"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."

"We recently hired Sealcoat Masters to replace our home driveway, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Mike, the owner, provided a prompt quote the day after our initial contact, and we quickly approved it due to its affordability. The team obtained all the necessary permits from the village, and as soon as they got the green light, they scheduled the work. The end result was amazingâ the driveway looks stunning. The team's work was exceptional, and Mike was great to work with. We highly recommend Sealcoat Masters for their excellent service and beautiful results."

"As a property manager I’m always looking to add local small business guys to my address book. There’s times when I need to get something done quickly and smoothly. I got the information for Presco Asphalt Services from a buddy of mine and I gave them a call. Mario was able to come out that same day to look at one of my apartment buildings parking lots. He went over different options that would work for what I needed. We decided on doing pothole patching for that particular job to make the parking lot nice and level and discussed doing some asphalt patches and sealcoating in the for a different lot. His team was able to come out the next day and take care of business. They were very efficient and thorough. My maintenance guy was very impressed on how they worked he said they worked quickly and made sure everything was picked up and sectioned off and did a walk through with him afterwards. I will definitely have them come out for more projects in the future. Mario is your go to guy!"

Paving Services 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.

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. 

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.

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.

The recommended minimum amount for a paver base is 4 inches. From there, it depends on the kind of traffic the pavers will see and the current soil conditions. Two inches of paver base won’t create the amount of stability and support that pavers need to remain securely in place over time.
