"I have hired David and David Jr. for 2 projects now. And I will be having them back again this springtime. They did an extensive Potager Rose Garden with walk ways of stone, incased in a stone wall with pillars. In the center is a 3 tier water fountain. It turned out exquisite. They helped me design the garden and gave such interesting ideas that I had not thought of. Their work ethic is stellar. They are honest , forthright and fair. And the quality of work is simply exquisite. They found large thick flat stones that were used as steps out of the garden that just added the final touch. Then to my surprise they added out door lighting that at night is just beautiful reflecting off the roses and fountain. They took my dream to the next level. The next project we did a stone walkway, patio and again, the same huge thick stone slabs for steps all the way around the patio. It is stunning . We will be adding a covered pergola to it this spring tying in the front and back yards with the same style and finesse. If you are looking for professionals that you desire to take your project to the next level, and to be fair in price and superb in quality of work, then this is the company for you. You can find workmen, but to find someone with the eye to design according the topography and to capture the esthetic of the house and land is not easy to come by. This spring we will be adding more walkways and extending a stone wall, and building more pillars making entrances to the barn and private drive. I would trust no other company with my property and my visions for this property, after having worked with them. I am assured you will feel the same."

"Jon called within minutes to set up an appointment for the next morning at 9 am. He arrived on time and was able to diagnosis the problem with my central vac within a few minutes. He checked everything thoroughly and found another outlet, I didn't know even existed. I was very pleased with his promptness, knowledge and professionalism. He also charged me a very fair price. I would definitely recommend this company for any of their services and plan on using them again, if needed."

Asphalt Driveways FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Cobblestone is just one of many driveway materials. Other, more economical, albeit less elaborate options include concrete, asphalt, and gravel. 

If you want a material that most closely resembles cobblestone, your best option is bricks or pavers. Both cost anywhere from $10 to $50 per square foot and can be laid in all kinds of patterns. Depending on the type of paver you choose, you can also get a good bang for your buck by investing in durable natural stone.

Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope—anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway’s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.

Yes, it is possible to pave over an existing driveway, but whether it's the right choice depends on several factors. If the underlying structure of your current driveway is still strong, concrete or asphalt resurfacing can be a cost-effective way to prolong its life. However, if your driveway has significant issues like potholes, deep cracks, or other inconsistencies, it is best to remove the old driveway and start from scratch. Key factors to consider include the current driveway's condition, the compatibility of the new material, the added thickness and height, and the necessary surface preparation.

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.
