"Joe and his team are the most professional contractors! They did an excellent job on our driveway last Spring and provided constant follow-ups with the best service.

"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. Its 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."
"We love Ballard Enterprises!! We have been using their services for years. they do such a great job. they are prompt, cooperative efficient, and so dependable. The workers treat our property as if it was their own. When family and friends come over they always comment on our lawn and landscape saying "It looks so good! Your property looks like the White House lawn and gardens!!!" What better compliment can you get. I would highly recommend you give them a try. you will be happy you did."
"I am impressed with the customer service I received and overall experience. The owner was in touch with me first, within couple of days of purchasing the offer. The communication was ongoing and in timely manner it terms of date and time of arrival. I feel my needs were listened and executed in the design. The design exceeded my expectations. I am highly recommending Hoffman Landscaping."
"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."
"We were very pleased with Got Paving. Very competitive with the pricing. Excellent results. The driveway looks great! Aaron was attentive to our questions and included our concerns in this project. The project was started on the planned date and completed the same day. We made the right choice in selecting Got Paving and recommend them."
Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.
Driveway paving costs around $4,500 on average, but depending on many factors, you could pay anywhere from $2,500 to $6,600 or more. The size of your driveway will usually be the most significant factor, with more square footage increasing your costs. You can expect to pay between $2 and $15 per square foot for paving services.
Some other factors that play a role include the following:
Quality of the materials
Contractor’s experience and expertise
Site preparation and grading, if necessary
Layout of your driveway
While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.
Yes, but it's best to kill off the grass with solarization and remove the dead plant matter before laying down the pavers. This helps limit the chance of your pavers shifting as the dead plant matter decomposes.
Depending on project size, typically 1 to 3 days, including preparation and installation.
