"LTs Paving Solutions was referred to me by Home Advisor when I was looking for asphalt contractors for my deteriorated driveway and carport pad. I searched on Google, Yelp and Home Advisors sites for reviews of asphalt companies in our area. LTs Paving Solutions stood out with the highest ratings and highest number of customer reviews, as well as an A rating with the Better Business Bureau. I met with Timothy Oaks, owner and project manager of LTs Solutions. He provided a drone generated aerial photo with markup that showed an outline of the projected driveway with square footage which he forwarded to me on my phone during the interview. This was quite effective. He then proposed what he would do in detail. He gave a two-day timeline and threw in the replacement of a deteriorated asphalt path. I texted a few follow-up questions and Tim responded immediately. I accepted his bid for removal and replacement of the existing asphalt the next day. LTs Paving Solutions emailed a contract outlining the scope of the project. Very thorough with no surprises. On the second day of work, an official from the city dropped by and explained that the apron at the entrance of the driveway would require concrete instead of asphalt as per city codes. Since the city required concrete, Tim proposed a more consistent look by doing everything in the same material. Tims price to go ahead with concrete was reasonable and made good sense. I agreed to go with concrete. Everything went smoothly after the changes. The work was done with skill, precision, and I might add... artistry. Everything was as exactly promised in our first conversation. The driveway, carport and sidewalk look amazing. A perfect job."

"We have not done the work yet because it was more than we were expecting. We have an extremely large driveway. The estimate was detailed and contained all the info we needed. It was a good quality estimate. It was not hand written it was typed up and had a lot of detail. They got back to me within a few hours and someone was out to look at the work within 3 days, and they got back to me with the estimate. I would use them again."

"I would recommend the Ranches Landscaping for anyone. Jose is the owner and he does the work. His pricing was much lower than the bigger landscaping companies. Actually the bigger landscaping companies hire him and add pure profit for themselves. Don't waste your time getting the big companies. The Ranches Landscaping does a professional job. They take pride in their work and are also willing to negotiate on the price."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Many asphalt companies have experience with tar and chip paving, but not all. The process is unique enough—and not incredibly common enough—that you may have to look around for a tar and chip specialist. However, speaking with a driveway company is a great place to start, especially if they have experience with multiple materials.

The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your driveway ideas. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.

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.

If your driveway is cracked, you can repave it with a process called asphalt overlay. Overlay is more cost-effective than a full replacement but is better suited for minor cracks and issues. If you have major cracks or other problems like water pooling, asphalt overlay isn’t your best bet. Plus, paving over a cracked driveway only extends the lifetime by about 10 years, whereas replacing it would start the clock over completely to give you up to 30 years.

The most common causes of sunken pavers are poor base preparation and insufficient compaction. The problem could also be how your pavers were installed. If the soil beneath your patio or walkway wasn't compacted, it will pull pavers down as it settles. Additionally, using bare soil instead of making a paver bed with compacted gravel and sand can cause sinking over time. To fix sunken pavers, consider recompacting the base and addressing any drainage or erosion issues in the area.
