"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

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.

The average cost to repair an asphalt driveway is around $2,459 to $2,500. However, prices can range from $100 for minor DIY crack filling to over $4,000 for more extensive professional work. Costs are often calculated per foot, with minor repairs costing $1 to $3 per linear foot and heavier damage like potholes, sinking, or crumbling costing $2 to $5 per linear foot. Patching smaller potholes can cost around $2 to $3 per square foot. The final price depends on the severity and extent of the damage, driveway design, local contractor rates, and whether sealing is included. For major repairs, it is recommended to hire a professional, and you may get a better deal by bundling repair and sealing services together.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.

When asphalt cures, it typically changes from a very dark black hue to a lighter, more matte gray color. Cured asphalt also won’t be tacky or sticky to the touch or emit any odors from the asphalt mix. Additionally, the surface of fully cured asphalt won’t deform under any pressure.
