"Hector and his crew did an outstanding job.  My wife and I are very pleased with the work performed as well as how Hector provided excellent customer service.  He and his team went out of their way to ensure we were involved and happy with the process, from scheduling to explanations of the process and what to expect.  Hector gave us great advice on what to do after they are gone and what they can be called for for follow up.  The crew worked hard, long hours to get the job done as promptly as possible, even coming in over both Saturday and Sunday.  I have to mention that I called Hector after interviewing six other contractors in the area, that had not satisfied me to hire them.  I decided to expand my search on Angie's List and I saw Professional Concrete and all the great reviews it had.  I decided to contact them and ask if they would come out even though they are in Kenosha.  And they did come out.  Hector impressed us right away.  His patience and ability of explaining what to expect was what we were looking for.  The price we paid is fair and we are very happy.  The completed work is great.  The driveway is perfect.  The front porch is outstanding.  And the back patio is ready for next summer's cook outs!  We feel we have found a very good company for concrete work!  Thank you, Hector and team!

"Had a few problems at the start. Due mostly to Covid closing the asphalt plant. I had a concrete walk, Front porch and Asphalt Driveway installed. All work done in a professional manner. The sidewalk lined up with the Asphalt drive. Driveway had to be pitched in two different directions. No puddles and the water flow of the driveway is excellent. Cleaned up was so good it looked like they were never there. Sal went above and beyond what needed to be done. I am very pleased with the job and would recommend them to anyone wanting a perfect job done in a timely fashion."

"This was my first experience working with Ecoscape, and I was very impressed! Harvey was my primary contact. He is a great communicator and kept me updated on the status of the job throughout the process and responded to questions promptly and thoughtfully. He and his crew showed up when they said they would, and did an excellent job. I had a new paver and stone sidewalk installed to replace an existing concrete and gravel walkway. Everything was done very efficiently and effectively. Harvey provided some suggestions on the new paver pattern, and made sure that I was happy with it before installation. The sidewalk installation itself looks great! The crew also made sure to clean up the site when they were done. Everyone I met from Ecoscape was very polite and professional, and they do quality work for a fair price...I would not hesitate to work with them again!"

"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!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

You can expect your asphalt pavement to last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, or 25 years on average. The life expectancy of your asphalt driveway depends on the climate, the amount of traffic, and how well you maintain it. While you can’t necessarily control some of these factors, you can control the amount of maintenance effort you put into your driveway. 

To prevent your asphalt from deteriorating prematurely, you should follow a good maintenance routine involving regular cleaning, reparation work, and resealing.

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.

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.

Yes, a paved or repaved driveway can boost your home's value by increasing its curb appeal and the functionality of your outdoor space. A new driveway can add anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 to a property's value. An old, crumbling driveway can be a red flag for potential buyers and inspectors.

The amount of value added depends on the materials used, the design, and local market conditions. Concrete is often cited as adding the most value due to its long lifespan, though asphalt may be more desirable in colder climates. The return on investment is greatest when replacing a driveway that is in poor condition; repaving a driveway that is already in good shape will not yield as significant an increase in value.

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.
