is included. For major repairs, it is recommended to hire a professional, and you may get a better deal by bundling repair and sealing services together.
