"I needed a landscaper because my lawn was a mess (more weeds and moss than grass, it seemed), and water was seeping into the basement because of improper gutter drainage and soil grading. Oh, and there was a critter, possibly the skunk that was seen in the area, burrowing underground where there was a gap near my patio – ugh! I hired M&L because the quote was reasonably priced, and Leo was responsive, understanding and cooperative as my landscaping project evolved. The job he ended up doing included building a trench for the gutter downflow, re-grading the entire lawn, creating flowerbeds, installing a fence, doing concrete work (to keep that critter out!), and paving a small section of the yard to hold trash and recycling bins. Leo and his team showed up when they said they would, worked quickly and efficiently, and with the greatest attitude – all of them were hard-working and easy to deal with. I will definitely hire M&L again for future landscaping jobs, and I highly recommend them to others. My lawn now looks nice and neat, can't wait for the new grass to grow. Thank you, Leo and crew!"

"We had lived in Mystic, CT for 18 years so we didn't know the local paving contractors when we purchased our property in York, Maine three years ago; therefore, when I needed a paving contractor, we went to Home Advisor. New England ABC had 15 reviews and I believe all were 5 star reviews! I called them and spoke to Jason who came to our home to review the project and give us an estimate. We looked at the sq.ft. itemized estimates and I though it was a very fair price. We called Jason back to check his schedule and we planned and performed the work within two weeks. Jason called to confirm the work schedule and completed the driveway work as quoted along with some additional detail. The time-frame, price, performance, and quality exceeded our expectations. I would recommend this company for their attention to detail, great crew with the right equipment any time. Best regards to NEW ENGLAND ABC ASPHALT BRICK & CONCRETE"

"We found Asphalt Expert through Homeadvisor. We got several quotes on the driveway from other contractors. Their cost of installation was fairly priced and my wife and I were really impressed with the owner, Joe, on how knowledgeable and thorough he was during our initial in person consultation. Best decision we ever made. Joe and his crew were extremely detailed, hard working and efficient. There is a definite skill set to paving and the driveway turned out amazing. I would make the decision to go with Asphalt Expert again and will recommend him to friends and family. One last thought (sad to have to mention it) we are a younger family with little girls. Joe and his crew were extremely personable and thoughtful around the family. This is a contractor that met our needs and expectations 100%."

"The Driveway Guys exceeded our expectations. We are a nursing facility that had multiple pavement issues, causing trip hazards for our residents. I called Chris and he came over that same day, gave us an estimate within a day. We were happy with the estimate so we hired Chris and his team to get the project done ASAP. Within a week Chris was at our facility tearing up the pavement and regrading the driveway to make it flat for our residents. Also, we had Chris do some other emergency work for us."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

The stones do not work well on uneven ground. If the stones are not buried into the ground and made level upon installation, they almost certainly will shift or crack on uneven ground. Additionally, rainwater or water from sprinklers can run under the edge of an uneven paver, causing erosion. In a freeze and thaw cycle, trapped water under the paver can cause the problem to worsen by shifting the stepping stones around. Use a bubble level to make sure the ground under each paver is as even as possible, even if the nearby ground is uneven.

Generally speaking, tiles are for indoor use, while pavers are for outdoor use. The main difference between travertine tiles and pavers is their thickness. Tiles are around 1/2 inch thick, and pavers are 1 1/4 inches to 2 inches thick.

Pavers are more rugged and can handle different weather. The extra thickness on pavers also makes them ideal for high-traffic areas.

To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, check that the company is licensed and insured.

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.

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.
