"Hired Outlook to build a walkway from our driveway around the side of our house to back patio (slopes quite a bit so needed stairs). Matt came out right away (in the snow!) to review job, draw up plans, and make recommendations on the type of pavers and style of walkway. When project started in spring, the 2 employees did an amazing job working on all the details. It was obvious that they take a lot of pride in their work and the walkway is beautiful. The walkway was built 2 years ago and still looks like new. I plan to hire them again for another project. Would (and have) highly recommend Outlook Hardcape."

"I highly recommend Ed and his company crew. They did an excellent job on my concrete patio. The crew was professional, arrived on time, and paid close attention to every detail. The finished work looks great, and they left the area clean when the job was done. I’m very happy with the quality of their work and would definitely hire them again. Thank you for a job well done!

"Great job by Holliday Concrete. They communicated throughout the project, which was to replace the garage floor, driveway, front steps and sidewalk leading up. Great work, very professional. Clean up at the end was great as well."

The Overland Concrete Construction (OCC) estimator carefully explained how the company would accomplish the job. Upgrade and add-on features were conveniently presented for consideration.  For example, poor traction on our driveway has always been a concern. A concrete sealer with a traction additive was suggested. The result was impressive.

OCC's scheduler did a patient and persistent job of getting us on the schedule promptly.  There were rain events and other previously scheduled construction projects on our property to consider.

Superior design, materials and craftsmanship were provided to us by OCC.  Our project was difficult due to a significant incline from curb to garage.  Also, we had existing concrete walks that we wished to leave in place.  These factors limited the options available to our project foreman as he planned the forming and installed the forms for out concrete pour.  He knew how to achieve a good outcome and spent considerable time working with his crew to make it happen.  An element of artisan technique blended with construction expertise gave us a visually appealing product that functions well.

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.

New asphalt goes through two stages: drying and curing. Drying typically takes 24 to 72 hours, after which the surface is solid enough for light use like walking or careful driving. While you may be able to park on it after 72 hours, the surface is still soft and should be treated gently. Full curing is a much longer process, taking anywhere from 30 days to a full year for the asphalt to reach maximum strength. During this extended curing period, the asphalt is susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles, sharp objects, and high temperatures. Factors like weather, the specific asphalt mix, and application thickness all influence drying and curing times. For the most accurate timeline and to ensure the longevity of your new asphalt, it is always best to consult with your installation contractor for their specific recommendations.

The dimensions of a driveway apron vary based on local building codes, the width of your driveway, and the distance between the driveway and the road. On average, aprons range from 12 to 24 feet wide and 8 to 18 feet long. Typically, the end of the apron connected to the driveway matches its width—such as 10 to 12 feet for a single-car driveway—while the end at the street flares out to allow cars to turn in and out more easily. In some areas, you may not be responsible for the portion of the apron that extends beyond the sidewalk, but this depends on local laws.

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.
