"I needed a landscaper because my lawn was a mess (more weeds and moss than grass, it seemed), and water was seeping into the basement because of improper gutter drainage and soil grading. Oh, and there was a critter, possibly the skunk that was seen in the area, burrowing underground where there was a gap near my patio – ugh! I hired M&L because the quote was reasonably priced, and Leo was responsive, understanding and cooperative as my landscaping project evolved. The job he ended up doing included building a trench for the gutter downflow, re-grading the entire lawn, creating flowerbeds, installing a fence, doing concrete work (to keep that critter out!), and paving a small section of the yard to hold trash and recycling bins. Leo and his team showed up when they said they would, worked quickly and efficiently, and with the greatest attitude – all of them were hard-working and easy to deal with. I will definitely hire M&L again for future landscaping jobs, and I highly recommend them to others. My lawn now looks nice and neat, can't wait for the new grass to grow. Thank you, Leo and crew!"

"During my two years at The Carroll Center for the Blind, I had the pleasure of working with W.R. Walton Contracting on two separate paving projects. Each time, their proposals were extremely fair and competitive. The team was punctual, professional, and efficient, delivering superior results on both occasions. Communication with Linda from start to finish was perfect, making the entire process smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend W.R. Walton Contracting for their outstanding service and exceptional quality of work. Glenn Cowan"

"I had a smaller asphalt job that needed to be done and was having a difficult time getting any response from paving contractors. He responded quickly, came and gave a fair estimate, showed back up when he said he would and did a fine job all within a few days time. Couldn't ask for anything better."

Customers say: Quality work

"Was able to give me an estimate within a day or so. Had the driveway completed within a week. Granted it was a small driveway (700 SF) but was close to end of asphalt paving season and was happy they were able to do it so soon. They were the best price and the work was A+. Highly recommended!"

"Bob Muldoon arrived on time for the estimate and provided it within a week. He secured the permit from the city. Bob and his crew arrived exactly on time to perform the work. They were diligent and very professional. The quality of the work is outstanding and we have received compliments from neighbors. They removed all debris and material from the existing driveway. They graded the driveway to provide better drainage and provided us with good directions on post-installation care. They completed the work in a timely fashion. The crew didn't waste any time. It was obvious that they were veterans who know their trade very well. We would recommend Bob Muldoon Paving for any residential paving project."

"Y&C was great. That being said, I requested the service through a fixed price process that Y&C didn’t understand, nor did Home Advisors give any guidance on. Consequently, I paid a much higher price than was initially agreed to for a smaller amount of service."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.

Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope—anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway’s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.

A 500-square-foot driveway can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000, depending on the type of pavers you choose. Grass and concrete pavers are more affordable, while stone and cobblestone pavers are on the higher end of that price range. You’ll save some money by DIYing the installation, though we highly recommend sticking with a professional for this type of driveway installation.

An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.

The layer of polymeric sand under the pavers plus the polymeric sand that gets swept into the joints between your pavers holds them in place in a few ways. For one, the gritty texture of the sand helps lock the pavers together. Polymeric sand also contains bonding agents that get activated by water. Polymeric sand will take between 24 and 48 hours to fully cure, so do not walk on your paver walkway before this time.
