"Paul and his team were absolutely amazing! Paul gave us a thorough estimate with a great price, and the price of the estimate was exactly what we paid after the new driveway was complete. The crew were very friendly and extremely hard working! They were efficient while being extremely precise. We are more than pleased with our beautiful new driveway and will absolutely call Maryland Curbscape for future concrete projects!"

"Driveway looks great now. Crew was able to come out quickly and got the job done in less than a day. Price wasn't the cheapest offer I received, but not the most expensive, either. In all, a fair value."

"E Stanley paving did a great job. Their representative Joe was friendly and professional and able to answer all our questions. They started the job within a few days of the initial visit. It entailed a lot more work than I thought. They had to bust up three sections of the driveway in order to make it level and get a proper base and had to raise a drain in the driveway. Due to many issues with the county grinder in our front yard that the county has had to excavate our driveway had sunk down 3 inches. They created a smooth surface level to the sidewalk and did a nice job on the edges. We couldn't be more thrilled."

"Alex and the crew were amazing. They are a friendly and professional crew. Mindful of the existing areas, and very quick. They performed the driveway install over a holiday weekend and left our driveway and house looking clean, and professional. They made little changes to the design based on what all we had and how we used the driveway."

"Capital Paving & Sealcoating re-paved out driveway this week - - it is nearly 200 feet long and wide enough for three cars at the garage. They did an excellent job. They showed up on time, kept us informed every step of the way and truly cared about the quality of the work. They gave us an honest assessment of our driveway and pro's and con's of the options. I highly recommend them - - you won't be disappointed!"

"On April 4, 2013, Ballard Enterprises performed work involving 10 trees that needed attention.  The crew started at the promised time and worked diligently and carefully.  One 6 inch diameter dead oak in the back yard was cut down and the stump cut as low as possible.  For two smaller American beech trees in the back yard, Ballard performed a crown thinning to promote light and air penetration and remove dead, diseased and broken limbs.  For five large oak trees in the backyard (one up against the house), Ballard crews performed a crown cleaning of any dead, diseased and broken limbs.  For a large oak in the front of the house,  Ballard crews performed a crown cleaning of any dead, diseased and broken limbs.  For one large American beech in the back yard,
Ballard performed a crown thinning, removed any dead, diseased or broken limbs with a special emphasis to address limbs that were growing towards the back yard of a neighboring property.  The Ballard crew hauled away all wood and thoroughly cleaned up the back and front yards and the street area near the driveway.  The Ballard crew was always polite and respectful and asked questions if  a specific aspect of the work required clarification.

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.

Asphalt, which is stone mixed with tar, is the most common material for outdoor basketball courts because it’s so sturdy and versatile. However, you don't have to use it: another option is polymeric rubber, which has shock pads that can prevent injury. This option is a little more expensive, ranging between $16 and $25 per square foot.

Materials used for indoor basketball courts, such as hardwoods, aren’t really an option outdoors.

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.

DIY is not recommended due to equipment and expertise requirements. Professional services ensure durability and proper grading.

New asphalt goes through two stages: drying and curing. Drying typically takes 24 to 72 hours, after which the surface is solid enough for light use like walking or careful driving. While you may be able to park on it after 72 hours, the surface is still soft and should be treated gently. Full curing is a much longer process, taking anywhere from 30 days to a full year for the asphalt to reach maximum strength. During this extended curing period, the asphalt is susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles, sharp objects, and high temperatures. Factors like weather, the specific asphalt mix, and application thickness all influence drying and curing times. For the most accurate timeline and to ensure the longevity of your new asphalt, it is always best to consult with your installation contractor for their specific recommendations.
