"I hire a lot of contractors over the course of a year, and XtraCare was by far one of the best I've worked with. They have excellent communication/customer service where they PROACTIVELY update you on timelines and statuses, they made great recommendations on materials for our hardscaping, and their pricing is on the higher end but definitely competitive and well worth the quality. The precision and attention-to-detail of the work was impeccable."

"I am very satisfied with the loose fill paving over my back parking lot and the driveway leading back. All grass was removed and edging was done prior to the fill being applied. Also a 4x70 asphalt walkway from my basement door was done very nicely. It’s been about one month and the loose fill is holding very well. The price was very affordable. I recommend this paving company and will be happy to contract with them for future work."

"All star replaced my walkway and repaired my sidewalk. Alex and his crew arrived early on a Friday and finished removing the forms the next morning. I am extremely happy with the finished surfaces. He and his crew took their time to make my walkway look great. My sidewalk had also sunk in several places. They removed the bad sections and replaced them. Afterwards they cleaned up the area and the cost was fair. I would hire them again and recommend them to a friend."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

If your driveway is cracked, you can repave it with a process called asphalt overlay. Overlay is more cost-effective than a full replacement but is better suited for minor cracks and issues. If you have major cracks or other problems like water pooling, asphalt overlay isn’t your best bet. Plus, paving over a cracked driveway only extends the lifetime by about 10 years, whereas replacing it would start the clock over completely to give you up to 30 years.

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.

Interlocking pavers offer a number of advantages over regular pavers. For instance, they’re more durable, more resistant to shifting, and easier to repair. There are also permeable options that allow for drainage. However, interlocking pavers are more often more expensive than regular pavers and are prone to growing weeds over time.

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.

An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.
