Best asphalt driveway pros near Linwood, MA

"We hired Asphalt Engineering to install a driveway this past summer to replace our gravel and deteriorated bituminous concrete driveway with new bit conc. We sought proposals from two contractors. Although their prices were within a few hundred dollars of each other’s, Asphalt Engineering’s proposal was far superior. It was a multi-page document that included photos, sketches, details, dimensions, and a cost estimate. The other contractor submitted a two-paragraph proposal. Asphalt Engineering arrived as scheduled to remove the existing driveway, grade, and install a gravel base sloped for proper drainage. A week later they returned, as scheduled, to install the binder and finish coats. Their work was excellent. The driveway now drains as it should. I highly recommend Asphalt Engineering. If I had another driveway, I’d hire them again. You should too!"

"I have worked with over a dozen A-rated companies on Angie's List, and the Narrow Lane is my favorite. We have worked with them consistently for over 5 years. They are reliable, diligent, and very talented. I have spoken many times with the crew members and know that the Narrow Lane pays fair wages and respects all labor and finance laws. Here is a story: when heavy snow tipped one of our giant arborvitae over, the snowplow crew noticed. Before we even asked for help, the owner of the Narrow Lane was on site to assess the problem. His crew righted the tree immediately and saved its root system, also saving us a lot of money. The company has the intimacy of a small business, but I have been surprised by the breadth of their capabilities. They have a landscape architect with decades of experience. Many of the team members have a deep knowledge of botany. They have heavy equipment and take care of stonework and landscape lighting. If you hire the Narrow Lane for snow removal, the operations director will send you an email before EVERY winter storm discussing the forecast and the company's plan for your property. You can call or email them at any time to modify the plan based on your needs, for example, your work schedule. In summary, the Narrow Lane is a high-performing company that adheres to its principles and will take very good care of you and your property!"

"Marc and his team just performed a digout and backfill for our new addition/garage including drainage and prep for concrete. Marc provided a very fair price, great service, and his crew was top notch!! I would highly recommend..."

"I worked with Masonworks in May 2022 on a big project to completely re-do my patio around my inground pool, driveway wall, and two sets of steps. I had a great experience from start to finish, primarily working with Bruno as my main point of contact. I’m a first-time homeowner who was taking on my first significant project at the house. I asked a lot of questions before I decided to partner with Masonworks on the project and Bruno was consistently helpful, timely, and patient in his responses. The project required coordinating with a fence installation company, as I was also putting up a new vinyl fence around the patio. Bruno came onsite a 2nd time before we signed our contract so he could meet with the fence company and make sure everyone was aligned on the plan. Also, I was allowed to go into their office in Woburn to see the pavers in person before finalizing my choice, which I appreciated. The work started on time and progressed as expected, which was important to me due to the coordination with the fence company and trying to keep the whole project on track. Bruno’s crew was respectful of the property and did a great job with the project. Towards the end of the job, Bruno and I did a walkthrough together and created a final punch list. His crew addressed all of the items on the punch list and the patio looks great. We received a lot of compliments from our neighbors while the patio was being constructed (it was visible to the whole neighborhood before the new fence was installed). I would definitely go with Masonworks again for future projects."

"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"

"Mr. Dasilva was very pleasant and processional. I would highly recommend his work. He did a great job. He took all the branches and limbs that were hanging over the driveway. Left the driveway clean as well. Highly recommend!!"

"I asked that some leaves be removed (with a blower) which they had on their truck. Without clearing the leaves it seemed that the seeds wouldn't be planted properly. The guys arrived on time and called ahead to let me know when they would arrive. I declined the fertilization because most fertilizers are petroleum based products. I wanted to keep my lawn "organic and wasn't sure that would be possible. The guys were here around 30-40 minutes. When I requested for them to park in driveway instead of in my neighbor's parking space. They said they would move if he arrived. They said removing leaves wasn't park of the job and then charged me an extra $150 for blowing the leaves off the area and bagging them. I thought that would have been part of the job in order to insure success. Since I wasn't using the fertilizer I asked if they could help set up a hose in order to irrigate the lawn. ( I am disabled and could not walk without pain) . They did not do that. I asked how to avoid having the birds eat the seed that they were spreading. They said keep it wet. I figured with the extra $150 dollars they should have been willing to help set this up. I was told to get some compost and spread it over the seeds to keep birds from eating it. This could have been done by them."

"John's Landscaping Service replied right back to me when I left a message looking for a quote on service.  They said they would send someone out the next day to look at my yard and then prepare a quote.  The quote came back at $750, which included two clean-ups, one in early Nov. and one later in Nov.  The price was more than I was used to paying, but because I have a fairly large yard with dozens of trees surrounding it, I knew it would be a big effort.  I needed to have the work done, so I went with it.
I wish that I was able to talk to someone when they came out to look at the yard and give a quote.  First of all, I happened to come home when the first clean-up was being performed, and there was a section of my property that wasn't cleaned up.   I had to explain to the team where my property lines were because the property lines aren't necessarily symmetrical.  This could have been avoided if I met someone when they came by to make an estimate.  Second, both times the team performed the clean-up, they left a 4-5 ft strip of undisturbed leaves that runs along the border of my neighbor's driveway (so about 15-20 feet).  My neighbor has already cleaned his yard, so now there's a whole patch of stuff that has to be cleaned.  It's right on the property line, but 1) now it looks ridiculous, 2) I'm probably going to have to clean up the rest of it, and 3) if there was a question about where the property line was, or if they should go right to the driveway, why didn't someone ask?  When I mow the lawn in the summer, I don't leave a patch unmowed.  Ultimately, the service was fine, but I'm not sure if I will use John's Landscaping again due to price and some of these minor inconveniences.
