"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.

"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

Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs.

Asphalt paving offers several benefits, including cost-effectiveness and a quick installation process. It provides a durable and smooth surface, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. With proper maintenance, asphalt also offers longevity.

A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain.

New asphalt goes through two stages: drying and curing. Drying typically takes 24 to 72 hours, after which the surface is solid enough for light use like walking or careful driving. While you may be able to park on it after 72 hours, the surface is still soft and should be treated gently. Full curing is a much longer process, taking anywhere from 30 days to a full year for the asphalt to reach maximum strength. During this extended curing period, the asphalt is susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles, sharp objects, and high temperatures. Factors like weather, the specific asphalt mix, and application thickness all influence drying and curing times. For the most accurate timeline and to ensure the longevity of your new asphalt, it is always best to consult with your installation contractor for their specific recommendations.

Sometimes, when people talk about asphalt driveways, they’re actually referring to asphalt concrete, which is a completely different compound. Asphalt concrete is asphaltic cement combined with sand or grit. It is significantly more lasting and durable than regular asphalt but also much more expensive. If you’re considering using asphalt concrete, ask an asphalt company for their expert opinions.
