"Joe and the crew from E Stanley did a great job widening our driveway. The job consisted of three parts. First, dig under the existing driveway and remove the roots that were growing underneath. Second, dig a couple of feet on both sides of our existing driveway to widen it out. Finally, pour asphalt on top of the driveway to replace the old one. Joe came in at the best price and finish the entire job in a single day.."
"Amazing job on my full replacement and extension of my driveway. They were very competitive with their estimate and they explained exactly what they would do to make sure the job was done properly. My job required excavation work and installing a new base layer throughout the new and old driveway. They also made sure that they did not interfere at all with my neighbors. Professionals from the estimate to installation. I highly recommend them!"
"I have been waiting for 20 years to get a new driveway. Finally got it done. Mike came out to give us a quote in a timely manner. We booked the job and we are completely satisfied with the work. Alex and his team were amazing hard workers. They removed our old cracked and crumbling driveway and sidewalk to the front porch. They regraded the ground for the new wider driveway, poured a new driveway, sidewalk and steps. They also resurfaced the front of our porch. It was a three day job, but we couldn't be happier with the results. The team was courteous, hard working and professional. The clean up was great and new grass seed was laid along the driveway and sidewalk. We would definitely work with them again. Thank you All Star Contracting."
"We've been wanting to do a patio and driveway for the past 5 years. We shopped around for quotes, designs, etc...and finally decided on doing a patio and found Hoffman Landscaping late in our search. Brian was friendly, helpful, responsive and professional from the beginning. He was able to cover all of our design ideas and gave us a great price. The patio turned out GREAT and my wife and I are VERY happy with the outcome. Brian obviously takes pride in his work and took his time to do things right. Working with Hoffman Landscaping was stress-free and had the feel like they were friends of the family, doing us a favor. We would highly recommend and plan on using them for other projects in the future. "
"Richard Emge & family. Did a fantastic job on our driveway. 500' plus long. Everyone was courteous, professional and knew there job. Stayed true in his estimate. Did exactly what we agreed too. Would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a new driveway! Very pleasant"
"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."
"As a rule, I don't write reviews. Had to make an exception this time. Outdoor Advantage is outstanding. The crew reduced the eroding slopes adjacent to two driveways and placed sod. Placed four fairly mature flowering shrubs into large planters. One week later, and both sod and plants are thriving. The advice I received as to how to manage my needs was terrific. Great "plant knowledge". They patched up a bare spot not in the original work order. Thorough clean-up. "A+" all around."

"Job went great. Kyle's office called me back promptly when I left my first message and Kyle came out a couple days later and gave me a derailed estimate broken out with a number of different options and prices. We scheduled the work and Kyle came out and sprayed the weeds. The original date for laying the gravel was delayed due to weather, but communication with Kyle was always clear and timely. On the day the work was to be done, Kyle and his crew showed up on time and removed the top layer of existing gravel and put down a Geo-tex underlayment. The gravel was delivered in the afternoon and was spread across the driveway and into the carports. The driveway looks excellent. Kyle and his crew moved stuff we had left in the way so that they could spread stone and cleaned up everything when they were done. They coiled hoses I had left out and made everything look better than when they got there. I recommend Kyle and AZALEAS TO ZINNIAS without hesitation. His price was a third of what another contractor quoted me, and he went above and beyond in so many ways. I didn't include it in my proposal request, but Kyle dug up sunken paving stones and placed them properly in the new gravel, without adding that cost to the estimate. Great company."
Cobblestone is just one of many driveway materials. Other, more economical, albeit less elaborate options include concrete, asphalt, and gravel.
If you want a material that most closely resembles cobblestone, your best option is bricks or pavers. Both cost anywhere from $10 to $50 per square foot and can be laid in all kinds of patterns. Depending on the type of paver you choose, you can also get a good bang for your buck by investing in durable natural stone.
Gravel is one of the few driveway materials that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at $1 to $3 per square foot, and can also last upward of 100 years.
Asphalt paving offers several benefits, including cost-effectiveness and a quick installation process. It provides a durable and smooth surface, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. With proper maintenance, asphalt also offers longevity.
Gravel is the most economical and least expensive driveway material, costing between $1 and $3 per square foot. This is significantly cheaper than alternatives like asphalt or concrete. However, it's important to consider long-term costs, as gravel driveways require regular maintenance. You will likely need to add new gravel filling once or twice a year and regularly rake it to keep it level, which can add to the overall cost over time.
The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt.
Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it’s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.
