"LTs Paving Solutions was referred to me by Home Advisor when I was looking for asphalt contractors for my deteriorated driveway and carport pad. I searched on Google, Yelp and Home Advisors sites for reviews of asphalt companies in our area. LTs Paving Solutions stood out with the highest ratings and highest number of customer reviews, as well as an A rating with the Better Business Bureau. I met with Timothy Oaks, owner and project manager of LTs Solutions. He provided a drone generated aerial photo with markup that showed an outline of the projected driveway with square footage which he forwarded to me on my phone during the interview. This was quite effective. He then proposed what he would do in detail. He gave a two-day timeline and threw in the replacement of a deteriorated asphalt path. I texted a few follow-up questions and Tim responded immediately. I accepted his bid for removal and replacement of the existing asphalt the next day. LTs Paving Solutions emailed a contract outlining the scope of the project. Very thorough with no surprises. On the second day of work, an official from the city dropped by and explained that the apron at the entrance of the driveway would require concrete instead of asphalt as per city codes. Since the city required concrete, Tim proposed a more consistent look by doing everything in the same material. Tims price to go ahead with concrete was reasonable and made good sense. I agreed to go with concrete. Everything went smoothly after the changes. The work was done with skill, precision, and I might add... artistry. Everything was as exactly promised in our first conversation. The driveway, carport and sidewalk look amazing. A perfect job."

Small jobs welcome

"We had Soil Friends do two projects for us recently. First they removed a river rock filled garden in the back yard, hardscaping the area, removing the rock and the top layer of hard soil. They installed a retaining wall and filling it with new top soil. Bob's attention to detail made for well built and beautiful retaining wall. The second project involved hardscaping an area where several pine trees had stood and building a mounded area for future trees and bushes. Ben kept us informed every step of the process. We highly recommend Soil Friends for any landscaping project."

"Keagan did an awesome job hot-filling all the cracks in our driveway and then sealing it with two coats of sealer! The driveway looks fantastic and I am very sure I will get multiple years of service from this one seal job! He was on tiume and budget, and left everything as neat and clean as you could ever want - I highly recommend him!"

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your driveway ideas. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.

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.

While it may be less expensive initially to lay concrete vs. pavers, the long-term expenses that come with repairing concrete may prove to be less cost-friendly than simply replacing a few damaged pavers. On top of that, stamped concrete may only last for 25 years compared to pavers, which can last over 50 years.

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.

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.
