"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"

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."

"Yovanni and his team at Y & C Landscaping and Construction did an amazing job transforming our backyard! They flattened the hill, cleared all the trees and bushes, built a beautiful retaining wall, added fresh loam, and installed a brand new lawn. The backyard looks absolutely beautiful, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They were professional, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. I highly recommend Y & C Landscaping and Construction!"

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Think of the street as a way to capture all the elements on either side of the road, including the road—a street encompasses the homes or other buildings, the trees, and the road of a given area as defined by the beginning and end of the street on a map. A roadway, however, is the component of the street where cars travel.

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.

You’ll first need to install a base underneath your pavers for extra stability and drainage. Otherwise, the pavers can sink into the ground, and you’ll have to reinstall them. Use a base gravel layer of 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 10 to 12 inches for driveways. Compact your gravel layer every 2 to 4 inches so it’s nice and solid. After you install your gravel base, apply a 1-inch layer of sand on top.

Whether it's worth it to install a heated driveway depends on how often you'll use it, your lifestyle, and your budget. If you live in a mild climate with little snowfall, then installing a built-in heated driveway system may not be worth it. If you live in a region that experiences mild snowfall, then a portable mat could work better. However, if you live in a region with heavy snowfall, it makes sense to invest in a built-in heated driveway. 

Paving is a part of hardscaping, so all paving is hardscaping, but not all hardscaping is paving. Paving involves laying down concrete or asphalt, while hardscaping can also include the use of paving stones, bricks, gravel, wood, and more. Hardscape features that involve paving are considered permanent and will increase your property taxes, while some other hardscaping features—like those involving bricks, gravel, and paving stones—will not affect property taxes. Paving also typically requires a permit, while hardscaping features considered temporary will not.
