"Chase dove into a couple of projects on my farm that were a little too much for me to handle. He took the time to procure all the materials and we agreed on a bid. He held up his end of the bargain and the work was exactly what I asked for. One of a few young men with the drive to get things done. Will use him again for a future construction project."

"The lowest price may not always be the best choice. Murphy Excavation went above and beyond what they were hired to do and ate the extra cost. I'm always concerned about hidden factors in a project, unexpected things that has to be fixed in order for the job to be completed successfully, and many companies will nickel and dime you for the unexpected things; not only did the purchase items that was necessary for the unforeseen but they disconnected and cleaned out a pipe that had twisted in the ground and cause water to run the wrong way...into my basement. I believe had it been anyone else they would not have addressed the problem since it wasn't part of the job just part of the problem. I'm truly thankful that they went above and beyondð"

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

You should place a layer of thick landscaping fabric directly over the concrete slab and then a thin layer of leveling sand over that to protect the pavers from moisture. For border pavers, you should plan on locking them in place with polyurethane adhesive. This will prevent them from shifting under foot traffic.

A pallet of pavers will cost about $300 to $700 per pallet. Each pallet covers about 56 square feet. The specific price you pay per pallet of pavers will depend on a few factors, including the type of paver you’re buying, the size and shape of the pavers, and how many pavers you need. In some cases, you’ll spend less per pallet if you’re buying in bulk for very large paver patios.

Compared to a 10x20 concrete driveway costing between $800 and $3,000, a resin bound driveway of the same size costing $3,900 to $4,000 is the more expensive option. However, the cost still makes resin a cheaper option compared to a 10x20 paver driveway costing an average of $12,000.

You can pour concrete over asphalt if it’s in good condition, thick, stable, and well-compacted. Concrete is more durable than asphalt and can extend the lifetime of your driveway without having to pay frequent asphalt driveway repair costs or replace it completely. 

But this is best reserved as a temporary solution based on budget restraints, as asphalt requires more frequent repairs and assessments than concrete. Once that concrete top is poured, it’ll be harder to accurately understand what’s happening beneath that layer, which could lead to more issues.

The most obvious disadvantage of permeable paving is that the cost is typically higher compared to non-permeable concrete, pavers, or asphalt methods. Also, the porous material can get clogged with dirt and debris, requiring cleaning and power washing more frequently than standard paving materials and methods. Although permeable paving is not ideal for highways, airports, and other surfaces supporting heavy traffic and machinery, it is suitable for regular residential driveways.
