"John came over and gave me a price quote. He was pretty much in the middle of the ballpark with price, but I got the feeling from him that he would do whatever it took to make the job come out right, and he did. The first day they completely demolished the old driveway and patio and got rid of all the debris. Then, it rained for a week. They came and worked whenever the rain permitted them to. They still got done in a timely manor in spite of the rain. John had his crew do a few extra things for me during the job so that everything would be perfect. The results are terrific. We love our new driveway, patio and porch. I would recommend NY Paving and Masonry. "

"Highly recommend Next Level Concrete! From the first conversation to the finished project, the entire experience was great. They were professional, quick, and showed up on time every day, which is hard to find these days. Communication throughout the project was excellent, and they answered all of our questions while making sure everything was done exactly how we wanted. The quality of work exceeded our expectations. The new walkways and patio completely transformed the look of our home and yard and gave everything such a clean, updated look. You can tell they take pride in their craftsmanship because every detail was done with care and precision. Not only did they work efficiently, but they also kept the job site clean and stayed on schedule. If you're looking for a reliable company that delivers quality work, professionalism, and great customer service, Next Level Concrete is definitely the company to call. We'll absolutely be recommending them to friends and family!"
"Masonworks recently took my small city patio from a mess of tree roots and uneven bricks to a smooth, sleek bluestone with a low fieldstone raised planting bed. They did beautiful work and were customer service-oriented throughout. The price was very fair - another company was asking almost twice as much - and everyone was a true professional focused on doing the job right. Because I'm home in quarantine, I watched them do the whole thing - they were very deliberate and careful and left the place as sparkling clean as an outdoor patio can get. In the past I had another company redo my patio and it was like night and day working with Masonworks. Great process, great outcome."
"Mark is a great communicator and service provider for lawn maintenance. He was the first business to respond to my email inquiry from Angie's List and gave me an honest take on how to replace and take care of the lawn for the summer. Since we are a condo unit he was willing to provide a quote and explain his services multiple times so all members of the association understood. Since we contacted him during a busy time the quote process did take a few weeks. Also once the contract was signed and sent, it took an additional two weeks to hear back from M.A.S., but once the work started you could see the transformation in the yard was immediate and we received a couple of compliments from neighbors right away. I would recommend his service to other homeowners, especially the fact that he splits payment into three phases (deposit, 1st day of work, day work is completed). There is more security in knowing the job will get done with that type of payment plan. There were three men on his crew, on site, each time they came to the property; so work was done quickly as well. We signed up for his monthly maintenance plan as well (one cut a week plus edging and trimming). "
If your driveway is cracked, you can repave it with a process called asphalt overlay. Overlay is more cost-effective than a full replacement but is better suited for minor cracks and issues. If you have major cracks or other problems like water pooling, asphalt overlay isn’t your best bet. Plus, paving over a cracked driveway only extends the lifetime by about 10 years, whereas replacing it would start the clock over completely to give you up to 30 years.
If you miss the perfect time frame to trowel finish concrete, you likely won’t get the smooth, flawless result you’re looking for. In this case, you should contact a concrete professional or look to methods like sanding, grinding, or patching once the concrete dries. These methods will ensure the best final result for the lowest cost.
If your new pavers look dull or unclean, it is likely due to efflorescence, a chalky, white powder that forms when lime in the pavers gets wet. This condition often resolves on its own, as rain will naturally wash it away within about a year. For faster results, you can use a pressure washer to clean the pavers. Alternatively, consider using cleaning products specifically designed to remove efflorescence or applying sulfuric acid crystals.
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.
Yes, using recycled asphalt millings is an eco-friendly alternative compared to concrete. Millings are reclaimed pieces of gravel that are recycled into aggregate that can be used on driveways, patios, walkways, basketball courts, tennis courts, and more.
