"Asphalt Engineering team did great job paving our driveway. They did a lot of coordination bringing heavy equipment on really busy street and on relatively small driveway. The crew members did not cut corners when they prepare area for pavement and doing pavement as well. Quality of job they done is outstanding. Despite town restricted first phase of the job due to the heavy traffic, project was done on time by performing first phase of the project on weekend. On a negative site: company failed to receive permit from the town probably not making enough efforts to explain details of the job to the town officials. We as owners get permit, despite absolutely ridiculous town requirements."
"From start to finish John Cooper paving did a top notch job, very professional.can’t say enough about the guys who did the job, helpful and friendly, i highly recommend this company when you need their service, you won’t be sorry you did"
"Fantastic!!! Fair price, fast service and worked safely. Job was done in only one day with a great, very hard working, crew. Already requested an estimate for a second project. They cleaned the area up after the job was done. Yes,I would hire them again."
"Excellent customer service, work, followup and pricing. Professional, friendly and obviously experienced crew. The office manager was thorough and organized and returned phone calls promptly. They exceeded my expectations from initial consult visit to post-job follow up. Will definitely hire again!"
"We are extremely happy with the job Chris and co. did in replacing our old concrete walkway with bricks. They worked neatly and efficiently and Chris helped us see our vision clearly. He’s a great guy, and has very fair pricing. We hope to use him on a project in the future. Deb D Bedford"
"We had our driveway and sidewalks paved, and the company did an excellent job. The crew was prompt, professional, and very courteous throughout the entire process. Their workmanship was high quality, and everything was completed on time. We’re very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for paving services."
Professionalism and customer service are the first things that come to mind when describing my experience with Ron and The Narrow Lane Landscape Company.
I hired Narrow Lane to do a backyard renovation; remove stumps, grade, loam, seed + hydro-seed and plant 20+ Giant Arborvitae?s along a back hill. Throughout the process Ron was communicative about the schedule and providing updates on expectations. Even weeks after the project was completed Ron was following up to ensure my complete satisfaction and that the grass/arborvitae?s were coming along as expected. The outcome of the work is terrific with a backyard that is an oasis compared to what was there before Ron and team worked on it.
If you?re looking for a Nordstrom/Four Season?s like professionalism/customer service experience, but at a Target like price then consider the Narrow Lane. I?m glad I did.
"Definitely a 5 stars rating! Many thanks to Mike for the backyard project. Always showed up on time, well experienced and super helpful in giving us the paving design recommendations. Highly recommended."
A traditional driveway gate isn’t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A security gate like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate—if not better for your home depending on which qualities you’re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.
It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It’s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting.
Paving is a part of hardscaping, so all paving is hardscaping, but not all hardscaping is paving. Paving involves laying down concrete or asphalt, while hardscaping can also include the use of paving stones, bricks, gravel, wood, and more. Hardscape features that involve paving are considered permanent and will increase your property taxes, while some other hardscaping features—like those involving bricks, gravel, and paving stones—will not affect property taxes. Paving also typically requires a permit, while hardscaping features considered temporary will not.
Paver driveways are durable and aesthetically pleasing, but they do have a few cons. For instance, paver driveways are often more expensive than asphalt and concrete driveways. They also make it easier for weeds to grow where the separate pavers meet up. They may also be more likely to settle over time.
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.
