Customers say: Super punctual

"JD and his team just did the second job for us - new front yard sod & some new backyard plantings. The work is beautiful, just what we wanted, and was done efficiently and with such a great, positive crew. JD is meticulous - you get a beautiful yard and simple instructions to keep it that way! He has a great feel for what the customer wants and understands what it's going to look like all year round and over the long term. His original design is still beautiful almost 10 years later. Highly recommend, thanks JD!"

"Efrain & his crew did an excellent job of releveling the pavers on our patio, power washing them, applying polymeric sand and sealer to make it look better than new. We appreciate the quality of your work and highly recommend you for hard scaping paver jobs."

"Unique Landscaping does superior work. I needed to eliminate large, high maintenance overgrown landscaping beds around my home and wanted a cleaner, lower maintenance landscape around my house. Fabian designed the look, made excellent suggestions, and led a hard-working, friendly team of workers to completely overhaul everything. It now looks clean, modern and reflects my taste. I could not be happier. The crew worked tirelessly and efficiently, were concerned that every detail be excellent and pleasing and each worker really knew their stuff. The cost was reasonable and well explained and well worth it. Fabian's direction was a true partnership with me to be sure I was happy throughout the process. I cannot say enough good things about them and the entire experience. Do not hesitate to hire this company for anything you might need."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

This creates a risk for your driveway to fail after asphalt curing because it doesn't have a lasting bond with the surface. In order to get asphalt to perform as intended, it's necessary to prepare the dirt surface correctly first. The loose soil base under the new driveway must be compacted until it is stable enough to support the weight of the asphalt.

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.

Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.

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. 

With proper maintenance, asphalt milling driveways can last 30 years or more. Over time, you’ll need to regularly sealcoat your driveway. You should also have your driveway inspected every few years and make any repairs as soon as they are necessary; this will prolong the lifespan of your driveway.
