"Met with contractor who provided me a great price and was able to get the work done when he said he would. Crew came out for work and did a great job in building me my grill patio. When I looked to get more work done, I knew exactly who I would be hiring for the job and had them come back out for a new estimate for a new walkway. Can't wait to see how the new walkway turns out."

"T-Rex turned our nearly impassable, pothole ridden private road into a smooth, completely repaired roadway. Working with T-Rex was great, 0scar is very personable and professional, he gave us several options and prices to choose from, and performed meticulous work. We and our neighbors are very pleased with performance and price. Will definitely recommend T-Rex Excavating to others and work with them again for any future needs. Thank you Oscar!"

"They did an extraordinary job building my new sidewalk and front step. They did the job in just two days! It looks fantastic! The work was amazingly clean. All the mulch and gravel, etc., they had to move to install the sidewalk, they replaced. The new walk has made a huge improvement to the looks of my yard and home. They were easy to work with. Communication (by text) was excellent. I was kept posted on everything they were going to do. The invoice had an itemized list of all the supplies and procedures regarding the installation. I am absolutely delighted about the new walk!!!"

"Large landscaping garden. They also put in a gravel driveway around my garage. Added two driveway extensions for my extra vehicles. Then added a long extension to park my Semi on to stay out of the street. Also put down a large excellent base for my new Lawn Shed. Plus, a large rock base around a tree on a hill so I no longer have to mow it and now the growth doesnâ t block my view when pulling out on to a four lane highway. Removed a couple of large and annoying tree stumps. . Everything was fairly priced and done in a timely fashion. They will always be my FIRST CALL!!!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Several materials are suitable for steep driveways. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable options that provide good traction. Permeable pavers—such as plastic, rubber, or concrete—filled with gravel or crushed stones are also excellent, as they allow water to drain without causing erosion and perform well in ice and snow. Another option is resin, which can be coated with an anti-slip finish and helps prevent puddles. For added stability, you can install a retaining wall to prevent pavers and gravel from shifting over time.

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.

There’s no single best asphalt grade—it all comes down to where and how it’s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional’s input is always a smart move before making a decision.

The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt. Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it’s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.

Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.
