"Ty was very knowledgeable and was able to detect trouble areas in our deteriorating driveway on the nose. He knew where water was sitting and how to grade to avoid it in the future. Was quoted to remove existing driveway, add gravel and pave driveway with 2" of asphalt. Communication was great and he accommodated a couple of our requests without hesitation after the job was complete that I was not clear on with the initial contract."
"Nick Miller and his team were superb! Great price, excellent work quality, finished everything as promised! I very highly would recommend Done-Rite for all of your asphalt paving, Re-Striping and any other asphalt related work. Thank you Nick!"
"I highly recommend Salgado's Brick Paving Services. Greg is very professional and his team is highly skilled. One of Greg's great skills is that he works really well with customers. He understands and expects that customers will have questions and concerns throughout a project and is very patient, understanding, and reasonable. He is a great communicator and keeps the customer informed at all times. Greg really takes pride in the work that they do and goes the extra distance to ensure everything is exactly how it should be. This sets Salgado's Brick Paving Services apart from others. The end result for us is a beautiful brick paver driveway and walkways. Thank you Greg and team and I'm looking forward to working with you again in the future."
"The paving team they have is amazing! They took a little longer than expected but wow. They did an amazing job replacing my driveway and making it seamless! My expectations weren't very high because I work with many companies for my job and know how most contractors work but these guys are so different. They care about their work and the client's satisfaction! I had 3 other companies quote me and grade A was higher in price but steve knew what he was talking about as soon as he saw my drive. The village was giving them issues about depth but didnt know what the end goal was so they did have to pay a fee that teve told me about immediately. I will be contracting them again for future sealcoats and any other asphalt needs. Highly recommended!"
"We hired Sealcoat Masters to seal coat and restripe our business, and we are satisfied with their services. They did a great job with the seal coating, giving our premises a rejuvenated look. The restriping work was also well-executed. We recommend Sealcoat Masters for its quality services."

Efrain also did stone work for the front of my house He also redid a section of the association retaining stone wall. Really top notch job!! You can’t go wrong with this company!!!"
"This was a top notch job from start to finish. It is very rare that I would choose the most expensive proposal but it was clear that 3d Brick Paving was likely going to be the most capable, meticulous, and professional of the candidates. The resulting work was solid and beautiful. Watching the workers throughout, I could tell how much skill and care they brought to the project. Great job!"
"Fabin and his team did a fabulous job recreating our yard. We are beyond pleased with the outcome. We would highly recommend Unique Landscaping Service."
"Lagos Paving is an outstanding company. Jose and his team are efficient and extremely knowledgeable. They did an outstanding job paving our parking lot. I would recommend Lagos for commercial or private projects."
"We have used Roberto Torres and his company for about 4 years now. Aside from awesome weekly landscaping (grass, edging, weeds, trees & bushes), he has also changed out our flower beds and front landscaping and last year removed a dog run and old shrubs and put pavers down to expand my patio. Always prompt, always fair, always high quality work. If you need a reliable service, don’t scroll further. This is the company to use!!"
A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.
Recycled asphalt is a durable choice for a driveway, but doesn’t have the same appearance and low maintenance as standard asphalt. For long driveways in rural communities, recycled asphalt can make a great choice. Recycled asphalt is 20% to 30% percent less expensive than standard asphalt and is better for the environment.
If you wish to break up a cracked or broken paver for removal, you can use a hammer or mallet and a chisel to fragment the paver. As you’re working, be careful not to disturb surrounding pavers; the key is to work slowly and steadily and remove the broken pieces gently. You should also wear a mask and goggles to ensure that no dust gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth as you work.
Like brick, paver, and cobblestone driveways, resin driveways can have intricate patterns using different colors. Aggregates can be laid to create curves, shapes, letters, or numbers. When using custom colors or patterns, homeowners can expect to add an extra $2 to $6 per square foot to achieve their desired look.
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.
