"We had a new 2-car garage built and needed a new driveway to span the width and height of the garage. It was getting late in the season and other paving companies were shut down for the season. We got a prompt and fair-priced quote from BIAGIOTTI ASPHALT PAVING the next day. Also, where 2/3 of the new driveway was formerly lawn and we had record rainfall this fall, it was all mud which was constantly being tracked into the house. After an early 9" snow fall, it looked like we were going to have this muddy driveway all winter long. After many communications for updates, John found a one-day window at the end of Nov. and laid out a binder layer for the winter - no more mud!. They came with a big crew, were very professional, and laid out a great driveway and walkways in about 6 hours. This spring they will come back to lay down the top coat after the binder layer has settled. We were very fortunate to have found BIAGIOTTI ASPHALT PAVING and highly recommend them!"

Customers say: Quality work

"My driveway was badly cracked and dipped down over the years creating a big gap between garage entrance and driveway levels. RJM ripped out my old paving and pored additional gravel to raise the driveway to level with Garage entrance and tapering back to the other end. Then they did the new paving on top of that gravel. Additionally, they also pulled out my old basket ball hoop on the back end of my driveway as well as replaced my old Postbox for me as a favor upon my request though neither of these were part of their paving job. They did a fantastic job though it took them 3 full working days 7/25/19 thru 7/29/19. I had to wait for 10 days before using the driveway because it was 85-90 degrees most days this summer and my driveway took much longer to set in fully. I tried to use it briefly to test after 5 days and noticed it was still leaving light tire marks. I spoke with Ron and he told me to water the driveway and wait another few days. Fortunately we had thunder storms for a couple of days and that really cooled it down. I found RJM Paving guys to be friendly and meticulous in their work. I would not hesitate to to recommend their services, if you are considering redoing your driveway."

"I am vey pleased with every step of the process. My request for an estimate was addressed within one day (my call returned same day, estimate provided the next day after the review).
Bob Muldoon responded to my request for the estimate, was very informative and addressed all questions. He also indicated that my city does require a permit and he would ensure that the necessary paperwork was completed and in good order (which he did).
His team were extremely efficient as they removed the prior driveway, it was evident that they work well together and within two days - I had a drive way which was sloped well, improved the apppearance and function of my home and I am confident will last another 65 years (if cared for as advised by Muldoon Paving). I was provided written instructions as to how to care for my driveway including advise to seal it after 12 months (who knew?).
I would be very confident in recommending Muldoon Paving.

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Pavers will crack in a fire pit if they are made of the wrong materials. Be sure to use kiln-fired brick paver stones when building your backyard fire pit. You can also purchase a fire pit project kit, which will sometimes come with fire-safe pavers, to help you avoid the guessing game of buying pavers separately.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

The best ways to increase the lifespan of your driveway are to carry out proper maintenance and get repairs done quickly. First, reseal your driveway every one to three years to protect it from the elements. If you start to notice significant cracks, hire a professional to diagnose the problem before it gets more serious. You can also use sand instead of salt when de-icing your driveway (since salt is corrosive) and clean your driveway annually using a pressure washer to keep it in tip-top shape.

The stones do not work well on uneven ground. If the stones are not buried into the ground and made level upon installation, they almost certainly will shift or crack on uneven ground. Additionally, rainwater or water from sprinklers can run under the edge of an uneven paver, causing erosion. In a freeze and thaw cycle, trapped water under the paver can cause the problem to worsen by shifting the stepping stones around. Use a bubble level to make sure the ground under each paver is as even as possible, even if the nearby ground is uneven.

You can pour concrete over asphalt if it’s in good condition, thick, stable, and well-compacted. Concrete is more durable than asphalt and can extend the lifetime of your driveway without having to pay frequent asphalt driveway repair costs or replace it completely. 

But this is best reserved as a temporary solution based on budget restraints, as asphalt requires more frequent repairs and assessments than concrete. Once that concrete top is poured, it’ll be harder to accurately understand what’s happening beneath that layer, which could lead to more issues.
