"Tino from JK Company worked closely with me thru every phase of the project which was to replace my broken concrete driveway with paving stones. He was always very professional and provided frequent updates on status and scheduling. The quality of the work was absolutely top notch and the end result is a definite enhancement to my home's curb appeal and value. I would highly recommend Tino and his crew to anyone. And I have received many compliments on how beautiful my new driveway is from friends and neighbors!"

"The paving team they have is amazing! They took a little longer than expected but wow. They did an amazing job replacing my driveway and making it seamless! My expectations weren't very high because I work with many companies for my job and know how most contractors work but these guys are so different. They care about their work and the client's satisfaction! I had 3 other companies quote me and grade A was higher in price but steve knew what he was talking about as soon as he saw my drive. The village was giving them issues about depth but didnt know what the end goal was so they did have to pay a fee that teve told me about immediately. I will be contracting them again for future sealcoats and any other asphalt needs. Highly recommended!"

"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."

"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!"

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.

Asphalt, which is stone mixed with tar, is the most common material for outdoor basketball courts because it’s so sturdy and versatile. However, you don't have to use it: another option is polymeric rubber, which has shock pads that can prevent injury. This option is a little more expensive, ranging between $16 and $25 per square foot.

Materials used for indoor basketball courts, such as hardwoods, aren’t really an option outdoors.

Gravel is the cheapest way to extend a driveway. Gravel is an affordable, practical option that’s easy to install and perfect for DIY projects, helping you save on labor costs. It can be quickly spread and leveled to create extra driveway space without heavy preparation. While gravel doesn’t offer the same durability or finished look as concrete or asphalt, its low cost makes it ideal for budget-conscious homeowners who want a functional solution without overspending.

Cobblestone driveways can take a major hit on anyone's bank account, begging the question of whether it's worth it to build a cobblestone driveway. Some homeowners might prefer more affordable driveway materials like concrete or pavers, which can give a similar appearance to cobblestone without the high price tag.

Paving your driveway costs between $2,500 and $6,600, to put that in perspective. But for others, there’s nothing quite like the timeless look of cobblestone driveways.
