"The crews from Irish Castle Paving who worked on my driveway during the preparation for paving, and then again during the actual paving, were highly professional and very courteous. They did a fabulous job, making sure everything was level and being very careful around the recently installed pavers adjacent to my driveway. They were meticulous about cleaning up when they finished. I could not be more pleased with the experience and with my new driveway."

"Chad was very responsive and very easy to work with. He was thorough, detail oriented, and completed the job when he said he would for the price he quoted me. We first have him scheduled in 1st week of October but then our roofing job could not complete in time and had to ask Chad to re-scheduled. He really went out of the way and re-scheduled it multiple times to fit our schedule. They are family owned business and treated us like a family member. It was great to see 2 brothers and their sons on the site working together as one family. The dug out old asphalt and cleaned out the entire area very nicely. Then, leveled and graded the driveway very nice to have very smooth surface. Finally, the beautiful new driveway with very smooth surface of 6 inches of asphalt was put on top to have a very solid and completely new driveway. They brought in an compacted a gravel base, and laid an expert looking asphalt coat over the top of it then. The workmanship and detailing of the work is unmatched of the entire crew. I would highly recommend working with Power Paving and Chad to anyone and I will look to use him again for any needs I have. Five out Five star and very best wishes Power Paving!!"

"First of all when I was inquiring for estimates for my asphalt driveway, Noah Stanley returned my call very quickly (other companies did not even return my phone call). Noah came to my home and explained in great detail what would done. He and his crew came at the scheduled day and time. Their work was excellent. (Some of neighbors watched as the crew worked. One made arrangements to have his driveway done.) My wife and I are extremely satisfied with our beautiful driveway. 5 stars is highest rating that could be given, but I would give N&S Paving more stars if I could. I will gladly recommend this company to all."

"They did my snow and ice removal all through the winter and I am more than happy. Local business, punctual, reliable, great work, great customer service and communication. No matter what time the snow and ice arrived, they took care of my driveway (3 cars), walkway and sidewalk. Michael Ware tries his best to keep his customers happy and I will certainly use them again next year."

"The toilet in the condo party room was running - our water bill tripled in one billing period. Marsel came to the rescue, noticed that the toilet was taking in HOT instead of cold water, which had caused interior components of the tank to malfunction. Marsel cut open the walls, corrected the plumbing, replaced interior components of toilet, patched and painted walls."

"Half of their work is very good. The other half is mediocre. They patched, acid etched and coated our 58 year old concrete porch with polymer modified coatings. Less than 6 months later the coating is worn and chipping off. They acid etched and coated the garage floor and said it would probably crack someday. Someday was 3 weeks. They removed the old wrought iron railings and installed new aluminum railings whose angles and placement do not match. They still have not replaced the small railing gate protecting the basement stairs. They installed Unilock Pavers. The pavers are basically level. They were supposed to repair and reinstall our chain link fence gate. They dug out one post and reset it leaning north. The gate was worse than before they started. We had to pay someone else to fix it so that it stays closed. They removed and replaced the asphalt driveway and did an excellent job but we spent 2 weeks with the driveway dug down to the clay with machinery and debris everywhere. The two river rock sections are very well done. They work, when they please. They say “we’ll be here tomorrow” and finally show up days later with increasingly outrageous explanations. This project is not finished and we are very displeased with the quality of the work and the way that Uptime Builders do business."

"After an extensive search of asphalt and driveway sealcoat services I decided to go with Jeff at AAA Sealcoat. Jeff came out when promised and gave me an estimate for seal coating and crack filling on my driveway. I have a very large driveway and Jeff's estimate was right in line with the other 5 companies I received estimates from. Out of all the representatives from the other companies i spoke with Jeff at AAA Sealcoating was the most knowledgable and was very honest about his products and services. Jeff and crew showed up as promised and did a great job with the driveway. I noticed some oil that had spilled from a truck on the drive a few days later and I called Jeff. Jeff came out and looked at the spill and I also showed him a few small cracks that the sealer did not fully fill. To my surprise Jeff said he would come treat the spots, refill the cracks and apply a new coat of sealant down. As promised the crew returned about a week later and fixed the problems. The driveway looks great and I could not be more pleased. I will be using Jeff and AAA Sealcoating from now on and I would recommend their services to anyone with confidence!

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Gravel is one of the few driveway materials that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at $1 to $3 per square foot, and can also last upward of 100 years.

Asphalt is not a type of concrete. While both are a common type of pavement, asphalt is composed of aggregates (like sand and gravel) and bitumen; concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, and water. Here are some of the key differences between asphalt and concrete driveways.

In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.

The material that’s best for your private road depends on your property, the climate in your area, and your personal preferences. Gravel is an affordable option, but some homeowners don’t like how it looks. It can be a pain to remove snow from, and it requires more ongoing maintenance than asphalt or concrete. However, while these other options require less maintenance and make snow removal a breeze, they’re more expensive and will need repairs from time to time. Ultimately, you’ll have to choose the road material that suits you and your property best.

Driveway aprons typically range between four and seven inches thick, though your town's building codes will likely have specific requirements. Additionally, you may need to add a layer of permeable aggregate in the excavation below your paved apron to ensure proper stormwater drainage.
