"What a rewarding experience! Seven guys showed up at 7:45 am and  2 of them immediately began cutting down trees. The others began setting up for trimming, cleaning up, shredding, hauling and anything else that they knew had to be done. It was amazing to see how they worked in tune with each other. Even more amazing was how quickly the trees were down and then cleaned up! Next began the process of trimming our HUGE, old maple trees and a monstrous pine tree. Three of the men climbed into the trees and in no time had them cleaned up and looking GREAT. Once again, the others hauled the branches and had everything cleaned up in no time.  Even raked where the chain saw left debris. Our yard looked better when they left than it had ever looked before! The workers were all professional, extremely friendly and courteous, and strived to give us what we wanted. They asked our opinion throughout the process. We would HIGHLY recommend  Preservation Tree Service to anyone who needs this kind of work done."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Cobblestone driveways can take a major hit on anyone's bank account, begging the question of whether it's worth it to build a cobblestone driveway. Some homeowners might prefer more affordable driveway materials like concrete or pavers, which can give a similar appearance to cobblestone without the high price tag.

Paving your driveway costs between $2,500 and $6,600, to put that in perspective. But for others, there’s nothing quite like the timeless look of cobblestone driveways.

You’ll first need to install a base underneath your pavers for extra stability and drainage. Otherwise, the pavers can sink into the ground, and you’ll have to reinstall them. Use a base gravel layer of 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 10 to 12 inches for driveways. Compact your gravel layer every 2 to 4 inches so it’s nice and solid. After you install your gravel base, apply a 1-inch layer of sand on top.

Decomposed granite and caliche can both harden into a solid surface using a plate compactor. However, due to decomposed granite’s fine particles, it’s not suitable for driveway surfaces. Some homeowners use pea gravel mixed with a gravel-binding resin to bind the loose stones and create a solid surface that won’t shift like loose gravel.

Think of the street as a way to capture all the elements on either side of the road, including the road—a street encompasses the homes or other buildings, the trees, and the road of a given area as defined by the beginning and end of the street on a map. A roadway, however, is the component of the street where cars travel.

Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs.
