"Highly recommend Omar. He was prompt with his appt and got back to me with choices on size of bushes I wanted and price. He suggested additional bushes that we felt were just right for the location. Omar also brought in topsoil and aerated and seeded our lawn. As newcomers to the area, we felt we were so lucky to find such a great individual to work with. I hope others will give him the opportunity to help with their landscaping needs. Overall great person and hard worker!"

"She was very engaged and walks us through the whole process. We are very happy with the work done and the time they took to leave a minimal footprint on the surrounding grounds. I would definitely hire them again."

"I hired Deluxe Paving based on a neighbors recommendation. The price was reasonable, however, the drive began to crack within a few months. While we had a few disconnects on getting it rectified, Howard and Deluxe definitely stood behind their warranty. Instead of just patching the defective area they took the time to lift the entire surface. I would highly recommend."

"One of the few people in the area to install dry wells. Stopping my back yard from flooding has reduced so many other problems I was having with my foundation and water coming into the house. They did such a good job I hired them for concrete work also."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

The average cost of 1,500 square feet of asphalt ranges from about $10,500 to $22,500, depending on location, thickness, base material, and how accessible the job site is to crews and equipment. Keep in mind that your asphalt material cost may vary depending on its type, ranging from porous asphalt to heated blacktop. Standard asphalt costs $7 to $13 per square foot.

Permeable paving is a good option for a lot of reasons. It can help prevent flooding, keeps harmful chemicals from polluting our water, and can divert water away from your home’s foundation. Plus, it can add a rustic aesthetic to your outdoor area, might prevent pests who breed in water, and may even qualify for tax rebates.

While paving a driveway is possible to do as a DIY project, we don’t recommend it. Hiring a driveway professional to pave it will ensure that your driveway looks neat and clean and lasts for years to come, and it will also prevent a weak driveway and, potentially, damage to your foundation. Paving a driveway requires heavy machinery, and while you can rent the equipment needed, operating it close to your garage slab or around your home’s foundation can crack it and lead to structural issues. 

The layer of polymeric sand under the pavers plus the polymeric sand that gets swept into the joints between your pavers holds them in place in a few ways. For one, the gritty texture of the sand helps lock the pavers together. Polymeric sand also contains bonding agents that get activated by water. Polymeric sand will take between 24 and 48 hours to fully cure, so do not walk on your paver walkway before this time.

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.
