"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."
"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."
"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"
"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."
"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 and his crew installed a paver patio for us, he provided some great suggestions for our project and everything came out perfectly. We 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!!"
Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope—anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway’s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.
Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.
While water-related pressure caused by poor drainage is one common cause of paver cracking, other factors can include ground movement beneath pavers, heavy loads and wear and tear over the pavers, and climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles. In general, pavers should be resealed every three to five years to prevent cracking.
A 500-square-foot driveway can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000, depending on the type of pavers you choose. Grass and concrete pavers are more affordable, while stone and cobblestone pavers are on the higher end of that price range. You’ll save some money by DIYing the installation, though we highly recommend sticking with a professional for this type of driveway installation.
Cobblestone driveways can take a major hit on anyone's bank account, begging the question of whether it's worth it to build a cobblestone driveway. Some homeowners might prefer more affordable driveway materials like concrete or pavers, which can give a similar appearance to cobblestone without the high price tag.
Paving your driveway costs between $2,500 and $6,600, to put that in perspective. But for others, there’s nothing quite like the timeless look of cobblestone driveways.
