Q: How long does a cobblestone driveway last?

• <div><p>If you care for and maintain your cobblestone driveway, it may last for several centuries. So, while cobblestone driveways have a high upfront price tag, you&rsquo;re unlikely to need to replace it throughout your lifetime. This gives cobblestone driveways a major advantage over other driveways, which tend to have much shorter life spans. </p><p>For example, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-an-asphalt-driveway-last.htm">asphalt driveways last</a> between 15 and 30 years, while concrete driveways last around 50 years.</p></div>

Q: Should I winterize a newly installed driveway?

• <div><p>You should contact your driveway installer before winterizing a newly installed driveway. Winterizing it before the asphalt or concrete has fully cured can damage the driveway. But in many cases, you don't need to winterize a newly installed driveway anyway since it's likely freshly sealed and won't have much damage yet. </p></div>

Q: What types of driveways don't need to cure?

• <div><p>A gravel driveway can be driven on instantly. While pavers don't technically need to cure, you'll typically be told by a contractor to wait at least 24 hours before driving on any stones or bricks after they've been set. While an asphalt driveway does take up to 72 hours to cure, this is far shorter than the week required for concrete driveways.</p></div>

Q: Why are my pavers sinking?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Chris rebuilt the pergola better than new, and ensured that he painted everything with a water-resistant paint. He's enthusiastic, competent, and quick.

I dealt with the Project Manager William. 318-277-1088. He was detailed, and very professional. My property has never had such a beautiful appearance. In my experienced opinion if you want landscaping done with top grade materials and done right, then you need to call him.
