"From our initial inquiry through the project completion everything was top-notch! We received clearly written information about the estimate, removal, and paving, as well as excellent explanations from on-site personnel. Photos, diagrams, and text laid out their plans. On site, staff took the time to explain exactly what they were doing and were meticulous about avoiding damage to some minor plantings that were close to the work, even though we told them not to worry. Online payment through links provided via email was extremely easy. Great company, great folks, great work!"

"Noah Dyer is the owner of Knight Paving and was on site and working shoulder to shoulder with his employees from the start of the job to the finish. He was extremely courteous, and professional. He answered all my questions and did an outstanding job fixing the end of my driveway which had many old cracks due to the drivewayâ  s extensive age. I highly recommend Noah for any and all paving jobs a customer might have."
"We spent 2 years renovating our house leaving our yard a giant mud puddle. Over the course of the winter, we worked with Ron to develop the landscaping plan. In the spring, his team re-leveled the entire lot, installed 2 patios with pavers, sod, a fence, prepped for a shed and put in a new asphalt driveway and vegetation. We are very happy with the final product."
"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."
"Dimitri and his team were outstanding and demonstrated excellent service and professionalism. Before our meeting Dimitri sent me an estimate for the project that was very easy to understand and was available through text or phone call to answer any questions I had. He showed up ready to go on the day that he was scheduled to be there. Dimitri explained in detail what how his proposal was going to be executed. His team were always prompt, courteous and professional to my tenants and family members. Throughout the project he kept in touch via text which was my preferred mode of communication. While working on my house he informed me if any dirties potential problems that may interfere with the substantial investment I was putting into this home improvement project. I was grateful for that information and was able to make the repairs needed. Upon completion of the project I was informed of any additional information I wanted to know for future reference. I would highly recommend Dimitri Painting & Masonry without reservation. Outstanding!"
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.
Yes, recycled asphalt driveway costs can be substantially lower than new asphalt. With new asphalt costing between $90 and $190 per ton, this option can cost as much as 10 times more than laying down asphalt millings.
Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.
Your driveway contractor will probably recommend that you avoid driving on your new millings driveway for up to a week. Keeping pressure off the freshy applied millings will help the driveway to bind together. While the sun is helpful for binding millings, hotter weather can actually make the curing process take longer.
You can expect your asphalt pavement to last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, or 25 years on average. The life expectancy of your asphalt driveway depends on the climate, the amount of traffic, and how well you maintain it. While you can’t necessarily control some of these factors, you can control the amount of maintenance effort you put into your driveway.
To prevent your asphalt from deteriorating prematurely, you should follow a good maintenance routine involving regular cleaning, reparation work, and resealing.
