"I really liked the people in this company, but after a great start, their communications were lacking. They made a good faith effort to do a perfect job, but there were several details that didn't turn out as agreed even after discussion. Realistically I couldn't be there all the time to point out the problems. My next-door neighbors just complimented me on the project."

"Mike is Great! Best price around. He and his crew spent the day in the 85+ degree heat doing my rather large circular driveway. Being my first paved driveway, Mike took the time to explain how to care and maintain it. We were having some water pooling issues with our gravel driveway, they tapered and leveled where needed. Would highly recommend. Couldn't be happier. Thanks Mike!"

"We have worked with Terry since April, 2022. Our garden was overgrown and our flower beds needed serious repair. He has exceeded our expectations with regard to the quality of his work and willingness to accommodate our schedule. His coworkers are courteous, hardworking, and show an aptitude for the landscaping with minimal supervision. Highly recommended and we are fortunate to contract his services."

"The project hasn't started yet, we're in their backlog of work for next year. They did respond promptly and professionally with a reasonable estimate and came out to go over the job with us. Very pleased with the customer service so far. Will comment more once the job is completed. I had to rate the quality and value or the app wouldn't let me proceed. So gave them a 4 for the moment."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

Yes, pea gravel is good for driveways as long as your driveway isn’t built on a hill or any type of slope where it can slide. It’ll settle on a flat surface and create a suitable driveway over time, though some spreading initially will take place. If you're wondering how to make a gravel driveway in a high-rainfall area, using pea gravel could help you to cut down on costs needed for extra drainage solutions.

Yes, you should lightly wet the sand with a hose before laying the pavers on top. This activates the bonding agents in the sand, ensuring that your pavers don’t shift around during the installation process. However, you should make sure that the sand is not soaked; overwatering can cause the sand and pavers to not set properly.

The average cost of 1,500 square feet of asphalt ranges from about $10,500 to $22,500, depending on location, thickness, base material, and how accessible the job site is to crews and equipment. Keep in mind that your asphalt material cost may vary depending on its type, ranging from porous asphalt to heated blacktop. Standard asphalt costs $7 to $13 per square foot.

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.
