"About 10 or 11 years ago, AC Paving installed a new asphalt driveway for us. Our original driveway was gravel and dirt. We were extremely please with the work and the price. The driveway has held up beautifully through the years, but it was looking like it needed sealant and we had a damaged area where water has frozen and thawed over and over. Today, AC Paving showed up at our home. They were in the neighborhood doing work and they remembered us from years ago. They immediately got to work and now we have a lovely, good as new drive. I highly recommend this company. They do good work, they clean up after themselves, and the owner is always on the job with his crew, seeing to every detail. We will always continue to call them when we need their services. Dawne Miller, Upper Marlboro"

"Excellent job!! It was a pleasure working with E. Stanley Asphalt Paving. Joe did the estimate and was my contact and was there with the crew when the job was done. When Joe left during the paving, after having discussed the plan and what was being done, he introduced me to his father who stayed there until the job was done. Before the repaving the driveway was in bad shape and no work had been done on it for over 35 years but it now looks great! This is a top notch multigenerational family business. I highly recommend them."

"Great service, friendly, cooperative & extremely punctual! Beautiful results in a very timely fashion. No mess left behind at all! My driveway was a VERY big & difficult task. It required complete tear down & proper re-doing including all new crushed stone (there was none originally - they just poured a thin layer of asphalt over clay). Will hire them again in the Spring to seal the asphalt."

"Great paving and sealing job. Help solve another issue that we were having."

I wasn't sure if I wanted the stamped concrete option verses the pavers when I first started my search so I decided to select a few specialists for both the stamped concrete and the pavers.

I quickly decided against the stamped concrete option. It offered far more patio for the money. Yet, the warranties were the worse of the choices.

Of the remaining choices for the paver patios, Mike's quote was the highest...and to be quite frank, First Impression Hardscape offered the lowest of square footage for the cost of the possible contractors for the job.

Here were the deciding factors for choosing the company that offered a little less patio for a little more money:

*I wanted high quality work over considerable size

*We decided on Nicolock pavers and the Nicolock manufacturer performed extensive screening prior to deeming the company a recommended contractor

*HomeAdvisor also perform extensive background checks and screening and deemed the company a recommended contractor for the job.

*First Impression Hardscapes uses many of the suggested techniques the Nicolock manufacturer suggests as "best practices"...So, we got to watch videos on the Nicolock site and knew exactly what steps would be taking to install our patio prior to the actual installation. It was fun knowing the different stages in advance and watching it play out.

*First Impression Hardscapes' technique was slightly more extensive then the other contractors. Neither of the other possible choices used edge-restraints. FIH also used something a bit better than the usual poly-sand for insect and weed control.

When spending thousands of dollars on a project for the home...of which I have little prior experience with soliciting help...the above mentioned factors played a significant part in my decision!!!

Of course, after any huge purchase decision, a given buyer tends to have a bit of buyer's remorse...Such the case with me...Well, Mike, our primary point of contact, is great with handling buyer's remorse. He's confident about his products and services. Yet, he will let you brainstorm and question EVERYTHING until you've got it out of your system. He endured many many inquiries. He endured so many long-winded emails about the cost, process, color choices. (By the way, I strongly advise against making a color choice from the Nicolock catalog, very deceiving...Best to visit a stone store and see for yourself.

Well, I went to two stone stores...I didn't speak with a representative either time. I found a color I loved at one store...thinking it was the same as the color I saw in the catalog. Then I went to another store, assuming the display was exactly the same and the same color looked awful. So, we left it up to Mike to choose something he thought was suitable to our taste as well as resale value, and...as life would have it, he ended up choosing the original color that we saw and loved at the first stone store we visited.

About the actual process. The pavers were laid perfectly. The guys arrived on time each day. They WORKED!!! Great attention to detail. They clearly knew what they were doing and had some training in "professionalism" as well as the actual job at hand. The clean-up effort was as superb as the actual installation!

They met my expectations...I chose First Impressions because based on the Angie's List reviews as well as the endorsement from highly reputable companies, I felt like I couldn't lose. I felt like I greatly optimized my chances of getting the best quality patio possible by selecting First Impression Hardscapes. The company didn't let me down!!!

My neighbors fell in love with the workers! My neighbors are extremely particular about the upkeep of our cul-de-sac and antennas go up at the thought of anyone getting major work performed to the outside of the properties. Yet, all were pleasantly surprised, and the installation itself, the speed, as well as the clean-up efforts far exceeded their expectations!!! The neighbors are ecstatic!

I think FIH is going to land another sale in my neighborhood very soon!!!

Mike and John...We LOVE your crew!!!! Thanks for everything!!!!

"Fantastic workwoman ship, customer service and company. Our driveway was trashed and BADLY in need of seal coating, crack and patch repair. They came out, fixed ALL the cracks and were able to give our driveway a DOUBLE coat of sealant-it needed it! Super nice and great communication. Will be sure to recommend-they do all asphalt services. COVID-19 compliant in case you care...."

"There are some who may charge less and there are many who charge a lot more but there are none as Diggers Paving. They are Perfectionists. Highly recommend."

"We are very happy with our work. Sidewalk was completed in one day, driveway done in one long afternoon. Owner responded same day to request for quote. Price was very reasonable. Owner and crew started work on time, professional, safe, worked hard and efficient, finished on schedule. Cleaned up like they were never there. Work shows pride in every detail, all edges are smoothly finished, driveway is graded for runoff, sidewalk and driveway elevation match, & they safely paved under air con unit. We highly recommend All Star Contracting!"

"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."

"Outstanding responsiveness and customer service. Dave Nutter worked with us to find the exact landscaping that worked best in our yard. He is incredibly knowledgeable and had pictures of all possible plants to help us decide."
