"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.

"Contractor was chronically late for all appointments by 2-3 hours. He stayed and worked well into the evening, even in the dark. I appreciate that he got it done eventually, but did not like having someone there till 9:30 at night. He did a good job on the concrete stairs - they look great. He left a mess in my basement when he repaired the front stoop. He also used a folding chair in my basement to stand on without asking - it is now a mess. For the wood railing on the back stoop, I specifically asked for a 4-5" space to be left under the bottom of the railing so I could sweep snow off in the winter. I also wanted the railing going down the stairs. At first, he did not want to do this (said something about code did not require it for the 3 steps going up) but it was part of the estimate that I approved. I asked him to fix the space under the railing and put on the railing for the stairs. He did come back and fix all to my satisfaction. Very nice guy, just not punctual or professional.

"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

At a depth of two inches, a ton of asphalt covers around 80 to 100 square feet. However, the thicker the asphalt, the less surface area it will cover. That’s why measuring correctly is essential when estimating asphalt needs and costs to ensure you get enough material to cover your entire driveway, patio, or other asphalt surface.

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.

This creates a risk for your driveway to fail after asphalt curing because it doesn't have a lasting bond with the surface. In order to get asphalt to perform as intended, it's necessary to prepare the dirt surface correctly first. The loose soil base under the new driveway must be compacted until it is stable enough to support the weight of the asphalt.

While the specific timeline for building a driveway can vary based on driveway length and local weather conditions, the average concrete driveway can require several days to lay down all of the different parts of the driveway. The curing process may require you to avoid using your driveway for a week following construction. Heavier vehicles should be kept off of a new concrete driveway for several weeks. Building a gravel driveway may take just one to two days in total.

Think of the street as a way to capture all the elements on either side of the road, including the road—a street encompasses the homes or other buildings, the trees, and the road of a given area as defined by the beginning and end of the street on a map. A roadway, however, is the component of the street where cars travel.
