"From start to finish John Cooper paving did a top notch job, very professional.can’t say enough about the guys who did the job, helpful and friendly, i highly recommend this company when you need their service, you won’t be sorry you did"
"Asphalt Division did an amazing job at an amazing price and finished my (fairly long) driveway (including an area for a car turnaround) on time and ahead of schedule. The good experience started when my call was returned immediately, something that is rare these days where you are lucky if people return your messages at all. Next, John was able to quickly give me an accurate and fair estimate of the project price (using Google Street View) within a few minutes. Once the team was on site, they listened to my needs, and then executed them during the paving process. They were quick, professional, and cleaned up the surrounding area after they were done. I'm extremely happy with the results and highly recommend them to anyone for paving in Middlesex County and surrounding areas in Massachusetts."
"Bernie and his team did an extensive project (walls, pavers, trees and bushes) in the front of our home. All the work and service was of the highest quality. The end result is exactly as we wanted. The team was great in coordinating with other providers (sprinklers, lighting). Absolute highest recommendation. We will be hiring them again to do our back yard."
"I cannot say enough great things about this company. Awesome crew, great manager (Leo). Very hard workers. completed a big Job in 4 days. Very reasonable price compared to local contractors. great cleanup, only waited a few days before work started. I definetly recommend this great company to anyone who needs landscaping, patio and walkway installation at a fair price. Will give out his card to anyone who needs this service. Great job Leo and good luck with your business. Also serving the South Shore area."
"Noah was very professional and easy to work with. He was able to get my project done within my budget and quickly. Would definitely use Knight Paving again."
"Definitely a 5 stars rating! Many thanks to Mike for the backyard project. Always showed up on time, well experienced and super helpful in giving us the paving design recommendations. Highly recommended."
"Andrew did a great job with our front walkway and landing. We showed him a picture of what we wanted and he did exactly that! His attention to detail and craftsmanship was evident throughout the process. He was reachable and responsive during the project and was always on time and onsite when he said he would be here. He went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with the project. Highly recommend Walkways by Andrew!"
"I highly recommend George from A Plus Affordable Asphalt! George and his crew were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left everything spotless when the job was done. The cleanup was just as impressive as the work itself. They gave me a great price, and the finished driveway looks fantastic. The quality of their workmanship exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for an honest , reliable company that does outstanding work they are the ones to call!!"
Pavers will crack in a fire pit if they are made of the wrong materials. Be sure to use kiln-fired brick paver stones when building your backyard fire pit. You can also purchase a fire pit project kit, which will sometimes come with fire-safe pavers, to help you avoid the guessing game of buying pavers separately.
The material that’s best for your private road depends on your property, the climate in your area, and your personal preferences. Gravel is an affordable option, but some homeowners don’t like how it looks. It can be a pain to remove snow from, and it requires more ongoing maintenance than asphalt or concrete. However, while these other options require less maintenance and make snow removal a breeze, they’re more expensive and will need repairs from time to time. Ultimately, you’ll have to choose the road material that suits you and your property best.
While paving a driveway is possible to do as a DIY project, we don’t recommend it. Hiring a driveway professional to pave it will ensure that your driveway looks neat and clean and lasts for years to come, and it will also prevent a weak driveway and, potentially, damage to your foundation. Paving a driveway requires heavy machinery, and while you can rent the equipment needed, operating it close to your garage slab or around your home’s foundation can crack it and lead to structural issues.
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.
Driveway pavers are often worth the cost. Paver types like cobblestone, brick, and concrete are highly durable, and permeable paver options can be tremendously eco-friendly. While you may pay more for a paver driveway, you’ll see great returns from the increased curb appeal and low maintenance compared to other types of driveways.
