"David Browe Paving did a spectacular job shaping and installing a lengthy paved driveway and parking area for my house. It is high quality and made a huge improvement to my property. Additionally David Browe, his salesman and his work crew are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. It was a great experience overall."
"Excellent! Very professional people, high quality work done, and the job was reasonably priced. Plus gave us some valuable suggestions on the other paving surfaces in the house. I'd hire them again any minute."
"First of all I want to thank Heidi, she was excellent! She really explained everything in detail. She knows the business in and out which made it an easy decision to go with this company. Also, Jim (the owner) and his entire team showed up and they weren't wasting any time on doing an awesome job on our big driveway. It was amazing to see all the guys and machines moving up and down the driveway which was in such despair. Not only did they regrade our driveway getting rid of all the potholes they added stone to the entire driveway and then they paved it. They definitely surpassed our expectations from start to finish. If anybody needs paving these are definitely the pros to call!!!"
"We had our driveway and sidewalks paved, and the company did an excellent job. The crew was prompt, professional, and very courteous throughout the entire process. Their workmanship was high quality, and everything was completed on time. We’re very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for paving services."
"Allied paving did a fantastic job on repairing our roof for our buisness , there are no leaks anymore! They applied roof coating (which I highly recommend) very satisfied with the ease of this project and the customer service."
"We highly recommend Henry and his team at Republic Masonry. Not only was the quality of their work excellent, the customer service was superior to that of many other companies. Henry let us know what work was done/was upcoming and was very professional in all dealings with us. The price for the job was fair as well."
The recommended minimum amount for a paver base is 4 inches. From there, it depends on the kind of traffic the pavers will see and the current soil conditions. Two inches of paver base won’t create the amount of stability and support that pavers need to remain securely in place over time.
Pavers are a type of permeable hardscape that can be used for driveways, patios, walkways, and other landscaping features. Unlike poured concrete or asphalt, pavers typically have a layer of gravel underneath to prevent water runoff from damaging your property—though you can also lay pavers on grass. Because pavers are installed piece by piece, you can customize a one-of-a-kind hardscape that best suits your aesthetics, boosting your curb appeal along the way.
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.
The dimensions of a driveway apron vary based on local building codes, the width of your driveway, and the distance between the driveway and the road. On average, aprons range from 12 to 24 feet wide and 8 to 18 feet long. Typically, the end of the apron connected to the driveway matches its width—such as 10 to 12 feet for a single-car driveway—while the end at the street flares out to allow cars to turn in and out more easily. In some areas, you may not be responsible for the portion of the apron that extends beyond the sidewalk, but this depends on local laws.
Grass pavers are suitable for heavy foot or vehicle traffic, but they’re not as resistant as concrete or asphalt pavers.
