"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"
"Leo and his team completed their second job I hired them to do at our home. The first job was last fall. They regraded an acre in the backyard for proper runoff and repaired a 2 year old paver patio that was not done properly the first time. Always on time, good communication, and above all, a job done right. I invited them back this spring to grade the front of the property and customize the drainage that flows under the driveway. Another job done right and on time. They work hard and are worth every penny."
"Noah Dyer is the owner of Knight Paving and was on site and working shoulder to shoulder with his employees from the start of the job to the finish. He was extremely courteous, and professional. He answered all my questions and did an outstanding job fixing the end of my driveway which had many old cracks due to the drivewayâ  s extensive age. I highly recommend Noah for any and all paving jobs a customer might have."
"We are extremely happy with the job Chris and co. did in replacing our old concrete walkway with bricks. They worked neatly and efficiently and Chris helped us see our vision clearly. He’s a great guy, and has very fair pricing. We hope to use him on a project in the future. Deb D Bedford"
"David from the De'Angele Landscape & Construction Company gave excellent service at a reasonable price, just as I had wanted. I opted for their weekly clean-up and maintenance services. I moved into my new house in Rockland which had a proper front yard. My new landscaping was created by David with proper design services and gave my home an elevated and elegant appeal. I highly recommend their services to everyone."
"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!"
"Eduardo responded to my initial inquiry quickly, set and kept his appointment to see my project, sent me a quote within a week with a reasonable offer to replace my driveway. After reviewing I hired him and his crew. They set a mutual date with me, and arrived as planned. Job was done efficiently and professionally. I am very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend Eduardo’s Paving and Construction."
The most common causes of sunken pavers are poor base preparation and insufficient compaction. The problem could also be how your pavers were installed. If the soil beneath your patio or walkway wasn't compacted, it will pull pavers down as it settles. Additionally, using bare soil instead of making a paver bed with compacted gravel and sand can cause sinking over time. To fix sunken pavers, consider recompacting the base and addressing any drainage or erosion issues in the area.
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.
Generally speaking, tiles are for indoor use, while pavers are for outdoor use. The main difference between travertine tiles and pavers is their thickness. Tiles are around 1/2 inch thick, and pavers are 1 1/4 inches to 2 inches thick.
Pavers are more rugged and can handle different weather. The extra thickness on pavers also makes them ideal for high-traffic areas.
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.
Grass pavers are suitable for heavy foot or vehicle traffic, but they’re not as resistant as concrete or asphalt pavers.
