"Limitless Landscape was my first foray into snow removal/lawnmowing, etc. I had to be out of town for an extended period of time. Mr. Diaz came out to speak with me as soon as I entered a request. He set services up immediately. At first, I thought I could manage a new snowfall so I emailed and said I could do "this one myself before I go." It turned out to be too much for me so I contacted them again and very late that night Mr. Diaz came out himself to remove the remaining snow. Their fees are comparable, their service is excellent, and billing is easy and online. I will keep using their services, even when I am at home. They also do landscaping and I hope to be able to use their services then as well."

"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected."

"It’s hard to find contractors today that still believe in excellent customer service all the way from the upfront sales process to the last hour of the job done, and after the fact if needed. This company does all that it commits to and more. Every team member is a pleasure to work with from the idea stage of your project through completion. The end result far exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend them for any project!"

"Outstanding, outstanding company.
We had to go with a new service provider after our previous company went MIA. Derek from Penton was punctual and timely with all correspondence. Always proactive telling us what is happening and when. Estimates come in as promised without prompting. Their work, although a little expensive, is done with quality and is through.
I will try and update this post as the season continues but so far OUTSTANDING. 
I highly recommend without hesitation.

"We couldn't be happier with the retaining wall that was built for us! From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding. They worked incredibly hard every single day, completed the project much faster than we expected, and the quality of their work is excellent. Their pricing was very affordable, especially considering the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail they put into the job. On top of that, they were some of the kindest, most respectful, and easiest people to work with. They communicated well, answered all of our questions, and truly cared about making sure we were happy with the final result. If you're looking for a landscaping company that is hardworking, honest, reasonably priced, and delivers beautiful work, we highly recommend them. We are beyond pleased with our new retaining wall and would absolutely hire them again for future projects!"

"Called MWC multiple times and left multiple messages with no response whatsoever. I even explained that I understood if they didn’t have the capability of performing my work, seeing as I know they might be busy, but still absolutely zero response. I can’t speak to their workmanship, but this alone makes me doubt their ability."

"Ed and his team were great to work with. They provided several options as well as their preferred choice. The work was completed on time and the price was very reasonable. The work was also completed without significantly disturbing the rest of the yard. Ed always responded quickly and we have subsequently requested some additional work to be completed in the next few weeks in another area of the yard. We look forward to working with Arbor Hills in the future."

Paving Services FAQs, answered by experts

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

Yes, you should lightly wet the sand with a hose before laying the pavers on top. This activates the bonding agents in the sand, ensuring that your pavers don’t shift around during the installation process. However, you should make sure that the sand is not soaked; overwatering can cause the sand and pavers to not set properly.

Costs range from $3 to $7 per square foot, depending on the area size and project scope.

Although you could try to lay stepping stones directly over grass, which speeds up the installation process significantly, this method often leads to a poor result over time. Even heavy paver stones will eventually slide or shift on top of the grass. Digging into the ground and following the steps we listed is the best way to lay stepping stones for a long-lasting result.

Whether it's worth it to install a heated driveway depends on how often you'll use it, your lifestyle, and your budget. If you live in a mild climate with little snowfall, then installing a built-in heated driveway system may not be worth it. If you live in a region that experiences mild snowfall, then a portable mat could work better. However, if you live in a region with heavy snowfall, it makes sense to invest in a built-in heated driveway.
